How it works

The questions shoppers ask. Every day. Every platform.

1. We ask what shoppers ask

150 questions per industry, drawn from real search and AI query data — not questions a brand would write about itself.

2. We ask every day, on every platform.

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Daily scans, accumulated across a rolling scan window. Hundreds of answers per industry.

3. We record who gets named.

Every brand mention, its position in the answer, and which platform said it. The Visibility Score is the share of answers a brand appears in. Nothing weighted, nothing modelled.

How the score is measured

A fixed battery of questions per vertical, asked daily on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and accumulated across the full scan window. Visibility Score is the share of all answers that named the brand. Every population is frozen before scoring, with a documented cut log.
