Netbase JSC: Invisible to Buyers Who Haven't Heard the Name
By the Leadee team at Netbase JSC · Updated
AI only mentions Netbase JSC when a question already names it. Across 42 unbranded buyer questions ("best Vietnam software outsourcing company…", "who builds web-to-print platforms…") Netbase JSC appeared 0 times (95% CI 0–8.4%). The three names AI recommends most are FPT Software, Rikkeisoft and Saigon Technology, built mostly from clutch.co — the single most-cited source (59 citations), ahead of netbasejsc.com itself (49, all on questions that already named Netbase). The site's own technical GEO is strong (grade A, 95.5): the gap is off-site coverage and direct answers, not crawlability. This is a baseline; Netbase has not yet shipped the fix plan below.
About this measurement
Netbase JSC owns the site measured on this page. This page is Netbase measuring itself 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.
- Perplexity sonar: n=3 per prompt, full sample
- Google AI Mode (via DataForSEO): n=3 per prompt, full sample
- OpenAI gpt-5 + web search: only 7 runs reached Netbase JSC — the whole dogfood round stopped at 25 runs across all 7 sites because the OpenAI account ran out of credit

Questions
Why does AI only mention Netbase JSC when a question already names it?
The AI answers for unbranded questions are built mostly from clutch.co, not netbasejsc.com — and Netbase JSC's profile there is thinner than its named competitors'. Direct citability on its own service pages is also low (0.25–0.27), which makes it harder for an AI engine to quote Netbase JSC's own answer instead of a third-party directory.
Is this an independent audit of Netbase JSC?
No. This measurement was run by Netbase JSC using its own product, Leadee. See "Conflict of interest" above.
When will Netbase JSC be re-measured?
About four weeks after Netbase JSC ships the fix plan above, using the same 12 prompts (8 US, 4 UK) 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.
