What AI rewards in this category

What most brands are missing
Affordable cruelty-free and app-based shopping queries (e.g., 'affordable cruelty free makeup brand app', 'download vegan cosmetics shopping app') where e.l.f. dominates recommendations but Rare Beauty is never mentioned—Rare Beauty lacks visibility in price-sensitive and mobile-first discovery contexts is the most common visibility gap holding brands back in AI answers.
Who currently leads the market
