Sample AVS Reports

Last updated 29 April 2026

Three fictional businesses, three real AVS reports. See exactly what you'll receive as a client — Top 12 recommendations, 12-pillar analysis, transparent scoring, and competitor tables. One shows a first measurement (Report 1), one shows progress tracking (Report 2), and one shows multi-market analysis.

Sample AVS Analysis

These are three complete example AVS reports — a meal kit startup, a SaaS project management tool, and a large department store chain — each demonstrating a different cadence, tier, and report format. The methodology is real. The Top 12 recommendations format is real. You're seeing exactly what you'll receive as a client.

Note: All three are fictional businesses with fictional data. K&C pricing in the reports is indicative — finalised once you've confirmed which recommendations you want K&C to support with. PR Connect pricing is an estimate that depends on the partner engaged.

AVS Annual · Report 1

Box Meal

Meal kit subscription · UK startup · 12 people

AVS 18/100, Ghost band under v1.1 methodology. AI knows Box Meal for sustainability but never recommends it for general meal kit queries. HelloFresh owns 42% share of voice. The opportunity: own the eco-friendly niche and expand into broader queries.

Report 1 format · Annual cadence · single market
AVS Bi-Annual · Report 2

Pebble

SaaS project management · UK startup · 8 people

AVS 24/100, Visible band under v1.1, up from 15/100 (Ghost) in Report 1. This is a subsequent report showing how the format tracks progress: what was done, what moved, what's next. The +9 point uplift came from executing 6 of 12 Report 1 recommendations.

Report 2 format — includes progress tracking, score change, LLM landscape update
AVS Quarterly · Multi-Market

BigShop

Department store chain · UK & Germany · 2,200 people

AVS 62/100, Cited band. Combined UK (65) and Germany (48). An established retailer with strong real-world recognition translating into AI visibility — but a significant UK-Germany gap that the report identifies and addresses market by market.

Report 1 format · Quarterly cadence · multi-market
Box Meal
AVS Report 1 · Annual

Box Meal is a fictional UK meal kit delivery startup — locally sourced ingredients, zero-waste packaging, recipe cards delivered weekly. Two years old, 12 employees, growing fast through Instagram and word of mouth. Their founder asked ChatGPT "what's the best meal kit in the UK?" and got HelloFresh, Gousto, Mindful Chef. Box Meal wasn't mentioned. That's when they found us.

The Business
Company profile
Founded: 2024, Bristol
Team: 12 people
Revenue: ~£2M ARR
Markets: UK only
Sector: Meal kits / food subscription
Main channels: Instagram, some Google Ads
PR activity: None to speak of
Competitors: HelloFresh, Gousto, Mindful Chef, Abel & Cole
The Measurement
AVS Report 1 — 6,300+ data points

We collected 6,300+ data points across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity over a 7-day measurement window. Every response was scored and mapped to Box Meal's 12 AVS pillars. The result told a clear story.

18
AI Visibility Strategy (out of 100) · Ghost band
Box Meal scored 18/100, Ghost band under v1.1 methodology. AI knows Box Meal exists and frames it positively around sustainability, but never recommends it in general "best meal kit" queries. HelloFresh dominates at 42% share of voice (187 mentions), followed by Gousto (31%, 138 mentions) and Mindful Chef (14%, 63 mentions). Box Meal appeared just 12 times, all in ChatGPT, zero in Google AIO and Perplexity.
Key Finding
Visible on sustainability, invisible on everything else

Box Meal is visible when sustainability is the explicit topic — but invisible when the question is simply "best meal kit in the UK." The sustainability niche is a foothold, not a destination. The major food-press comparison articles (BBC Good Food, Good Housekeeping, TechRadar) that AI draws from don't include Box Meal on any of them.

The Recommendations
Top 12 prioritised actions with indicative pricing

The full report contains 12 recommendations ordered by likely impact, each with a type tag (K&C Content, K&C PR Connect, Combined, Internal) and indicative pricing. Box Meal's top three:

01
Get listed on BBC Good Food, Good Housekeeping, and TechRadar roundups — The listicle publishers are the citation sources AI draws from. Box Meal appears on none of them. [K&C PR Connect]
02
Build an "eco meal kit" content hub on boxmeal.co.uk — Double down on the sustainability positioning that AI already recognises. Create the canonical resource. [K&C Content]
03
Launch founder profile and LinkedIn newsletter on sustainable food — AI cites LinkedIn thought leadership. Box Meal's founder story is an untapped asset. [Combined]

Plus 9 more recommendations covering schema markup, original research, case studies, video content, and directory listings.

