OutsourcingVN: 0 of 37 Unbranded Buyer Questions Named It
By the Leadee team at Netbase JSC · Updated
OutsourcingVN, a Netbase JSC site, was named in 8% of all US buyer questions (4 of 49 runs) and in 0% of unbranded questions (0 of 37) — buyers who did not already know the name. AI engines recommended Rikkeisoft, Designveloper and Savvycom instead, citing clutch.co, designveloper.com and themona.global. Singapore was 0 of 22. This is a baseline; Netbase has not yet shipped the fix plan below.
About this measurement
Netbase JSC owns OutsourcingVN. This page is Netbase measuring its own site with its own product, not an independent audit.
This is a baseline measurement, not a result. Netbase JSC's own sites have not shipped the fix plan below yet — the earliest honest re-measurement is about four weeks after each site does, using the same prompts and engines. Nothing on this page claims an improvement.

What AI actually said
Google AI Mode (DataForSEO) — prompt: “is Outsourcing VN (outsourcingvn.com) a reliable outsourcing partner”
OutsourcingVN (operated by Netbase JSC) is a legitimate and generally reliable software outsourcing vendor with over a decade of operating history, though clients note occasional communication and documentation…
Perplexity sonar — prompt: “is Outsourcing VN (outsourcingvn.com) a reliable outsourcing partner”
Short answer: Outsourcing VN looks like a plausible vendor to evaluate, but the available evidence isn't enough to call it independently verified or recommend hiring it without due diligence. The site says it is Netbase…
What we will change
Cut TTFB below 800ms
1 weekServer response is 2.5 seconds — the slowest of the 7 sites measured. AI crawlers skip slow pages; add caching and a CDN.
Rewrite the outsourcing-cost page
2 weeksOpen /vietnam-software-outsourcing-cost with a pricing table by role and hourly rate, sourced and dated — the "Vietnam vs India vs Philippines" prompt currently cites DesignRush and SecondTalent instead.
Get listed on Clutch, DesignRush, GoodFirms
nowAI engines build their outsourcing shortlist from these directories, not from outsourcingvn.com directly.
Publish honest comparison pages
next"Designveloper alternatives for software outsourcing" and "Enlab vs Savvycom vs Rikkeisoft vs OutsourcingVN" — both prompts currently return competitors only.
Use the full name "OutsourcingVN", not "OVN"
nextThe short acronym "OVN" collides with unrelated meanings in AI answers; use the full name consistently in title, H1 and schema.
Build a Singapore-specific page
nextSingapore buyer questions were 0 of 22 — add a page covering time zone, contracts and relevant case examples.
Fix llms.txt formatting and missing update dates
later4 of 15 content pages have no visible update date; llms.txt has malformed link lines.
Questions
Why does Netbase publish a case study where its own site scores 0 on unbranded questions?
Because the honesty rule applies to Netbase's own sites too (spec seo-geo-cluster-plan.md §0): no invented numbers, and a real customer's results should look like this — a real baseline, not a polished example.
Is this an independent audit of OutsourcingVN?
No. Netbase JSC owns OutsourcingVN, and this measurement was run by Netbase using its own Leadee product. See "Conflict of interest" above.
When will OutsourcingVN be re-measured?
About four weeks after OutsourcingVN ships the fix plan above, using the same 12 prompts (8 US, 4 Singapore) and the same engines, so the before/after comparison is statistically meaningful.
Can GEO guarantee results?
No. AI answer engines change their output frequently, and no vendor — including Leadee — can guarantee a ranking or a mention. Leadee publishes confidence intervals on every metric so you can see how much a result can vary run to run.
How does Leadee measure AI visibility?
Leadee runs your prompt set against each AI engine on a weekly to daily schedule, depending on plan, through official vendor APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Perplexity, Anthropic, DataForSEO) — never by scraping consumer chat interfaces — and reports mention rate, citation rate, average position, share of voice and sentiment with a 95% confidence interval.
