The Visibility Score is a metric that measures the presence and quality of brand mentions in responses from conversational AI like ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, always tied to a defined corpus of scenarios, the models queried, the protocol and the period.

What is the Visibility Score?

The Visibility Score is a composite metric that evaluates a brand or website's presence in responses generated by conversational AI. It considers multiple factors to provide an overall performance indicator.

Visibility Score Components

A complete Visibility Score typically includes:

  • Mention frequency: How often the brand is cited
  • Mention position: 1st position = max score
  • Sentiment: Positive, neutral, or negative
  • Mention type: Direct recommendation, comparison, simple mention
  • Details included: Products, services, features mentioned
