Definition
An AI visibility score is a directional score, usually on a 0 to 100 scale, that measures whether a brand appears in AI-generated answers and how strongly it appears.
A useful score reflects more than mention presence. It should consider prominence, context, and confidence.
How to interpret it
Low scores usually indicate missing presence or weak association with the query topic. Mid-range scores often mean the brand is known but not prioritized. Higher scores signal stronger recommendation or citation patterns.
The score becomes most useful when read alongside the actual answer text and source data.
What it should not replace
A score should not replace the underlying evidence. Teams still need to inspect which providers mentioned the brand, which pages were likely influential, and which competitor domains appear when the brand does not.
