HOW TO MEASURE AI VISIBILITY.

AI visibility is measured by observing a consistent set of relevant questions across selected AI systems and comparing the results over time. The difficult part is designing the measurement so the comparison actually means something.

The five steps

  1. Define relevant questions.
  2. Choose the systems and market.
  3. Observe consistently.
  4. Separate different types of visibility.
  5. Compare over time.

Consistency matters

AI answers can vary, so a useful comparison needs a consistent scope and clear observation conditions.

Context matters

Your own visibility is difficult to interpret without understanding the surrounding market.

Different outcomes mean different things

A mention, citation and recommendation are not the same outcome and should not be treated as interchangeable.
