What is AI visibility?
AI visibility is whether AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews — mention your brand when someone asks about your category, and whether they credit you as the source. It’s the new version of showing up on page one, except there’s often one answer and you’re either in it or you’re not.
How is AI visibility different from SEO?
SEO gets you into a ranked list of links a person clicks through. AI visibility gets you named inside the answer the AI writes — frequently with no click at all. They share fundamentals (clear, trustworthy, well-structured content wins both), but optimizing for a list and optimizing to be quoted are different jobs.
How do I find out if AI mentions my brand?
Run the real questions your buyers ask through each major AI engine and record what it says and which sources it cites. That’s an AI visibility audit — and the catch is testing the language buyers actually use, not the wording your marketing team has documented, or you get a confident-looking false positive.
