Mentions
A provider response may mention a business, product or service. Record the exact observation and provider context.
AI SEARCH
AI search visibility guide: understand mentions, sources and citations
Learn what AI search visibility can mean in practice and how to interpret provider-dependent observations without confusing them with fixed rankings.
Sources and citations
When a provider exposes source links or citations, inspect them. Source presence is evidence, not a guarantee of future inclusion.
Recommendations
Recommendation patterns can reveal positioning signals in supported provider observations, but they can change with prompts, models and data sources.
Provider state
Quota, credential, rate-limit and availability failures are operational states. They should never be converted into a zero visibility score.
Website foundations
Clear entities, useful content, accessible pages and logical internal links give systems better information to understand and retrieve.
Repeat measurement
AI outputs are dynamic. Comparable rechecks help distinguish a meaningful pattern from a one-off response.
