AI Visibility Audit for food delivery · AI Discovery Intelligence

AI Visibility for Food Delivery: when someone asks AI where to order, is your platform the answer?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity the best delivery app in their city, whether you deliver to their area, or who is cheapest, the engine names a platform. You cannot see if it is you or a competitor, and that choice is already moving installs and orders and pushing up your acquisition cost.

28 Labs measures your share of AI recommendations for the queries that drive orders, ties it to your traffic and order economics, and hands your teams the moves to win it back.

4 engines · intent-scored query universe · every read confidence-tagged

Measured from the outside. No SDK in your rendering path. We do not measure training-data exposure - and we say so.

The queries that move orders

scored

"best food delivery app in {city}" High intent
"does {app} deliver to {area}" High intent
"cheapest delivery fees in {city}" High intent
"how does food delivery work" Low value

A delivery platform has tens of thousands of meaningful consumer and merchant queries. We score each by intent and track the set that drives orders and merchant sign-ups.

The shift

An AI engine is choosing where your customer orders. You cannot see the choice, but you are already paying for it.

01

You are blind to it

When someone asks an engine where to order, it names a platform off your property - you do not know if it was you or a competitor.

02

It is already costing you

The demand the engines used to send you now lands on whoever they recommend; to hold orders flat you rebuy it as paid installs and promos.

03

We make it visible

We measure your share of AI recommendations across the high-intent order queries on all four engines, then tie it to traffic and order economics.

The board-level risk

Four ways an answer engine re-competes for a delivery platform at once.

A delivery platform's moat is being the place consumers and merchants go to discover, compare, and transact. Answer engines now sit in front of all three. The exposure is specific, and it is measurable.

Consumer discovery moves to chat

"Best delivery app in {city}" gets composed off-platform, so the hungry user who used to open your app opens a chat window.

Coverage and merchant capture

"Does {app} deliver to {area}" and merchant-side "best app to list my restaurant" get answered from whoever the engine trusts.

Fee and speed comparison leaks

The cheapest-fees and fastest-delivery questions - the ones that decide the order - get answered with a competitor named.

Reliability and reputation leakage

"Most reliable delivery service" gets decided by reviews the engine leans on.

Every figure we put against these is anonymised and confidence-tagged. We show the pattern and the magnitude; we never expose another delivery platform's numbers to make the point.

The query universe

Not five queries per order. Tens of thousands - scored by what they are worth.

A delivery platform's customers do not ask four questions. They ask thousands, across a journey. The work is not to track 50,000 random queries. It is to score every query by commercial intent and monitor the high-intent ones that actually drive orders, mapped to where the customer is in the decision.

Comparison, coverage, and pricing queries carry the orders; explainer queries carry almost none. We weight what you track to where the money is - so the share number you read is the one that matters to the business, not a vanity average across the long tail.

The decision system

Your share of AI recommendations - and what it is doing to your traffic and order economics.

Most tools stop at "you were cited less." That is a metric, not a decision. We frame it as market share - the share of high-intent recommendations you hold against the competitor taking them - and we connect that share to the numbers your business already runs on.

How we keep it honest

We model the contribution. We never fake the precision.

No one can prove a single AI recommendation caused a single lead. Anyone who claims they can is selling certainty that does not exist. We treat it the way marketing-mix modeling treats a channel: we estimate the contribution from converging signals and we label the confidence of every read, so your analysts can audit any claim back to the evidence behind it.

When a read is directly observed in your own data, we say so. When it is inferred, we say so. When it rests on industry intelligence, we say that too. You never get a confident-sounding number with nothing under it.

HIGH

Directly observed. The signal is present in your own logs, CDP, or AI-engine output. We saw it happen.

MED

Inferred. Multiple independent signals converge on the same read, but no single source confirms it outright.

LOW

Industry intelligence. The read rests on category benchmarks and external patterns, not your own data. Treated as directional.

In your stack

Infrastructure, not a quarterly slide.

This is not a deck that ages the day it ships. It is a live read wired into the systems you already run, so the share number and its business impact stay current as the engines re-crawl and your competitors move.

Wired in, not bolted on

The integrated engagement connects to your logs, CDP, and paid feeds, so the AI-share read sits next to the traffic and order data your teams already trust. No SDK in your rendering path.

Real-time flags plus monthly

You get a flag when your share on a high-intent query set moves sharply or a competitor surges, and a monthly read that tracks the trend and ties it to traffic and order economics. Not once a quarter, on a slide.

Every read confidence-tagged

HIGH, MED, or LOW on every finding, so the team acting on it knows exactly how much weight it carries before committing engineering or budget against it.

Honest about the tiers. The live read on how much of your traffic and order economics is AI needs your first-party data - your logs, CDP, and paid feeds. That is the integrated, enterprise engagement, not a free snapshot. A standalone audit measures your share of AI recommendations across the four engines from the outside and shows where you are losing ground and to whom. The traffic-and-order-economics loop comes when we wire into your systems.

What winning takes

Winning AI recommendations in food delivery is a data-distribution problem, not a content one.

A delivery platform wins when it becomes the source the engines trust to answer the category. That is structural. More blog posts will not do it. Being the authoritative, reachable source for the data customers actually ask about will.

We diagnose where the engines already trust you, where they trust a competitor instead, and the specific moves that shift that trust toward you. The output is a build plan your teams can act on, not a list of keywords.
