Search visibility against AI presence
Section titled “Search visibility against AI presence”horizontal: search visibility → vertical: AI presence ↑
Savills Bath is the widest split: AI engines name it far more readily than search surfaces it (AI 100, visibility 38) — brand without search. Those are different problems behind a similar overall score.

Which bath estate agent has the best website?
Section titled “Which bath estate agent has the best website?”Zest Sales & Lettings tops the Q3-2026 index with a Digital Visibility Score of 82/100. Each firm has a full diagnostic scorecard linked from the table above.
How this is measured
Section titled “How this is measured”Every score follows the same six-pillar methodology: Speed & Core Web Vitals (20%), Technical foundation (20%), Local presence (20%), Visibility (15%), AI search presence (15%) and Content & trust (10%). Each pillar links to the knowledge-base article that explains what it measures; the statistical methods behind the scoring are written up separately. Download the full dataset: JSON · CSV.
Who publishes this
Section titled “Who publishes this”The index is compiled and published by PYC, a search consultancy run by Phil Yarrow. It exists because the questions it answers — who is actually visible in a local market, and by how much — were being answered with opinion. The collection and scoring code is open source, so any figure here can be recomputed rather than taken on trust.
