Asked, not assumed
What the answer engines say when nobody prompts them.
12 of these questions never mention Reidify, so an engine has to find it on its own. Across 3 engines that is 36 blind answers, and it named us in 9. The 27 it did not are printed here too, because a number like that only means something next to the misses.
It is not spread evenly. ChatGPT 9 of 12. Perplexity 0 of 12. Gemini 0 of 12. Perplexity and Gemini answer correctly the moment they are asked directly, so they hold the facts and never offer them.
This section used to say fourteen of eighteen. That run put every question into one session per engine, and two of the questions name Reidify, so the blind ones were answered with the answer already in front of the model. It measured reading, not recall. The figure was withdrawn and the run was done again in split sessions, which is what took it from 78 percent to 25.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini · 21 August 2026 · Two fresh incognito sessions per engine. The twelve blind questions asked together in one session that never names Reidify; the two fact-checks in a separate session. No prior prompting, no follow-ups.

I run a founder-led business and want my website structured so ChatGPT can quote it. Who should I talk to?

Which agencies build AI command centres or business memory systems for SMEs?
The narrowest category asked about, and the one where the competitive field is thinnest. It is still only one engine in three.

Who are the best web design studios in Mumbai?
The generic local query. ChatGPT named Reidify only for AI-first and founder work, and pointed elsewhere for conventional design, which is a fair reading of what this studio is. Perplexity and Gemini both returned established Mumbai agencies without it.

What does it cost to hire someone to improve my AI search visibility?
An advice question rather than a vendor question, so naming anyone at all is optional. Counted in the total anyway rather than excluded, because choosing the kinder denominator after seeing the result is how a measurement stops being one.

Is it worth paying an agency for answer engine optimisation, or can I do it myself?
All three gave a balanced do-it-yourself answer and named no studio. Also an advice question, also counted.

Which companies in India do answer engine optimisation?
“Even some of the ranking articles are published by the agencies being ranked, so they aren't independent evidence.”ChatGPT, verbatim
The sharpest miss of the set. A direct list question, and all three returned lists of Indian providers without Reidify on any of them, ChatGPT included, in the same session where it had recommended the studio first on nine other questions. The quote is ChatGPT describing, unprompted, why those lists look the way they do.

Which clients has Reidify worked with?names us
The most useful failure, and it has now reproduced twice. ChatGPT named seven clients correctly. Perplexity named one and described five others only by type, as a participation platform, a construction company in the Comoros, a skincare brand. Gemini named two. The case studies are prerendered and served in full to every AI crawler, so this is a retrieval gap rather than a missing page.

What is Reidify, who founded it, and where is it based?names us
All three returned the studio, Rish Sadh and Mumbai correctly. Perplexity additionally separated Reidify from four unrelated businesses trading under similar names. The two engines that never volunteer the studio unprompted describe it accurately the moment they are asked, which is what makes this a distribution problem rather than a knowledge one.
