How to read these numbers. Every score here runs from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best we can measure and 0 the worst. They describe what we could see on the pages we fetched, on the date shown. They are not a promise about where Mary Kay® will appear in Google or in any assistant — those are other companies' systems and nobody controls them. Two scores here can disagree without either being wrong: one looks at these pages, the other at how the whole site stands in search. And any visibility figure we sample moves up and down between measurements, so read it across several samples rather than one.

Read this aloud

Ask who gets named before you read the scores. A high on-page number only means the pages are ready to be quoted.

Buyer prompts
Asked the models

Sightline read the pages on your server. Google finding and ranking a page is search presence. Ask the buyer prompts before assuming an assistant names this brand.

The definition and the comparison use the brand name. The other questions use the service a customer would ask for, plus any question headings on the page. That is how we know what to ask — not by guessing keywords.

On-page setup, AEO and GEO measure how the pages are built. A high number there means the pages are ready to be quoted — not that Google, ChatGPT or Perplexity name this brand today. Only search presence is measured off the site, from Google keyword and link data.

What the page scan found
Mary Kay® was read by Sightline on marykay.com. Its search presence score is 40 out of 100, measured from Google keyword and link data. The on-page setup score averages what we could read on the pages themselves and does not include search presence, so a high on-page number sits happily beside a low search one. None of these scores say whether an assistant already names this brand. 16 of 18 checks were measured; 2 did not come back and carry no weight in any score.
Not measured this scan

These readings did not come back. That is a gap in our measurement, not something found on the site, so they count neither for nor against any score.

Make this a monthly property

A one-off scan goes stale the next time a model refreshes. The service recrawls on a cadence, tracks score drift, and hands you a five-task sprint.

    Let assistants like ChatGPT read your site

    Right now Mary Kay®'s site turns away the automated readers that ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's answer features use to look things up. When someone asks one of them for a business, you are not among the sources it is allowed to see.

    Ask whoever manages your website to stop turning these readers away. It is a one-line change and it takes effect immediately.

    Mary Kay® becomes eligible to be named when a customer asks an assistant for a business.

    Describe your business so machines can read it

    Nothing on Mary Kay®'s site states in machine-readable terms that you are a business, where you work, or how to reach you. Assistants are left to guess from your marketing copy, and they guess wrong in ways you never see.

    Have whoever maintains your site add a hidden, machine-readable description of the business — legal name, address, phone, hours and the services you sell — to every page template.

    Assistants can state what Mary Kay® does and where, instead of skipping you for a competitor they can describe in one line.

    Make your business details agree everywhere

    Mary Kay®'s name, phone number and address do not agree from one part of your own site to another, so an assistant comparing business options has no way to tell which version is current — and tends to drop the ones it cannot pin down.

    Decide which name, address and phone are correct, then have them corrected everywhere they appear on the site.

    One consistent record is easier to trust and easier to repeat back.

    Publish a short summary for assistants

    Mary Kay® does not publish the short, plain summary some assistants look for when they want a quick statement of what a business offers and where — so they build that summary themselves, from whatever they happen to find.

    Ask your developer to publish a one-page summary of your services, service area and contact details at a fixed address on the site.

    Cheap to add, and still rare among local competitors.

    Answer your customers' questions on the page

    Mary Kay®'s pages are written as marketing statements rather than answers. When someone asks an assistant a real question about business work, there is no passage on your site it can quote, so it quotes somebody else.

    Under a heading phrased as the question a customer actually asks, put the direct answer in the first two sentences. Detail after.

    Assistants quote whoever answered the question first and plainest.
