What is AI visibility?

Learn what AI visibility means, why it matters, and how Krastie measures brand presence across AI answer engines.

What is AI visibility?

AI visibility is how often — and how clearly — your brand shows up when people ask AI tools for recommendations, comparisons, and research answers.

Traditional SEO tracks rankings in search results. AI visibility tracks whether models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity mention, cite, or recommend you in generated answers.

Why it matters

Buyers increasingly start research in AI chat interfaces. If competitors appear in those answers and you do not, you lose consideration before a click ever happens.

Strong AI visibility usually means:

  • Your brand is named in high-intent prompts for your category
  • Your site is cited as a trusted source
  • Competitors are not dominating the prompts that matter most to you

How Krastie measures it

Krastie runs buyer-style prompts against major AI models and scores how your brand and competitors appear in the responses. A visibility report typically includes:

SignalWhat it shows
Overall / self scoreHow visible your brand is across tracked prompts and models
Provider scoresPerformance by AI platform
Competitor comparisonWhere rivals appear and you do not
RecommendationsPrioritized actions based on real model responses
HistoryHow scores change over refreshes

You can run and retrieve reports in the product UI, or programmatically with the AI visibility API.

Typical workflow

  1. Choose a website (HTTPS) and optional competitors
  2. Optionally prefill suggested competitors and prompts
  3. Queue a visibility report
  4. Poll the job until it completes
  5. Fetch the latest report and history for charts
