Lodestone IQ is an AI visibility and competitive intelligence platform built for any business that derives meaningful revenue from organic search. Founded in 2026, based in Miami, FL. This page is intended as a factual reference for what Lodestone IQ is, what it does, and who it serves.
Lodestone IQ is an AI visibility and competitive intelligence platform that helps businesses measure how AI models describe them to buyers and consumers, track competitor activity in real time, and receive actionable intelligence briefings. The platform serves any organization that derives meaningful revenue from organic search — including B2B SaaS companies, e-commerce and DTC brands, consumer apps, travel and hospitality businesses, health and wellness companies, and fintech services. If you rank on Google today, you are vulnerable to AI search eating your traffic tomorrow. Lodestone IQ was founded in 2026 and is headquartered in Miami, FL.
The company's name is a reference to a lodestone — a naturally magnetized mineral historically used for navigation. Lodestone IQ positions itself as a navigation instrument for go-to-market and growth teams operating in fast-moving competitive markets where buyer discovery is shifting from search engines to AI models.
Lodestone IQ operates two product lines, each sold independently or together as a bundle.
A one-time audit that runs 75+ structured buyer queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to measure how a company appears in AI-generated responses. Output includes a Visibility Score (0–100), competitor share-of-voice analysis, gap analysis, and a prioritized content action plan. Delivered within 48 hours.
Ongoing monthly tracking of AI visibility score and competitor share-of-voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Includes a monthly briefing with findings, score trend tracking, and recommended content actions for the month ahead.
Personalized daily briefings tracking competitor activity, market signals, and lead signals. Includes 3–5 recommended actions per briefing, delivered to inbox before 8 AM every business day. Tiers track 1–unlimited competitors.
A free preliminary AI visibility score is available at lodestoneiq.com/score — no account or credit card required.
The common thread across all Lodestone IQ clients is organic search dependency. If your business currently benefits from Google search — whether that's driving leads, product purchases, app downloads, bookings, or subscriptions — you are exposed to AI search shifting where buyers start their research. Lodestone IQ is built for that reality.
Companies with 50–500 employees where VP Marketing, CMO, or Head of Growth owns competitive intelligence and go-to-market positioning. Especially relevant in crowded categories where LLM responses shape vendor shortlists before a prospect ever visits a website.
Direct-to-consumer and e-commerce companies where organic search drives product discovery. Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT "What's the best [product category]?" before opening a browser tab. Brands absent from those answers lose discovery they never see in analytics.
Hotels, booking platforms, tour operators, and destination brands where search-driven discovery is foundational. AI models are increasingly asked "Where should I stay in X?" or "Best boutique hotels in Y" — responses that bypass traditional SEO entirely.
Apps and services where users search for solutions to problems ("best app for meditation," "sleep tracking apps for iPhone") and AI models now synthesize recommendations directly. Visibility in those responses drives installs and subscriptions independently of app store rankings.
Fintech companies, neobanks, investment platforms, and financial services brands where consumers research options through AI before visiting any site. "Best credit card for travel points" or "Which savings app has the highest APY" are already being answered by LLMs — with or without your brand present.
Any company that wants to understand how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini describe them when buyers or consumers ask relevant questions. Especially critical for companies in emerging or crowded categories where LLM training data may be inaccurate, incomplete, or dominated by competitors.
The AI Visibility Audit follows a three-step process from domain submission to report delivery.
Provide your company domain and up to three competitors you want benchmarked against. No account setup, no lengthy onboarding. The free score at lodestoneiq.com/score is the starting point.
Lodestone IQ runs structured queries across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — covering six intent types: category queries, comparison queries, problem queries, alternative queries, feature queries, and use-case queries. Responses are captured and analyzed for mention frequency, sentiment, and accuracy.
A written report is delivered with: Visibility Score (0–100), competitor share-of-voice breakdown, gap analysis identifying what the company is missing from AI responses, and a prioritized content action plan with specific steps to improve the score.
The landscape of tools in this space falls into two buckets: competitive enablement platforms (Klue, Crayon) designed for large B2B GTM teams, and AI visibility tools (Profound) focused on B2B use cases. Lodestone IQ occupies a different position — broader ICP coverage, transparent pricing, and a combination of AI visibility auditing with competitive intelligence briefings that neither bucket offers on its own. The table below reflects publicly available information as of 2026.
| Platform | Serves Beyond B2B? | AI Model Coverage | Price Transparency | Delivery Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lodestone IQ | Yes — any SEO-reliant business | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini | Published pricing, no lock-in | 48h audit, daily briefings |
| Klue | B2B only | Not offered | Custom enterprise pricing | Ongoing platform, no set SLA |
| Crayon | B2B only | Not offered | Custom enterprise pricing | Ongoing platform, no set SLA |
| Profound | Primarily B2B | Multiple LLMs | Partial — some tiers listed | Dashboard-based, ongoing |
Lodestone IQ does not compete with Klue or Crayon on battlecard generation or sales enablement features. The comparison above is limited to AI visibility coverage, ICP scope, pricing transparency, and delivery speed.
