What the data reveals

01
English-language content volume is the #1 driver
AG1 (91/100), Huel (86/100), and MyProtein (82/100) are all UK or US-origin brands with massive English-language content engines — podcasts, press, product pages, community forums. French brands like Feed. (47/100) and Quitoque (32/100) produce quality content but primarily in French, which is indexed less deeply by global LLMs.
02
Meal kits punch above their weight on discovery queries
HelloFresh (78/100) outscores nutrition-focused brands like Foodspring (65/100) and Jimmy Joy (52/100) on discovery and comparison queries. LLMs associate meal kits with broad lifestyle intent — "easy cooking," "healthy meals" — which generates mentions even outside explicit nutrition searches. Media volume from growth-phase PR also helps.
03
9 brands are invisible — product strength doesn't transfer
Frichti (12/100), Kitchen Daily (16/100), and YourSuper (22/100) have real products and real customers but near-zero AI presence. A single Tier-1 media placement (Wirecutter, Healthline, Le Monde) can shift a score by 8–12 points. The path to visibility is structured, indexed, English-accessible content — not social media follower counts.
