Funeral plans AI visibility scores: who ranks in Google and AI search
AI visibility (also called LLM visibility or AI brand visibility) is how often a brand or website is named or cited when people ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity about funeral plans. This page measures it for every website, page, YouTube channel, video and subreddit that appeared when we asked the 118 funeral plans questions behind this data in Google, AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and YouTube. People ask things like “What is a funeral plan and what does it cover?”, “Who is the best funeral plan provider?” and “How long are funerals taking at the moment?”.

How providers can use this
Look at which channels each rival appears in. A rival with ChatGPT or Perplexity dots that you lack is being cited from pages you can study and outdo. A high Qs count with a low score means a brand appears often but only for questions Google surfaces less.

How we measure funeral plans AI visibility
Visibility score
Each question is weighted by how prominently Google surfaces it in its People Also Ask results. The score is the weighted share of questions where an entry appears, averaged across all 7 channels, on a scale of 0 to 100. It is a relative measure for comparing who wins funeral plans answers, not a traffic figure.
Channels and dates
The coloured dots show where an entry appeared: Google organic results, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and YouTube search. All 118 questions were asked in each channel in November 2026, from the UK. AI answers were fetched once per question, so treat small differences as noise.
Questions and totals
The Qs column shows how many of the 118 questions an entry appears for, in any of the 7 channels. Read it next to the visibility score. A high count with a low score means an entry shows up for many questions but wins little of the search demand behind them. Every table shows the top entries alongside the full count for the whole funeral plans industry.
