AI Search & GEO / AEO

Share of Model

Share of Model (SoM) quantifies a brand’s share of mentions when common industry questions, such as requests for good-value laptops, are repeatedly submitted to several AI models. It adapts the concept of market share to AI search. Unlike conventional ranking measures, results can vary with the tool, prompt and model version, so regular benchmarking is more meaningful than a single test. An industry-standard methodology is not yet established, although marketing technology companies are introducing SaaS products to automate monitoring.
