Starbucks scores 7.0 out of 100 on the Fameproof index, ranking 88 of 120 companies measured in the run of 5 October 2026. The index is the mean of the per-model scores below.

Visibility is uneven across models: Gemini scores it 14.0 while ChatGPT scores it 0.0, a gap of 14.0 points. A brand that is strong on one model and weak on another has a different problem from one that is mid-table everywhere.

Gemini names Starbucks in 2% of answers and places it early enough to score 0% on prominence; ChatGPT names it in 0%.

Across the 24-prompt panel there are 6 prompts where at least one model does not name Starbucks at all — those are the answers a competitor is winning instead, and the table below shows which.

Measured inside the restaurant industry rather than the wide retail pool, Starbucks scores 72.0 — the fairer question for a buyer already shopping that market, though it cannot be compared across markets.
