AI Recommendation Report · Bloom & Wild · 15 July 2026
AI names Bloom & Wild, but it is not the business AI recommends first.
Executive summary
258 answers · 60 questions
Across the 258 AI recommendations we analysed, your business appeared in 35. Your largest competitor, 1-800-Flowers, appeared in 63.
To decide who to recommend, AI read 698 sources. 51 of those citations were Bloom & Wild.
Of the 60 buying questions we put to 5 AI assistants, AI recommends you for 23, names you without recommending you for 8 and hands 28 straight to a competitor. One question is owned by nobody yet — the cheapest ground on the map.
Your AI Trust Score is 44 out of 100. AI has thin grounds to recommend you.
The quickest opportunity is “flowers for an anniversary that arrive same day”, where Teleflora currently takes 3 of the 4 answers. A use-case buying guide is the asset that competes for it.
Complete the first 5 actions and you are working on up to 95 of the 258 AI responses measured in this report.
In 155 of the 190 buying questions where AI chose freely, it never mentioned Bloom & Wild once — and it named 1-800-Flowers in 63 of them.
Counted across 258 AI answers to 60 of your buyers’ real questions.
The problem
AI is recommending 1-800-Flowers to your customers, not Bloom & Wild.
We put 60 of your buyers’ real questions to five AI assistants and read 258 answers. AI named 1-800-Flowers 63 times. It named you 35 times.
Who AI actually recommends
You are fourth of six.
Counted across 258 answers to 60 questions your buyers actually ask. Counts, not percentages: a share-of-voice chart would round zero up into something that looks survivable.
Every assistant was asked all 60 questions except Google AI (20), which was asked only your highest-intent buying questions — the ones where a Google AI Overview actually appears. Its answers are counted against what it was asked, never against 60.

How this is ordered: by how many of your losing answers each action touches, weighted against the work it takes. The action that changes the most answers for the least effort is first. Difficulty and effort are our estimates, not measurements — everything else on this page was counted.
Create and optimise 'Delivery Logistics & Reassurance' hub page
AI reads your website only 51 times across 25+ distinct buyer questions. A single authoritative page addressing delivery speed, letterbox concept, coverage areas, and process transparency will be cited repeatedly across multiple buyer concerns instead of forcing AI to search Reddit, news sites, and competitor websites for answers.
Targets the 127 answers where 1-800-Flowers is recommended instead of Bloom & Wild. Directly addresses critical findings #1, #2, #5, #7, and #10 which together account for the majority of lost recommendations.
- 01Write a 1,200-word page structured as: (1) What is the Bloom & Wild letterbox concept and why it matters, (2) How delivery works step-by-step, (3) Delivery timing expectations (same-day, next-day, standard), (4) Which regions and postcodes we serve, (5) What happens when flowers arrive.
- 02Include a FAQ section with these exact phrases AI searches for: 'How fast can you deliver flowers?', 'Do you deliver to [specific region]?', 'What happens if flowers die after delivery?', 'How does letterbox delivery work?'
- 03Link this page from your homepage navigation as 'How It Works' or 'Delivery' in the main menu.
- 04Embed a map or postcode checker tool (even a simple one) showing coverage areas so AI can cite you as the source for 'where does Bloom & Wild deliver'.
- 05Add schema markup (FAQ schema) so AI systems can parse the Q&A format directly.
The buying questions this affects
- “AI answers buyer questions by reading Reddit and news sites instead of your website”
- “Your website lacks answers to practical logistics questions”
- “AI is not told that your unique selling point is the letterbox concept”
- “No pages exist addressing same-day and next-day delivery expectations”
- “Regional delivery coverage is not documented on your website”

AI Trust Score
AI has thin grounds to recommend you
How much evidence an AI has to confidently recommend you. Four components, each counted from the answers in this report — and each one you can move.
Does AI know who you are, and is what it knows correct?
Named in 43 of 43 answers to questions that ask about you directly. 0 of 286 things AI said about you look wrong. 3 of 4 assistants said they have never heard of you.
How to move it
Publish one page that states plainly who you are, what you sell and who you serve — in the words your buyers actually use. AI cannot repeat what you have never said.
Do the sources AI actually reads mention you?
Your site was cited 51 times across 197 searched answers. Sources naming 1-800-Flowers were cited 581 times.
How to move it
Get named on the sources AI actually reads. They are listed, in order, in the Citation Gap section of this report. Being in them is the whole game.
When AI names you, does it have anything concrete to say?
AI named you in 101 answers, endorsed you in 60, and said something specific about you in 101.
How to move it
Give AI something concrete and correct to repeat: outcomes, numbers, credentials, guarantees. A brand with nothing specific to say gets listed, not recommended.
Across the questions your buyers ask, how many does AI know you for?
AI named you in 101 of 258 answers, across 31 of the 60 buyer questions we asked.
