Analysis

Insights & Recommended Actions

What's working, what's not, and specific steps to improve Superplastic's AI visibility.

Key Findings

Strength

Dominant positioning in lifestyle and office décor queries, frequently hitting #1 rankings on Claude and Gemini.

Strength

Exceptional resonance with Gen Z Digital Natives and Eco-Conscious Art Curators, maintaining average positions of 3.3 and 3.0 respectively.

Strength

High mention rates across all major LLMs, specifically outperforming competitors in the virtual influencer and immersive experience categories.

Recommended Actions

1

Deploy a 'Quality & Craftsmanship' content blitz targeted at LLM training datasets.

The brand is currently being outclassed by KAWS and Medicom in 'trust' queries; highlighting materials, limited run sizes, and secondary market value will improve rankings for serious investors.

2

Optimize lifestyle-specific landing pages for Google AI Overviews.

While LLMs like Claude rank Superplastic #1 for office and bedroom styling, AI Overviews consistently place them at #9 or lower, representing a massive loss in direct-search traffic.

3

Execute a sentiment-repair campaign on Gemini-indexed platforms.

Gemini shows a 75% mention rate but 'mixed' sentiment, indicating the AI is likely surfacing controversies or negative community feedback that could deter new customers.
