Key Takeaways
- Landbot is mentioned in a modest share of benchmark answers, but recommendations lag behind the leading competitors.
- The current sample shows neutral framing and no negative mentions, so the main issue is endorsement rather than reputation repair.
- Monthly results vary, so changes in mentions and recommendations should be treated as separate observations, not a clear trend.
- Priority work centers on verifying claims, reviewing cited third-party pages, and building content around pricing and ManyChat alternative questions.
Answer Capsule
In November 2026, Landbot appeared in 16 of 253 AI answers included in the Chatbots benchmark (6.32%). It received 6 recommendations (2.37%), with 3 Top 3 placements and 2 first-place recommendations. A mention means the company appeared in an answer; a recommendation means the answer affirmatively endorsed it.
Our plan compares the company with its competitors, checks conflicting AI claims against reliable sources, and identifies website pages, third-party sources and buyer questions to address. The historical results show how the figures changed across available months. Different monthly samples limit those comparisons, and conflicting AI claims require verification before corrections are proposed.
Current AI visibility
Questions This Section Answers
- How do Landbot mentions, recommendations and placements compare with its Chatbots peers?
Landbot recorded 16 mentions (6.32%) and 6 recommendations (2.37%) across 253 answers included in the benchmark. Top 3 placements numbered 3; first-place recommendations numbered 2. Framing among its mentions was 6 positive, 10 neutral and 0 negative.
Rank | Company | Mentions | Mention rate | Recommendations | Recommendation rate | Top 3 | Top 3 rate | #1 | #1 rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 201 | 79.45% | 92 | 36.36% | 67 | 26.48% | 29 | 11.46% | |
2 | Tidio | 176 | 69.57% | 91 | 35.97% | 58 | 22.92% | 21 | 8.30% |
3 | Zendesk Chat | 152 | 60.08% | 70 | 27.67% | 46 | 18.18% | 19 | 7.51% |
4 | 76 | 30.04% | 27 | 10.67% | 13 | 5.14% | 1 | 0.40% | |
5 | LiveChat (Text S.A. (formerly LiveChat Software S.A.) | 105 | 41.50% | 26 | 10.28% | 18 | 7.11% | 11 | 4.35% |
6 | Ada | 48 | 18.97% | 21 | 8.30% | 12 | 4.74% | 4 | 1.58% |
6 | ManyChat | 73 | 28.85% | 21 | 8.30% | 15 | 5.93% | 10 | 3.95% |
8 | 29 | 11.46% | 10 | 3.95% | 4 | 1.58% | 3 | 1.19% | |
9 | 33 | 13.04% | 6 | 2.37% | 4 | 1.58% | 0 | 0.00% | |
9 | Landbot | 16 | 6.32% | 6 | 2.37% | 3 | 1.19% | 2 | 0.79% |
Landbot appears in a modest share of the benchmark answers and is recommended in fewer still, so its presence is real but thin relative to the leaders. The gap between mentions and recommendations matters more than the raw totals: being named is not the same as being endorsed, and the agency should treat those as separate goals.
Framing is largely neutral, with no negative mentions recorded. That gives the client room to work on endorsement rather than reputation repair. Proposed work would build a scorecard separating reach, shortlist placement and recommendation, so progress is judged on the right measure rather than on mentions alone.
What changed since last month
Questions This Section Answers
- How did Landbot counts and coverage differ across the available monthly snapshots?
Metric | Sep 2026 | Oct 2026 | Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
Mentions | 25 / 437 (5.72%) | 25 / 436 (5.73%) | 16 / 253 (6.32%) |
Recommendations | 15 / 437 (3.43%) | 18 / 436 (4.13%) | 6 / 253 (2.37%) |
Top 3 recommendations | 10 / 437 (2.29%) | 8 / 436 (1.83%) | 3 / 253 (1.19%) |
#1 recommendations | 1 / 437 (0.23%) | 1 / 436 (0.23%) | 2 / 253 (0.79%) |
Only months with verified results are shown. Monthly sample coverage is listed in Methodology.
From October 2026 to November 2026, Landbot's mention count fell from 25 to 16, while its recommendation count fell from 18 to 6. The recommendation rate was 4.13% and 2.37% respectively.
