The gap isn't awareness — it's sentiment and surface area

Your site is already cited in 33% of answers (gemymaalouf.com), and Wikipedia covers 32%. But your sentiment score (64) is the lowest among the top 5 competitors. This single metric is what's holding you at position 4.2 while Elie Saab sits at 3.0. Fix sentiment + expand your citation surface, and the visibility follows.

Competition

You're #2 in visibility. But Elie Saab is pulling away.

We track high-intent commercial prompts across ChatGPT, AI Mode, Gemini, and Perplexity. Here's the landscape.

Brand	Visibility	Sentiment	Position	Reddit
Elie Saab	43%	75	3.0	Present
Gemy Maalouf	26%	64	4.2	3-4 threads
Oscar de la Renta	24%	78	4.3	Present
Zuhair Murad	21%	80	3.9	Present
Carolina Herrera	15%	81	6.0	Present

Key Takeaway

Elie Saab went from 27% to 43% — entirely by improving sentiment. Your visibility is strong at #2, but your sentiment (64) is the lowest among the top 5. Close that gap and you close the visibility gap.

The Opportunity

Close three gaps. Overtake Elie Saab.

1

Sentiment Is Holding You Back

Your sentiment score (64) is the lowest in the top 5. Higher sentiment directly pushes your position up in AI recommendations.

Elie Saab: 75, Zuhair Murad: 80, Carolina Herrera: 81
Wikipedia page (in progress) could add 10-15% visibility
Positive editorial coverage + community mentions boost sentiment
Higher sentiment = ChatGPT recommends you first

Fastest lever — sentiment drives position

2

Reddit & Community Gaps

Reddit is the #1 citation source (48% of all answers). You're on only 3-4 of the top 50 threads.

Reddit influences 48% of all AI-generated answers
YouTube: 31%, Wikipedia: 32%
You're present on 3-4 of 50 tracked threads
Competitors are present across most threads

Biggest surface area gap — fastest ROI

3

Missing From Listicles

Third-party listicles are heavily cited by AI. You're absent from key fashion roundups.

"7 great Lebanese fashion designers" — not present
"47 best mother-of-bride dresses" — not present
Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad dominate these listicles
Each placement = compounding AI citation lift

Third-party credibility — AI trusts listicles
