Glossary

AI visibility

AI visibility is the observable picture of a brand inside answer engines: whether they mention it, how they frame it, which competitors they name beside it, and which pages they cite. AI brand visibility is the outcome inside that picture. AI visibility monitoring is how you watch the picture over time.

What the phrase covers

People use AI visibility for the whole field: the mention, the tone, the competitive share, and the sources. It is the thing you can point at in a transcript. It is not a ranking in a list of blue links, and it is not a promise that an assistant will recommend you.

Four signals describe the picture. Visibility % asks whether you were mentioned. Sentiment asks whether the mention was fair. Share of voice asks how you compare with named competitors on the same prompts. Cited sources ask which pages the answer relied on. Read each model on its own. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude do not always agree.

Where to go next

Use this page as the definition. Use generative engine optimization for the practice of improving the materials engines can find. Use the brand-visibility and monitoring guides when you want the outcome and the habit spelled out.
