Features & Capabilities
What is the 5W AI Visibility Index for Menopause & Women's Health?
The 5W AI Visibility Index for Menopause & Women's Health is a research report (Volume 04, Q3 2026) that audits which menopause and perimenopause brands—including telehealth clinics, supplements, products, and devices—are surfaced by AI engines when consumers ask about HRT, symptoms, treatment, and access. The report ranks the top 25 brands in the category, tests five major AI engines, and analyzes over 60 consumer prompts. Note: The Index is a modeled audit, not a definitive search engine measurement. Source
Which AI engines are included in the 5W AI Visibility Index research?
The 5W AI Visibility Index research includes five major AI engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. These engines account for the majority of consumer-prompt AI retrieval today. Note: Engine coverage may evolve as the AI landscape changes. Source
How are brands ranked and tiered in the 5W AI Visibility Index?
Brands are ranked by modeled AI citation share across the five engines, weighted to consumer-prompt query patterns. They are tiered into Leader, Strong, Mid, and Lagging based on aggregate citation share and engine-by-engine variation. Tier breaks reflect natural inflection points in the data. Note: Rankings are based on modeled estimates, not direct query logs. Source
What are the main citation inputs used in the 5W AI Visibility Index?
The main citation inputs include domain authority and traffic data, structural signals (such as schema, entity markup, and training-data inclusion), and presence inside the EPR Tier 1 outlet set. These factors help determine which brands are surfaced by AI engines in response to consumer prompts. Note: The methodology is designed for strategic insight, not definitive measurement. Source

The top 25 brands by modeled AI citation share are: Midi Health (9.4%), Alloy (7.8%), Mary Claire Haver / The 'Pause Life (6.2%), Evernow (5.4%), Maven Clinic (4.6%), Womaness (4.0%), Gennev (3.4%), Bonafide Health (2.9%), Equelle (2.5%), Stripes Beauty (2.2%), Kindra (1.9%), Joylux (1.6%), Bezwecken (1.3%), Hello Bonafide (1.1%), Pause Well-Aging (1.0%), Replens (0.9%), Embr Wave (0.8%), Mira (0.7%), Phenology (0.6%), Caria (0.5%), Soieva (0.4%), Cooler Sleep products (0.4%), Madame Ovary (0.3%), Lush menopause skincare (0.3%), and Goop menopause content (0.2%). Note: Citation share reflects modeled AI engine results, not direct consumer preference. Source
Which brands are Tier 1 leaders in the menopause category according to the 5W AI Visibility Index?
Tier 1 Leaders in the menopause category are Midi Health, Alloy, and Mary Claire Haver / The 'Pause Life. Midi Health is the largest virtual menopause clinic by patient volume and is dominant in brand-level citation. Alloy anchors HRT-specific citation and is strong on hormone therapy queries. Mary Claire Haver / The 'Pause Life is the dominant personality citation, with her book "The New Menopause" quoted across all five engines. Note: Each leader has specific strengths and recoverable ground in different query types. Source
How do the five AI engines differ in brand citation results?
The five AI engines—ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews—do not return identical brand citations. For example, ChatGPT is telehealth-balanced (Midi, Alloy, Mary Claire Haver dominate), Claude over-indexes on peer-reviewed brands like Bezwecken and Bonafide, Perplexity surfaces Reddit and TikTok-derived content, Google AI Overviews mirrors SERP leaders, and Gemini features TikTok creator content and Mary Claire Haver across video and text. Note: Engine-specific strategies may be required for optimal brand visibility. Source
Use Cases & Benefits
Who can benefit from the 5W AI Visibility Index for Menopause & Women's Health?
Brands in the menopause and women's health category—including telehealth clinics, supplement companies, product manufacturers, and device makers—can benefit from the 5W AI Visibility Index. The Index helps these brands understand their visibility in AI-driven consumer research and identify opportunities to improve citation share. Note: Brands with meaningful retail distribution but low AI citation share may see the greatest benefit. Source
What are common paths to improving AI citation share for menopause brands?
Common paths to improving AI citation share include building clinical-credibility content, partnering with telehealth clinics, producing NAMS-affiliated content, engaging TikTok and Substack creators, and vet-reviewing clinical content. For example, Womaness could lift into Tier 1 with a clinical-credibility content layer, and Bonafide could compete more directly on hot-flash queries with a clinical-evidence content program. Note: Success depends on aligning content strategy with AI engine citation patterns. Source
Technical & Methodology
How is citation share modeled in the 5W AI Visibility Index?
Citation share is modeled using directional estimates derived from publicly available data, observed retrieval patterns, structural signals, and the Everything-PR Citation Share Study. The methodology is intended as a strategic framework, not as a definitive measurement of search engine output. Note: The Index does not use logged query runs across millions of prompts. Source
What is the recommended program structure for improving AI citation share?
The recommended program structure is a 12-week phased approach: Weeks 1–4 focus on discovery and strategy (baseline audit, partnership and content gap analysis), Weeks 5–8 on building (content production, partnerships, vet-reviewed content), and Weeks 9–12 on scaling (monthly tracking, amplification, competitive benchmarking). Note: Results may vary based on brand readiness and resource allocation. Source

