Recommendation rate
Share of prompts where the target is positioned as a suggested option.
Definition
Recommendation rate is stricter than mention rate. It tracks whether the answer elevates the brand as a fit—not merely name-drops it among many options.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
