AI visibility summary for Cursor
Cursor achieves a strong overall mention rate of 60.7% across 11 AI engines, significantly outpacing competitors like Windsurf (27.4%) and Augment Code (17.4%). Its strongest visibility comes from Exa and Google AI Mode, both with 85.0% mention rates, while its weakest engine is Tavily at 20.0%. Despite high mention volume, Cursor’s citation rate is only 4.1%, indicating that AI responses frequently name the brand but rarely link to cursor.com as a source. This citation gap is most pronounced on engines like Google AI Mode, Claude, and Gemini, which all have 0.0% citation rates despite high mention rates. By contrast, ChatGPT cites Cursor 35.0% of the time, the highest among all engines. Competitor pressure is notable from Augment Code, which has a 28.8% citation rate—far exceeding Cursor’s—and appears prominently in high-volume prompts like “alternatives to GitHub Copilot for enterprise.” A practical implication is that Cursor’s brand awareness is strong, but its low citation rate may limit its ability to convert mentions into direct traffic or authoritative references, especially on engines that do not cite it at all.
