Northstar HRHR softwareExample story

From not found in the top 50 to an average position of #6

Cited by AI assistants but almost never recommended in the shortlist buyers actually see.

Twelve weeks · ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity

The situation

Northstar HR appeared as a source in AI answers about HR software, yet was rarely named when buyers asked which platform to choose. Being cited was being mistaken for being chosen.

What we did

  • Mapped 20 buying questions across awareness, comparison and decision stages.
  • Tracked every question weekly across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with extended depth to 50 recommendations.
  • Identified the comparison pages, directories and review sites shaping each answer.
  • Prioritised the sources with the strongest influence and the weakest coverage of the brand.
