AI Visibility Score

An AI visibility score is a single composite number summarizing how discoverable and citable a brand is across AI systems, typically rolling up mention rate, citation rate, position, and sentiment into one comparable figure.

Why it matters

Composite scores trade precision for usability. No single number replaces looking at mention rate, citation rate, and sentiment individually, but a composite score is useful for a fast read on trend direction and for comparing a brand against competitors at a glance.

• AI Visibility

  AI visibility is whether a brand appears at all in AI-generated answers for a defined set of relevant queries, regardless of whether that appearance rises to the level of a formal citation.

• Citation Rate

  Citation rate is the percentage of relevant AI-generated answers that cite a brand's domain as a source, out of every answer where citing that brand would have been relevant. It's the most commonly cited single performance metric across the GEO and AEO industry.

• Sentiment

  Sentiment, in a GEO context, is the tone, positive, neutral, or negative, of how an AI system characterizes a brand whenever it mentions or cites that brand in a generated answer.
