Questions about AI Visibility.

AI Visibility measures how often AI models mention your brand for a buyer question, and in what order compared with competitors. You give it one question and up to 20 brands, yours included, and it returns a mention rate and average position for each brand, overall and for each AI model.
No. A Google ranking is your position in the search results. AI visibility is whether an AI model names your brand in its answer, and how early. The two often differ: a brand that ranks well on Google can be missing from ChatGPT's answers, which is why it is measured separately.
AI models answer differently from run to run, and their models and search sources change often. One check is a snapshot, so AI Visibility reports a rate across models rather than a single answer. To see real movement, save the question as a tracker and compare weekly or monthly results.
Up to 20 brands or domains, including your own, for one buyer question per check. For another question, run another check or save several questions in one AI Visibility Tracker.
$0.01 to $0.06 per AI model: $0.13 across the three default models or $0.20 across all five. You only pay when the check succeeds.