AVS 18/100 · Ghost · 12-pillar analysis · competitor comparison · citation sources · Top 12 recommendations

What this example shows

Box Meal demonstrates the base AVS Report 1 format — the first measurement for a new client. Score derivation, 12-pillar grid, competitor tables, citation sources, and 12 prioritised recommendations with indicative pricing. Annual cadence means one report per year; the next report (Report 2) would add progress tracking, score change, and an LLM landscape update. Focus. Measure. Plan. Deliver. Repeat.

Pebble
AVS Report 2 · Bi-Annual

Pebble is a fictional UK SaaS project management tool for freelancers and micro-agencies. Founded 2022, 8 employees, bootstrapped, based in Manchester. Simple, opinionated PM — tasks, time tracking, and invoicing in one place. £12/mo per user. Positions itself against Monday.com, Asana, Trello as "the PM tool that doesn't need a PM to set up." This is their second AVS report — six months after Report 1.

The Business
Company profile
Founded: 2022, Manchester
Team: 8 people
Revenue: Bootstrapped, growing
Markets: UK only
Sector: SaaS / project management
Pricing: £12/mo per user
Cadence: Bi-Annual (2 reports/year)
Competitors: Monday.com, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Notion
The Measurement
AVS Report 2 — 6,100+ data points (second measurement)

Six months after Report 1, we collected 6,100+ data points across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity over a 7-day measurement window. This is Report 2 — it includes everything from Report 1 plus three additional sections: progress against previous recommendations, score change, and an LLM landscape update.

24
AI Visibility Strategy (out of 100) · Visible band · up from 15 in Report 1
Pebble climbed from 15/100 (Ghost band) to 24/100 (Visible band), a +9 point improvement and a band upgrade. The team executed 6 of 12 Report 1 recommendations, completed 3 partially, and deferred 3. The /vs comparison pages and blog content are working — they account for 40% of all new mentions. Monday.com leads at 312 mentions (34.2% SoV), followed by Asana (278), Trello (245), Notion (198), and ClickUp (156). Pebble has 28 mentions, up from 15.
Report 2 Exclusive
Progress tracking — what was done, what moved

Report 2 adds a progress section showing the status of each Report 1 recommendation: 6 Done (including /vs pages, FAQPage schema, G2/Capterra listings, ProductHunt launch), 3 Partial (LinkedIn newsletter started, TechRadar inclusion confirmed, one case study published), 3 Not done (original research, podcast sponsorship, second case study). The +9 point uplift demonstrates the strategy is working — the recommendations that were completed drove measurable improvement.

Key Finding
The /vs pages are working — but authority-building is next

Pebble's /vs comparison pages account for 40% of all new mentions since Report 1. But Pebble is still invisible in generic "best PM tool" queries. The next phase is authority-building: original research, press coverage, and video content that moves Pebble from "niche alternative" to "category contender" in the freelancer PM space.

The Recommendations
Top 12 refreshed — completed items replaced, priorities reshuffled

Report 2's Top 12 is refreshed from Report 1 — completed items drop off, new opportunities replace them, and priorities reshuffle based on what the data now says. Top three:

01
Publish original research: "UK Freelancer Productivity Report 2026" — Carried over from Report 1 (#8, not done). Elevated to #1 because the /vs pages proved owned content works. Original research is the next leverage point. [K&C Content] Indicative: bespoke
02
Pitch The Guardian and Wired UK "best tools for freelancers" features — New. Guardian Tech and Wired UK roundups are high-authority citation sources AI draws from. [K&C PR Connect] Estimate: bespoke
03
Build a "Pebble Academy" video tutorial series on YouTube — New. YouTube content feeds Google AIO directly. 6-episode series on freelancer PM workflows. [Combined] Indicative: bespoke

Plus 9 more recommendations including LinkedIn cadence increase, case study completion, integration directories, and methodology content.

