What is AI visibility?

Answer1 · plain-language explainer

AI visibility describes how a brand appears across AI platforms, including its presence, relative position and representation. It provides a way to measure an increasingly important layer of digital visibility.

Why it matters now

AI platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of how brands are discovered and understood. As their role grows, organisations need a consistent way to understand their visibility across these environments.

The measurements that matter

• Visibility: how often a brand appears across AI platforms, expressed as a comparable index.
• Position: where it stands relative to the relevant competitive set.
• Representation: how the brand is characterised, and whether that matches how it wants to be represented.
• Trend: how all of the above move between measurement periods.
