AI visibility, explained simply
Questions, answered.
What is AI visibility?
AI visibility describes whether and how your business appears in answers from AI assistants. Reputation Sentinel tests selected recommendation prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, then reports the mentions observed. The results help you understand the questions tested and identify website improvements to consider. They are a sample, rather than every answer a customer could receive.
What is answer engine optimization, or AEO?
Answer engine optimization is work intended to make information easier for answer systems to discover, understand, and use. It can include clearer service information, useful content, and structured data. Reputation Sentinel helps identify relevant updates and supplies implementation guidance. Those changes do not guarantee an assistant will mention or recommend your business.
Can my business appear in all four assistants?
A business may appear across multiple AI assistants, but each response can differ. We report results separately for the selected prompts tested in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. A mention in one result does not establish visibility across every assistant, question, or location.
Do I need a Google Business Profile?
No. The standalone AI Visibility plan does not require a Google Business Profile. You can start with your business name, website, what you offer, and the market you serve. If you also want ongoing Google profile monitoring, explore the separate Local + AI Visibility plan.
Do you make the website changes for me?
The current service gives you specific recommendations and ready-to-paste structured data with your business details. You or your webmaster implements the changes. We re-check whether the recommended markup is live. Automated website publishing is not included in the current offer.
How much does AI Visibility cost?
The standalone AI Visibility plan is $39.97 per month. It includes sampled monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, website AI-readiness guidance, and weekly priorities by email. Additional phrase or market options may cost extra; review the current allowance and any add-ons before purchase. You can cancel anytime.
What do mention rate and share of voice mean?
Mention rate describes how often your business appears within a defined set of tested responses. Share of voice compares its presence with other businesses under the report’s measurement method. These measures describe the sample tested; they are not a Google ranking, total market share, or a prediction of sales. Each report explains its calculation and scope.
