noun
The odds that a buyer, at a given moment, picks you over the alternatives, doing nothing included.
From chapter 1 of Seen Isn't Selected. One of 26 terms, each defined once, in a sentence you can quote.
Selectability
The odds that a buyer, at a given moment, picks you over the alternatives, doing nothing included.
From: Chapter 2Visibility
The odds you’re seen. It covers the first two of the seven stages, Known and Found.
From: Chapter 2Moment
One kind of buyer, at one step of their journey, with one need, buying in one way. The unit everything is measured in.
From: Chapter 6Doing nothing
The alternative most often chosen: between 40% and 60% of qualified deals end in no decision.
From: Chapter 18Two memories
The buyer’s memory, built by experience and advertising, and the machine’s, built from what’s written about you.
From: Chapter 9Buying modes
Five ways people buy: habitual, quick choice, considered personal, owner-led business and committee. The mode decides which stages carry the weight.
From: Chapter 7The seven stages
Known, Found, Answered, Believed, Preferred, Bought and Kept: what has to hold for a buyer to choose you. Conditions, not a funnel.
From: Chapter 4Known
“I’ve heard of you.” The buyer, or the machine, already knows you and ties you to the moment.
From: Chapter 13Found
“You show up when I look.” You appear when they ask without naming you.
From: Chapter 14Answered
“You answered my question.” What you publish removes the buyer’s next question.
From: Chapter 15Believed
“I trust that it’s true.” What’s said about you is accurate, and backed by others.
From: Chapter 16Preferred
“You’re my first choice.” You’re recommended, with a reason someone else can repeat.
From: Chapter 17Bought
“I bought.” The place they land makes it safe and easy to say yes.
From: Chapter 18Kept
“I’d choose you again.” The first six, asked again at the moment of renewing or switching.
From: Chapter 19The Selectability Score
An index from 0 to 100 of your odds of being selected at the moments that matter, with a range, and one list of what to fix first.
From: Chapter 30Gate
The square root of Known times Found. If nobody knows or finds you, nothing else counts.
From: Chapter 30Quality
The weighted average of Answered, Believed, Preferred and Bought, with weights set by the buying mode.
From: Chapter 30Won, hidden, borrowed, empty
The four kinds of moment, by whether the machine picks you and whether your own site answers the buyer.
From: Chapter 30Build
Any piece of marketing or sales work: a website, an ad, a pitch, an email, an event. Judged by the moments it moves.
From: Chapter 11 and Part fourThe Loop
Measure, fix the biggest gap, write down what you expect, ask again. Every quarter.
From: Chapter 30Brand Journey
The eleven steps from the facts to the loop, in four parts. The book, the playbooks and RocMode all follow it.
From: The PlaybooksAEO and GEO
Answer and generative engine optimisation: practices that raise how often AI mentions or cites a brand. They address Found, not the other five stages.
From: General termBrand OS
One system that holds what’s true about a brand, checks everything against it, and does the brand’s marketing work from it.
From: RocModeBrandGraph

From: RocModeBrandGuard
