01
Format
A quarterly report, not a single number
The State of Presence reads the aggregate, anonymised data from the Index across every brand CLEO measures, and reports how presence is moving: which signals are rising, which surfaces are compounding fastest, and where the gap between Presence Recognition and Presence Readiness is widest. It sits beside CLEO Presence Leaderboard as the second of CLEO's category assets.

Date

What it draws on
Every figure in the report traces to aggregate readings from the Index, measured with the same rigour published at the methodology page: the 1/0.5/0 AI Recommendation rule (recommended scores 1, named without recommending scores 0.5, omitted or named negatively scores 0), and press releases earn nothing on their own. Every reading carries its own confidence interval, and no individual brand's data is published without its consent.