The recorded results moved between the selected months: mentions and recommendations both came in lower in the latest sample, and the recommendation rate also eased. The answer samples differ between months, so these figures are separate observations rather than a like-for-like trend, and the movement should not be read as a cause-and-effect story.
The useful takeaway is that recommendation counts are volatile at this scale. The agency would keep the monthly record intact, flag comparability limits beside it, and avoid drawing conclusions from a single month until several comparable samples accumulate.

Step 1. Measure
Questions This Section Answers
- What should the agency measure and verify first for Landbot?
AI answers contained 0 conflicting claims about Landbot: 0 critical, 0 high, 0 medium, 0 low. Of these, 0 were rated critical or high priority; the critical claims are included in that total. These ratings help prioritize fact-checking. They do not establish that a company or publisher made an error.
No conflicting claims about Landbot were recorded in the captured answers, so there is no immediate fact-check queue to clear. That is a clean starting position, but it is not proof that every statement about the company is accurate; it means nothing disputed surfaced in this sample.
Proposed work would set up a visibility comparison against the leading competitors and a short list of claims worth verifying against primary sources. This gives the client a defensible priority order instead of reacting to whichever answer happens to appear first.
Step 2. Make the website consistent
Questions This Section Answers
- Which recorded claim differences about Landbot should be verified before proposed page edits?
No results are available for this part of the analysis.
Both columns quote AI answers, not verified company facts. Resolve the entity, date and source before deciding whether a correction is warranted; different dates can explain an apparent conflict.
This part of the analysis returned no results, so there are no disputed topics to resolve and no page briefs to justify on consistency grounds. The agency should not manufacture corrections where the evidence is silent.
Proposed work would confirm the company entity and check current page contents before any brief is written. Where a claim later appears, the first step is to establish the date and source behind it, since differing dates can explain an apparent conflict without anyone being wrong.
Step 3. Align the external narrative
Questions This Section Answers
- Which cited third-party pages are relevant to fact review for Landbot?
Cited page selected for review | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Answers mentioning the company | Conflicting claims linked to this page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://kayako.com/tools/manychat-alternatives/ | 6 | 2 | 0 |
https://zapier.com/blog/best-customer-support-chat-apps/ | 64 | 1 | 0 |
https://chatbot.com/ | 17 | 1 | 0 |
https://getmacha.com/blog/ai-chatbot-platforms | 11 | 1 | 0 |
https://setsmart.io/blog/manychat-alternative | 8 | 1 | 0 |
https://sendpulse.com/blog/manychat-alternatives | 5 | 1 | 0 |
These pages were selected because they relate to the company in the captured answers. Their current contents still need checking before any correction request. A page linked to a conflicting claim is not necessarily its cause, and the same answer may contribute to more than one row.
The cited pages selected for review are mostly third-party comparison and alternatives articles, several of which discuss ManyChat rather than Landbot directly. Citation frequency varies widely across them, and none is linked to a conflicting claim in this sample. A citation does not show that a page influenced an answer.
Proposed work would review the current contents of the most relevant pages and prepare evidence-backed requests only where a genuine gap or error is confirmed. Publisher responses and no-change decisions would be logged separately from confirmed edits.
Step 4. Optimize priority company pages
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed Landbot website pages should receive review briefs?
Company website page | Citation appearances in all captured answers | Benchmark answers citing the page | Recommending answers citing the page |
|---|---|---|---|
https://landbot.io/ | 1 | 1 | 0 |
https://landbot.io/blog/landbot-pricing-plans | 1 | 1 | 1 |
https://landbot.io/blog/lead-generation-chatbot-tutorial | 1 | 1 | 0 |
https://landbot.io/blog/manychat-alternatives | 1 | 1 | 0 |
https://landbot.io/pricing | 1 | 1 | 1 |
https://landbot.io/pricing?tab=whatsapp | 1 | 1 | 1 |
https://landbot.io/solutions/chatbot-for-sales | 1 | 0 | 0 |
The company's website was cited 7 times across 7 distinct page addresses; the table shows 7 pages selected for review. Zeros in the answer columns mean no matching answers were recorded. A cited page is not automatically a page that accompanied a recommendation.
The company site was cited across a small set of distinct pages, with pricing and alternatives content among them. Several of those pages appear in answers that also recommend Landbot, which makes them sensible candidates for closer review, though a citation alone does not show the page drove the recommendation.
