AI Visibility Audit

What is an AI visibility audit?

An AI visibility audit tests how AI assistants answer real buyer questions about your category, then measures whether your brand is mentioned, recommended, cited, or missing — and why.

Why it matters

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity for a recommendation in your category, your brand is either part of the answer or it isn’t. An AI visibility audit is how you find out which, before a prospect does.

We just ran this at scale. Across 5,055 buyer-style ChatGPT conversations testing 131 B2B SaaS brands, the average brand appeared organically in just 12.2% of conversations — even though the same brands appeared in 99.9% of conversations where a user named them directly. Being known to the model and being discovered by it are two different things, and most brands only know the first one.

Two more findings from that study worth sitting with:

  • Where a brand did appear in an organic answer, 43.9% of the citations backing that answer pointed to competitor-owned sites — not the brand’s own domain, and not even neutral third parties.
  • Vendor-selection questions ("what should I use for X") surfaced brands organically 30.2% of the time. Educational questions ("how does X work") surfaced them only 5.1% of the time.

What the audit measures

A single visibility score hides where the real problem sits. Every Viziquo audit breaks it into four separate questions for your brand:

01 · Discovery

Is your brand introduced organically, without being named? Tracked separately for fully unbranded and category-led questions.

02 · Relevance

For which buyer intents and personas does your brand show up — and for which it does not?

03 · Authority

Whose sources shape the answer when your brand do appear: brand’s, a competitor’s, or a third party’s?

04 · Framing

When the model does mention your brand, what does it actually say? Confident recommendation, hedged mention, or something worse?

How it works

Every audit follows the same six-step process, built from your brand outward rather than a generic keyword list.

  1. Brand identification

    Map your category, positioning, audience, and competitive set from your own site. Read the guide →

  2. Persona design

    Consolidate your audience into the 3–5 buyer types most likely to research, compare, or choose in your category. Read the guide →

  3. Intent mapping

    Decide what’s actually worth testing, and close gaps in early-stage unbranded coverage. Read the guide →

  4. Question development

    Write realistic, conversational buyer questions — never keyword-first prompts. Read the guide →

  5. Test execution

    Run every question across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, rotating phrasing and following up where warranted. Read the guide →

  6. Analysis

    Turn raw conversation data into a prioritized, evidence-backed build list. Read the guide →