Pebble — AVS Report 2
AVS 24/100 · Visible (up from 15 Ghost) · progress tracking · score change · LLM landscape update · refreshed Top 12

What this example shows

Pebble demonstrates the Report 2 format — the subsequent measurement that shows progress. Three sections are added on top of the standard Report 1 structure: (1) progress against Report 1's Top 12, (2) score change with per-dimension breakdown, and (3) an LLM landscape update covering what's changed in the AI ecosystem. The Top 12 recommendations are refreshed — completed items replaced, new opportunities added, priorities reshuffled based on fresh data. Focus. Measure. Plan. Deliver. Repeat.

BigShop
AVS Report 1 · Quarterly · Multi-Market

BigShop is a fictional large UK department store chain — fashion, homeware, beauty, and an acclaimed food hall. Founded 1956, 2,200 employees, 45 stores across the UK and 8 stores in Germany. Known for quality own-brand ranges and in-store experience. Their head of digital knew BigShop trailed John Lewis and M&S in AI recommendations — but she needed to understand exactly where, how badly, and whether the gap was the same in each country.

The Business
Company profile
Founded: 1956, London
Team: 2,200 people
Revenue: ~£380M
Markets: UK (45 stores) + Germany (8 stores)
Sector: Department store / multi-channel retail
UK competitors: John Lewis, M&S, Next, Selfridges
DE competitors: Galeria (Kaufhof), KaDeWe, Breuninger
Cadence: Quarterly (4 reports/year) · multi-market flow
The Measurement
AVS Report 1 — 12,800+ data points across 2 markets

We collected thousands of data points across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, and Perplexity in the UK (en-GB) and Germany (de-DE) over a 7-day measurement window. tailored prompt sets per market, native-language queries in German. Every response scored across 12 AVS pillars per market, then combined into a composite score.

65
United Kingdom · Cited tier
198 mentions. Third-most-cited UK department store behind John Lewis (342) and M&S (318). Strong brand recognition translating into consistent AI visibility.
48
Germany · Emerging tier
47 mentions. Floor rule applied (Direct Mentions <10 per prompt subset caps composite). German AI describes BigShop as "a British retailer" — not one that operates in Germany.
62
Combined AVS (out of 100) · Cited tier
The combined score weights UK and Germany into a single composite: AI Visibility 58 (40%) + Source Quality 55 (30%) + Narrative Fit 74 (30%) = 62/100. BigShop is firmly Cited — AI knows it, generally recommends it, and frames it positively. The Germany gap (65 vs 48) is the single biggest strategic opportunity.
Key Finding
A localisation gap, not a quality gap

The UK-Germany gap is not about product quality — BigShop's stores and service are comparable in both markets. The audit proved it's a content and localisation deficit. BigShop.de redirects to a translated product catalog but has no brand story content in German. German AI responses cite the English brand pages poorly. In the UK, Guardian and Telegraph features drive Cited status. In Germany, Stern, Spiegel, and Chip.de — the top German citation sources — have zero BigShop presence.

The Recommendations
Top 12 actions — UK, Germany, and cross-market

The full report contains 12 recommendations with market tags showing which apply to UK, Germany, or both. Top three:

01
Create German-language brand content on bigshop.de — About, Sustainability, Heritage pages in German. Currently BigShop.de has no brand story — only translated product pages. [K&C Content] Indicative: Bespoke
02
Pitch The Guardian, Telegraph, and Vogue UK features — BigShop appears in 4 of 12 major UK roundups — John Lewis appears in 11. Closing this gap directly lifts AI citation. [K&C PR Connect] Estimate: bespoke
03
Build a /heritage page with structured data — 70-year brand story as entity authority. John Lewis's partnership heritage page is cited in 23% of responses. [K&C Content] Indicative: bespoke

Plus 9 more recommendations covering YouTube, schema markup, original research, German press outreach, sustainability content, and food hall strategy.

BigShop — AVS Report 1
AVS 62/100 · Cited · UK 65 + DE 48 · multi-market analysis · per-market competitor tables · Top 12 recommendations

What this example shows

BigShop demonstrates the multi-market format — the multi-market flow that runs separate query sets in each market with native-language prompts. The report shows a combined composite score with per-market breakdowns, separate UK and Germany competitor tables, market-tagged recommendations, and transparent scoring that shows exactly where the UK-Germany gap exists. Quarterly cadence means four measurements per year — Report 2 (in 3 months) will add progress tracking. Focus. Measure. Plan. Deliver. Repeat.
