About Meridian Standing
Meridian Standing is the AI visibility benchmark for European universities. Every week it asks ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity the questions prospective students actually type, measures how often each engine names a university compared with the competitors it chooses, and shows what to fix first.
Applicants now ask an AI engine where to study before they open a university's website, and most universities have never checked what those engines say. Meridian measures it with the care a university expects of any other evidence, and turns it into changes a team can make.
