Data-Driven Visibility

The AI Visibility Score is the industry's first unified metric for measuring brand presence in generative search. It provides a single, quantifiable number (0-100) that captures your brand's authority and recommendation frequency across the entire AI ecosystem—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. This score allows you to track growth over time, benchmark against competitors, and demonstrate marketing ROI to stakeholders with executive-level clarity.

Unlike vanity metrics like social mentions or traditional search rankings, the AI Visibility Score measures what matters in the AI era: how often your brand is actively recommended when users ask high-intent questions to AI assistants. This is the metric that correlates directly with customer acquisition in the age of conversational search.

How the Score is Calculated

1. Recommendation Frequency (40% weight)

The foundational component measures how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers across a representative sample of category-relevant prompts. We continuously probe each LLM with 100+ variations of high-value queries and calculate the percentage where you're mentioned or recommended. A score of 50 means you appear in roughly half of relevant AI responses. A score of 80+ indicates category dominance.

2. Position & Prominence (25% weight)

Being the first brand mentioned carries more weight than appearing fourth in a list. Our algorithm accounts for primary recommendations, first-in-list positioning, featured mentions, and peripheral references. The dashboard shows your average position with trend analysis showing movement over time.

3. Answer Correctness (20% weight)

Our Answer Quality module scores every mention based on factual correctness—does the AI accurately describe your features, pricing, and positioning? You'll receive alerts when AI models are citing outdated information with direct links to source content that needs updating.

4. Source Attribution Quality (15% weight)

When AI models cite your brand with proper source attribution, it signals higher authority. Our system tracks citation frequency and quality, showing you which pages earn the most AI citations and which content types drive authoritative mentions.
