PokPok scores every brand on 17 markers of brand perception, built on decades of brand science and on 25 years of strategic brand work. Each marker is read twice, once as people read the brand and once as AI reads it, which makes the gap between them measurable instead of anecdotal.

What is a brand-perception marker?

One question a brand must answer clearly to be understood and chosen: who it is for, what it promises, why it should be believed, how it sounds. A marker turns a vague feeling about a brand into something you can check, page by page.

Where do the 17 markers come from?

From the classics of brand science: Aaker and Kapferer on brand identity, Sharp and Romaniuk on how brands are noticed and remembered, Mark and Pearson on archetypes, Kahneman on how people decide, Cialdini on persuasion, Ries and Trout on positioning. PokPok’s founder, Viktor Konovalov, spent 25 years applying them to real brands before turning them into one method.

Why read every marker twice?

Because people and AI read differently. A shopper notices a photo and a feeling. An AI engine notices whether the page answers the question in plain words. PokPok scores both readings on the same markers, so you can see where they split and which split costs you buyers.

How is this different from an AI visibility tracker?

Trackers count how often AI names a brand. Brand research explains how people see it, over weeks. PokPok reads both on one method, explains the gap, and ranks what to change first. It is a brand perception tool, not a mention counter.
