What the numbers say

Xero scores 70.0 out of 100 on the Fameproof index, ranking 22 of 186 companies measured in the run of 21 October 2026. The index is the mean of the per-model scores below.

Visibility is uneven across models: ChatGPT scores it 81.0 while Gemini scores it 56.0, a gap of 25.0 points. A brand that is strong on one model and weak on another has a different problem from one that is mid-table everywhere.

ChatGPT names Xero in 91% of answers and places it early enough to score 57% on prominence; Gemini names it in 57%.

Every prompt in the 24-question panel produced a mention on at least one model — an unusually complete result.

Measured inside accounting software rather than the wide software for small businesses pool, Xero scores 95.3 — the fairer question for a buyer already shopping that market, though it cannot be compared across markets.
