  "summary": "Aflac is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Insurance sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it surfaces consistently in employer-related queries — ranking #15 out of 88 Insurance companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Aflac alongside Progressive, State Farm, and Allstate when discussing Insurance employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Candidate Feedback, Company Culture and Compensation. Visibility gaps exist in Application & Communication, Career Opportunities and Interview Experience, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nAflac's Visibility Score has fallen from 31.3 to 17.9 across its last 5 measurements (since January 2026), slipping 5 places in the Insurance rankings. Over that period it has moved ahead of The Hartford. Travelers and Geico have moved ahead of it. It now trails Allianz by 2.6 points.\n\nThis analysis is based on AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Data is refreshed regularly to reflect changes in AI employer perception.",

Ranks are computed per industry and country; ties break by mention count, then company name. Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
