What is the AI Visibility Report?
The AI Visibility Report is your dashboard for understanding how AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity perceive and recommend your brand. When users ask these AI systems questions related to your industry, does your business get mentioned?
This report aggregates data from the AI prompts you've set up for your project, tracking three key metrics:
- Visibility: How often you appear in AI search results
- Citations: When AI actually visits your website for information
- Mentions: When AI names your brand in its response to users
- Trends: How your visibility changes over time
- Competitors: Who else AI recommends in your space
Understanding Report Sections
Key Metrics Overview
At the top of your report, you'll see your three core AI visibility metrics:
Competitor Analysis
See which competitors are being recommended alongside or instead of you. This section shows:
- Who's being cited: Domains that appear in AI responses for your tracked prompts
- Citation frequency: How often each competitor is mentioned
- Position ranking: Where competitors appear in recommendation lists
Pro tip: Study what your top-cited competitors are doing. Check their structured data, content depth, and how they answer common questions.
Prompt Performance
See how you perform for each tracked prompt. Each prompt shows all three metrics:
- Visibility: Whether you appeared in the AI's search results
- Citation: Whether the AI clicked through to your website
- Mention: Whether the AI named your brand in its answer
Click any prompt to see the full AI response with your brand mentions highlighted.
Historical Trends
Track all three metrics over time with historical charts. See how:
- Your visibility, citations, and mentions change week over week
- Optimization efforts impact each metric differently
- Spot the gap between visibility and mentions (conversion opportunity)

Understanding Key Metrics
Ayzeo tracks three core metrics that measure different stages of AI visibility:
Visibility Score
The percentage of prompts where your brand appears in the AI's web search results. This is the foundation - you need to be found before you can be cited or mentioned.
Citation Rate
The percentage of prompts where the AI actually visited and opened your URL during research. This indicates your content is considered valuable enough to read.
Mention Rate
The percentage of prompts where the AI explicitly names your brand in its generated response. This is the ultimate goal - direct brand exposure to users.
