Close on-site content gaps where Elevare Software is being asked about by name
Elevare Software holds 0.0% share of voice across all three AI platforms (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode) and 0.0% citation share, meaning AI engines are not referencing elevaresoftware.com in any tracked response within the UK software M&A space. When users ask AI engines about software acquirers, investors, or M&A advisors, Elevare does not appear in any answer. By contrast, competitors like Insight Partners (41.3% SoV), Thoma Bravo (24.3%), and Summit Partners (15.6%) are cited regularly. The top cited domains in this space are editorial sources (Wikipedia, Forbes, Reuters), data platforms (PitchBook), and competitor owned domains (thomabravo.com at 16 responses). This signals that AI engines have not built a reliable entity profile for Elevare Software; the firm's own site is not surfacing as a citable source for queries where it should be the authority. The fix is on-site E-E-A-T work: strengthen the About and Leadership pages with verifiable facts (founding year, headquarters, team credentials, portfolio companies), build a structured Deals or Portfolio section with clear case studies, and mark these up with Organization, Article, and FAQPage schema so AI crawlers can parse them reliably. Specifically: audit the top branded queries a potential seller or partner would ask ("Who is Elevare Software?", "Elevare Software portfolio", "Elevare Software reviews") and confirm elevaresoftware.com has a clear, structured answer for each. Where corporate identity facts are missing (ownership, track record, team bios), add them to the About and Corporate pages with citations to original sources such as Companies House filings or press releases. Where deal history or portfolio information is absent, build dedicated landing pages. Claim or update the Google Knowledge Panel through Google's official channels to reinforce entity recognition across AI surfaces.

Build category-context citation footprint on AI-trusted editorial properties
Elevare Software appears in 0 of the top-volume unbranded category queries tracked across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode. Competitors like Insight Partners, Thoma Bravo, and Summit Partners dominate these responses with a combined share exceeding 80%. The diagnostic is clear: AI engines assemble category answers from a broad ecosystem of editorial, social, and data sources. The surfaces they pull from most heavily in this market are en.wikipedia.org (47 responses), linkedin.com (17), forbes.com (12), pitchbook.com (12), youtube.com (12), and techcrunch.com (11). Elevare is effectively invisible across all of them. Specifically: audit Elevare's existing organic presence on each of these top-cited surfaces and document where the brand is absent or underweight. Brief the PR team on category-relevant story angles built on original research (e.g., proprietary deal data, sector benchmarks from Elevare's portfolio, or trend analyses drawn from transaction history) that journalists at publications like Forbes, TechCrunch, and Reuters would genuinely want to cover. For video and social gaps on YouTube and LinkedIn, develop a content calendar addressing the category questions users are actually asking in AI search, such as valuation methodology, acquirer selection criteria, and post-acquisition integration. Earn this presence through substantive thought leadership; do not pay for editorial placement or buy backlinks.

Close the largest single-platform SoV gap
Elevare Software sits at 0.0% SoV on ChatGPT versus Insight Partners at 61.5%, the largest single-platform gap in the report. ChatGPT leans heavily on response-text recall, meaning it surfaces brands it has encountered frequently in training data and in sources it can retrieve; firms with deep editorial footprints and well-structured web presences dominate. The priority action is twofold: strengthen structured-data foundations on elevaresoftware.com (Organisation schema, FAQ schema covering common acquisition and partnership queries, detailed team and leadership markup) and increase editorial citation density on the high-authority domains that ChatGPT already draws from. en.wikipedia.org (cited in 47 responses), Forbes, TechCrunch, and PitchBook are the top non-competitor sources in this dataset. The goal is not to manipulate AI outputs; it is to make Elevare's existing expertise, deal history, and differentiators findable and aggregatable by the systems already indexing this market. Specifically: audit elevaresoftware.com for structured-data completeness across all service and leadership pages, and identify which of the top-cited editorial domains currently carry no mention of Elevare so that earned PR efforts can be directed there first.