Proposed work would draft page briefs using approved company facts and the questions buyers actually ask, then check existing coverage before proposing anything new. Each brief would name an owner and an evidence requirement so edits stay grounded.
Step 5. Publish around buyer questions
Questions This Section Answers
- Which observed buyer questions support content briefs for Landbot?
Question observed in the research | Benchmark answers to this question | Company mentions | Company recommendations |
|---|---|---|---|
Is there a cheaper alternative to Manychat? | 4 | 2 | 2 |
Is Landbot free? | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Is there a better app than Manychat? | 4 | 1 | 1 |
Which platform is best for chatbots? | 3 | 1 | 1 |
ai chat bot for website | 1 | 1 | 1 |
How much does it cost to build a chatbot? | 1 | 1 | 0 |
How much does it cost to deploy a chatbot? | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Is there a cheaper version of ManyChat? | 5 | 1 | 0 |
These are recorded answer observations, not search volume, verified demand, or proof of missing website content.
The recorded questions cluster around cost and ManyChat alternatives, with a few broader questions about choosing a chatbot platform. These are answer observations, not search volume, so they indicate themes worth addressing rather than proven demand.
Proposed work would turn the strongest themes into buyer-question content briefs, checking first whether the site already covers them. Cost questions in particular deserve careful, approved figures rather than estimates, since pricing content is where inaccuracy does the most damage.
Our 90-day action plan
Questions This Section Answers
- How should the agency sequence the proposed Landbot work and judge completion?
Period | Deliverable | Completion criterion |
|---|---|---|
Days 1–30 | Baseline scorecard, scoped fact-review register and page/source shortlist | Each record has an owner, evidence requirement and review status |
Days 31–60 | Approved page briefs and justified publisher requests | Separate confirmed edits, no-change decisions, requests and responses |
Days 61–90 | Buyer-content briefs and a fresh scorecard | Record work completed separately from measured answer outcomes and comparability limits |
The first month establishes the baseline scorecard, a scoped fact-review register and a shortlist of pages and sources, each with an owner and review status. The second month produces approved page briefs and justified publisher requests, with confirmed edits, no-change decisions and responses recorded separately.
The third month delivers buyer-content briefs and a fresh scorecard. Completed work would be reported separately from measured answer outcomes, and no visibility gain would be promised, since the samples and external sources are outside the agency's control.
Methodology
Questions This Section Answers
- How are Landbot answer metrics and citation populations defined?
This report covers 2026-11. The exact dates when the original AI answers were collected have not been verified. The visibility rates use 253 answers that met the benchmark's inclusion rules. A company is recommended only when the answer both endorses it and uses positive wording. Top 3 and first-place counts are part of those recommendations, not extra recommendations.
An answer can mention or recommend several companies, so company counts cannot be added to find the number of distinct answers. The net sentiment score is positive minus negative mentions, divided by all company mentions; it describes answer wording, not customer satisfaction.
The wider citation analysis covers 800 captured answers and 4946 appearances of cited URLs. Citation appearances across all captured answers differ from the number of benchmark answers citing a page and the number that also recommend a company. The current contents of cited pages and disputed company claims still need independent verification.
Monthly sample coverage:
Reporting month | Answers included | AI services covered | Services |
|---|---|---|---|
Sep 2026 | 437 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Oct 2026 | 436 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
Nov 2026 | 253 | 6 | ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity |
July 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison. August 2026 measured a different set of companies, so it is excluded from this comparison.
The answer samples differ between months. These comparisons show how the recorded results changed; they do not establish why they changed.
The report covers a single month, and the exact dates the original answers were collected are unverified. Recommendation requires both an endorsement and positive wording, and shortlist and first-place counts sit inside recommendations rather than adding to them. Answers can name several companies, so company counts do not sum to distinct answers.
Monthly samples differ in size and composition, so comparisons show what was recorded, not why it changed. Cited pages and any disputed claims still need independent verification before action.
Our first three priorities
First, build the baseline scorecard and fact-review register so reach, placement and recommendation are tracked separately and every record has an owner. Second, review the cited third-party comparison pages and the company's own pricing and alternatives pages against current primary sources before any request or edit is proposed.
Third, turn the cost and alternatives questions into buyer-content briefs, checking existing coverage first. Each step depends on verified facts, and none should be presented as a guaranteed route to higher visibility.
