Trelliswork AI Visibility Benchmark · ChatGPTChatGPT names PCAN.cloud in 15 of 60 buyer answers.
When ChatGPT searches, it puts PCAN.cloud first for AWS alliance communities, partnership assessments and women in cloud partnerships. From memory, it has never heard of you, and it sends training, fractional and pricing questions to Partnernomics, Fractivo, ZoKorp and others.

01 / Brand baseline
ChatGPT can find you. It can't remember you yet.
With search off, the answer shows what the model already believes. With search on, it shows what it can find. From memory, ChatGPT has never heard of PCAN.cloud. With search, it reads your site and gets the facts right, but it leans on your own pages and a single testimonial.
What does ChatGPT think you are?
Asked: “Who is PCAN.cloud?”
Search on
Finds the right organization
Reads pcan.cloud and LinkedIn. Gets the nonprofit status, the February 2025 launch, 700 members, the three co-founders, Master PAL, AWS Innovator Hour and SHE:can. LEAPS never comes up.

What is it like to work with you?
Asked: “What is it like to work with PCAN.cloud?”
Search off
Has nothing to go on
All three runs give a generic checklist and ask whether you mean an employer, a vendor or a partner.
0 of 3 runs describe the member experience
Search on
Finds you, with caveats
All three describe a collaborative peer community and quote the BMC Software testimonial, flagged as self-published. Each notes there are few independent reviews and that the organization is young.

02 / How the benchmark works
We asked the way a buyer asks, then counted who got named.
Ask like a buyer
10 questions written from the buyer's side, with a real constraint in each. PCAN.cloud's name never appears in them.
Two modes
Each question ran with web search off, from memory, and on, where ChatGPT reads the web first.
Three fresh runs
Every question ran three times in a clean temporary chat on a paid test account with memory off, so one lucky answer can't skew it.
Count who's named
We pulled every company each answer recommends, in order, and tallied them across all runs.
10 + 2 questions×2 modes×3 runs=72 answers
Visibility
Share of the 60 buyer answers that name you.
Consistency
How many of the 3 runs name you for the same question.
Recognition
Whether the brand questions describe you correctly.

04 / Who ChatGPT recommends
ChatGPT remembers your rivals. It finds you only when it searches.
Cloud Software Association and Partnership Leaders get named with search on or off. PCAN.cloud appears only with search, and then it comes first, on 5 of 10 questions. The nearest miss is Q03: a new AWS alliance lead asking for training or a certification is exactly what Master PAL offers, and ChatGPT named you in 0 of 6 answers, even after it read your Academy page.

Footprint vs. answers
A bigger footprint gets you remembered, but search can still put you first. PCAN.cloud has the lowest score in the set and gets named as often as Partnership Leaders, all from search.
The outlier
Cloud People scores 36 and gets named in 9 answers.
It has 12 blog posts, 1.3K LinkedIn followers and a Domain Rating of 3. Its site says in plain words that it is a community of cloud alliance leaders across hundreds of ISVs, so ChatGPT finds it with search for the same questions you win: communities, alternatives and women in partnerships. Like PCAN.cloud, it never comes up from memory.

- Domain Rating, referring domains, organic visits and ranking keywords from Ahrefs, November 10, 2026, all locations. Posts and case studies counted from each site's XML sitemaps on November 10, English pages only. LinkedIn followers as shown on each company page.
- Cloud Software Association links to no LinkedIn page from its site, so its score averages the other five signals. Most of its 461 posts date from 2015 to 2023.
- Pavilion is a broad go-to-market community and Tackle is an AWS Marketplace software company, so their links and traffic cover much more than alliance leadership. Partnership Leaders now describes itself as an advisory firm for partnerships.
- Cloud Software Association is the competitor we picked for this benchmark. The others are groups ChatGPT names often for your buyer questions. Our other two picks, Grnmrk Group and ISV Boost, were never named.
