Public Lab 02 · Gemini visibility
Gemini mentioned Growthract in 2 of 3 prompts.Both mentions described the wrong business.
On August 22, 2026, we ran Growthract's own automated diagnostic against growthract.com and captured its live point-in-time Gemini visibility test.
If we measured only mention rate, the headline would be positive: Growthract appeared in two of three test prompts.
Reading the answers changed the conclusion. Both responses that mentioned Growthract materially mischaracterized what the company actually does.

The central finding
Test setup
One site. Three fixed questions. One point-in-time Gemini test.
Exact displayed text was captured directly from the rendered results page DOM. Automated screenshot capture rendered the scrolled results section as blank/black in this session, so screenshots are not presented as primary evidence.

Accuracy check
What Growthract actually publishes today.
The two Gemini snippets can be checked against Growthract's current public product and pricing pages rather than evaluated against a hidden internal description.
Search Operator
A free website diagnostic for AI-search readability, readiness and point-in-time Gemini visibility.
Growthract
Human, fixed-scope AI-search implementation and consulting — not automated cold-email or lead-generation software.
Commercial model
A free diagnostic plus scoped implementation services, rather than the subscription lead-generation model described in the Gemini snippet.
Measurement lesson
A 67% mention rate would have hidden the actual problem.
Two mentions across three prompts can be expressed as a 66.7% point-in-time mention rate.
But both mention-containing snippets described a substantially different company. The useful diagnosis therefore is not simply “Growthract was visible.”
The more precise conclusion is that Gemini showed partial brand recognition while the visible answer context contained major entity and positioning inaccuracies.
Mention
Did the tested answer contain the brand or domain?
Accuracy
Did the answer describe the company, offer and business model correctly?
Citation
Did the tested result display supporting source evidence?
Displayed sources
No sources were displayed for any of the three responses.
The Growthract results interface showed zero source or citation entries across all three prompts in this run.
Evidence boundary
Response limitation
These are exact snippets, not complete Gemini answers.
Each displayed Gemini response is a 280-character snippet. The product UI did not expose a complete underlying response or a show-more control during this run.
All three captured snippets are exactly 280 characters long and end mid-response. We have therefore reproduced them exactly as displayed rather than silently completing or rewriting them.
Any claim about content beyond those 280 displayed characters would exceed the evidence available from this run.
Supplementary evidence
The same scan passed 4 of 5 AI-readiness hard checks.
The one reported failure was:
Product/pricing pages missing Product, Offer or Service schema.
This technical result and the Gemini responses measure different layers. Passing technical readiness checks does not guarantee that a generated answer will describe a company accurately.
What this Lab does not prove
One run is a snapshot, not a permanent visibility score.
Raw evidence
The captured benchmark is also published as structured data.
The JSON file contains the test configuration, exact displayed questions, exact 280-character snippets, mention flags, source counts, capture method and limitations used in this Lab.

Fix the entity signals, then repeat the exact benchmark.
The useful follow-up is not to celebrate the two mentions. It is to improve the public information environment, address the remaining structured-data gap and rerun the same questions later to see whether the description becomes more accurate.
