AI visibility
How discoverable and citable a website is to AI crawlers and answer engines.
Definition
AI visibility covers crawl access for AI bots, content readiness signals, mentions and recommendations in buyer-intent answers, citations when providers expose them, and weak training-presence signals such as Common Crawl. It overlaps with SEO but asks whether generative systems can find, understand, and recommend your brand.
In practice
- Use precise language on public pages so assistants and crawlers share the same meaning
- Pair definitions with crawlable HTML, metadata, and intentional robots policy
- Measure outcomes (mentions, citations, pillar scores) after you change signals
