[**Book a 30-min strategy call→**](https://meetings.hubspot.com/ntower/ai-visibility-leaderboard-meeting) **Why This Matters** ## The supply chain management consideration set has changed. **AI is now a go-to source for B2B food logistics research.** When a supply chain director or operations manager needs a new cold chain 3PL partner for their food brand, there's a growing chance their first question goes to an AI assistant—not Google, not a broker referral. In that context, third party logistics refers to a provider that handles multiple supply chain functions for businesses. It also supports all sales channels, including ecommerce. The 3PLs that appear in those responses enter the buyer's consideration set **before a single facility tour, compliance review, or rate negotiation happens.** Presence in AI is the new first‑page ranking. Most cold chain 3PL marketing teams don't know where they stand. This leaderboard changes that, providing a daily pulse on your AI visibility versus the [competition](https://www.perrill.com/what-are-my-competitors-doing-better/) and how that fits your business model. **And if you're not on it, that's the data point—especially for e-commerce and retail brands that outsource logistics so internal teams can focus on core products and core competencies.** ### What the artificial intelligence data tells us **4.4×** [**AI search**](https://www.perrill.com/a-marketers-guide-to-ai-powered-search/)** traffic converts at up to 4.4x the rate of traditional organic search.** By the time AI traffic reaches your site, they've already evaluated options and are ready to convert. **80%** **80% of consumers now rely on AI-generated summaries** for at least 40% of searches, making generative search engines a critical part of consideration. **60%** **60% of searches now end without a click.** AI answers provide more information within the result, making mentions and citations even more critical. **Benchmarks** ## **What "good" looks like.** **75 – 100** ### **Leaders** Cited in nearly every buyer-intent query. Default answer for the category. **50 – 74** ### **Contenders** Show up consistently for 2–3 engines. Have brand authority but coverage gaps. **25 – 49** ### **Challengers** Sporadic citations. Strong real-world brand, weak generative footprint. **0 – 24** ### **Invisible** Effectively absent from generative search. The expensive blind spot. **FAQ** ## **Your questions, answered.** **01How often is the leaderboard updated?** Daily. Our platform runs the full query bank against every tracked engine every 24 hours, then republishes the board. Trend arrows compare to the previous run. **02Why are some big-revenue brands ranked low?** Revenue does not guarantee search visibility, and buyers still compare providers on customer service, faster fulfillment, and delivery expectations like one-day or two-day shipping when evaluating fulfillment services. Choosing the right provider matters because outsourcing logistics can improve customer satisfaction, but a poor choice—or dependence on inconsistent service quality—can hurt customer satisfaction, affect service, and damage your business reputation. **03Can I add my brand to the board?** **04Where does the data come from?** The leaderboard reflects how providers appear when buyers research third-party logistics partners across real queries, not just brand size or offline reputation, which is why a proven track record offline may not match online visibility. **05What's the difference between Visibility Score and Avg.

No follow‑up pitch unless you ask for one. **fit**Best for brands with $50M+ revenue, an active business growth target, and teams evaluating market expansion, logistics risk, and cost reduction.