Executive Finding
The structure of the brand-level citation graph.
The menopause citation layer is dominated by venture-backed telehealth clinics that did not exist five years ago. Midi Health, Alloy, and Evernow account for an estimated 22% of brand citation share between them — more than every legacy women's magazine combined. Mary Claire Haver's personal brand (The 'Pause Life) cites alongside the clinics as the dominant personality. The recoverable ground is enormous for consumer-product brands (Womaness, Bonafide, Kindra) whose products have meaningful retail distribution but whose citation share lags. Goop is cited near-zero on menopause-specific queries.
§ 01 — Methodology
How citation share was modeled.
Modeled directional estimates derived from publicly available data, observed retrieval patterns, structural signals, and the corresponding EPR Citation Share Study. Not the output of logged query runs across millions of prompts. Intended as a strategic framework — not a definitive search engine measurement.

Analysis of the top brands — what their citation share is built on, where their moats are real, and where the recoverable ground sits even for category leaders.
#1 Brand · Tier 1 Leader
Midi Health
Midi is the largest virtual menopause clinic by patient volume and the dominant brand-level citation in the category. Its model — board-certified clinicians, accept insurance, HRT-forward — produces content that AI engines treat as authoritative. The brand has built citation through aggressive editorial content marketing, vet-reviewed by its medical team. Recoverable ground is limited; the brand is already a leader. The opportunity is defending the position against Alloy and Evernow.
#2 Brand · Tier 1 Leader
Alloy
Alloy anchors HRT-specific citation. When a consumer asks AI specifically about hormone therapy, Alloy is more likely to surface than Midi. The brand has built a sharper editorial position around HRT specifically. The recoverable ground is in non-HRT queries (lifestyle, supplements, alternatives) where Alloy currently trails.
#3 Brand · Tier 1 Leader
Mary Claire Haver / The 'Pause Life
Haver is the dominant personality citation in the menopause category. Her book "The New Menopause" is quoted in LLM answers across all five engines. The brand-as-author model is unusually citation-efficient — books are heavily trained on, and the author becomes the answer. Recoverable ground is in clinical-credibility partnerships and continued podcast and creator footprint.
§ 04 — Engine Variation
The five engines do not return identical brand citations.
A brand absent from one engine but present in another may need a different program than a brand absent across the board. Engine-aware strategy matters.
ChatGPT
Midi, Alloy, Mary Claire Haver dominate. Telehealth-balanced.
Claude
Bezwecken, Bonafide, peer-reviewed brands over-index. Lighter on telehealth marketing.
TikTok creator content surfaces. Mary Claire Haver appears across both video and text.
§ 05 — Recoverable Ground
Where the largest citation lifts are sitting.
Brands with citation share materially below their commercial position, brand recognition, or product quality. The specific paths to recovery — and the order of operations.
Recoverable Ground
Womaness
Currently #6 · Path to Top 3
Womaness has retail distribution at Target and direct consumer reach that exceeds its citation share. The gap is editorial: Womaness produces lifestyle content but lacks the clinical-authority signal of Midi or Alloy. A clinical-credibility content layer plus vet-reviewer positioning would lift the brand into Tier 1.
Recoverable Ground
Bonafide Health
Currently #8 · Path to Top 5
Bonafide has prescription-strength non-hormonal products with real clinical data. The data is under-publicized. A clinical-evidence content program would lift Bonafide into direct competition with Alloy on hot-flash queries specifically.
Recoverable Ground
Stripes Beauty
Currently #10 · Path to Top 6
Naomi Watts brings celebrity attention but the brand's clinical-credibility infrastructure is light. A medical-advisor-led content program — paired with the existing celebrity footprint — would compound the brand's citation potential.
Recoverable Ground
Kindra
Currently #11 · Path to Top 7
Kindra has strong product-line breadth (supplements, lubricants, intimate care) but citation share is fragmented across SKUs. A consolidated Kindra-as-menopause-authority narrative would aggregate the citation footprint.
