How We Score

TrustRank™ Methodology

Our AI Search Visibility Index measures how often and how prominently each firm is cited in AI-generated responses to the corporate finance queries that matter most to prospective clients. Every score is based on live prompt testing — not website traffic proxies or survey data.

1

50 Prompts Defined

We identify the highest-intent prompts corporate finance buyers type into AI tools — from restructuring queries to CFO advisory to sector-specific capital raising.

2

4 AI Platforms Tested

Each prompt is run on ChatGPT (GPT-4o), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. We record which firms are cited, ranked, and how prominently they appear.

3

Citation Scoring

Firms earn points for each citation. Position 1 citations score higher than passing mentions. Consistency across platforms multiplies the score.

4

AI Score Calculated

AI Score = the percentage of tracked prompts where a firm earns a meaningful citation. Scores are normalized and updated every quarter.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Corporate Finance AI Visibility Directory

ProCloser.ai's TrustRank™ methodology tracks 50 high-intent prompts monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. For each prompt, we record which firms are cited, how prominently, and in what context. AI Score is the percentage of tracked prompts where a firm receives a meaningful citation or recommendation. Scores are updated quarterly.
AI systems recommend firms based on content authority, structured data quality, and the clarity of their online positioning — not brand recognition or AUM alone. A well-established firm with poor digital content architecture can be systematically overlooked by AI engines, even while dominating traditional referral channels. This is the gap TrustRank™ is designed to expose, and it's an opportunity for firms willing to invest in GEO.
Yes. Firms that invest in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), structured schema markup, authoritative Q&A content, and consistent citation-building typically see measurable AI visibility improvements within 60–90 days. ProCloser.ai specializes in exactly this work for corporate finance firms. Get a free audit to see where your firm stands today.
We track 50 prompts covering restructuring & distressed advisory, capital markets & capital raising, CFO advisory services, sector-specific corporate finance (healthcare, PE, tech, energy, etc.), deal support (due diligence, ESOP, SPAC, valuations), and general corporate finance advisory queries. See the full prompt list in the Prompts Explorer section above.
