What is AI visibility and why does it matter?

AI visibility is how often and accurately AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini mention your brand when users ask for recommendations. It matters because consumers increasingly use AI assistants to research products and services. If AI does not know about your brand, you are invisible to potential customers using AI-driven discovery.

How is my AI Visibility Score calculated?

Your AI Visibility Score (0-100) is calculated across 4 key metrics: Mention Rate (25%), Citation Rate (25%), Share of Voice (25%), and Sentiment Score (25%). Each metric includes an explanation and prioritized next steps.

Which AI model is used for the assessment?

The free AI Visibility Score deploys AI agents to scan Google AI Search in real-time to deliver a live baseline assessment. For comprehensive multi-model intelligence, upgrade to the AI Brand Audit.

Can I test competitors with this tool?

Yes. You can analyze any website to see exactly how AI models perceive and recommend them. Compare competitor scores across all 4 dimensions, understand why certain competitors get more AI recommendations, and identify opportunities to outperform them.

Is the AI Visibility Score GDPR compliant?

Yes, Akii is fully GDPR compliant. No personal data is required for the free assessment. We only analyze publicly available website information, all data is encrypted, and you can request data deletion at any time.

How do I check if my business shows up in AI recommendations?

Enter your website URL in the AI Visibility Score tool. It evaluates whether ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants recommend your business when users ask for suggestions, then tells you what to fix first.

Which AI models does this tool support?

The free assessment uses one leading AI model for a fast baseline. The full AI Brand Audit tests your brand across all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, and more.

Do I really need AI optimization if I already have good Google SEO?

Yes. Google SEO and AI optimization serve different purposes. Google gets you found in search results (links to click). AI optimization gets you recommended in AI responses (direct recommendations). Consumers increasingly ask AI for recommendations before making purchases, and traditional SEO will not help you appear in those responses.

What does the AI visibility assessment actually measure?

It measures 4 critical metrics: Mention Rate (how often do you appear in AI Overviews?), Citation Rate (how often does AI link to your content?), Share of Voice (how visible are you compared to competitors?), and Sentiment Score (does AI trust and recommend you?).

Is this tool too technical for non-technical business owners?

No. AI Visibility Score is designed for business owners, not developers. You get plain-English explanations, clear 0-100 scores, and specific action items like "Add this content to your About page." No technical jargon or confusing metrics.

How long does the free AI visibility assessment take?

A complete assessment takes approximately 2 minutes and is completely free. You get a 4-dimension assessment, prioritized action plan ranked by impact, and clear next steps you can act on immediately.

How is Akii different from other AI SEO tools?

Most AI SEO tools are traditional SEO tools with AI buzzwords. Akii is an intelligence system that queries live AI models directly, evaluates their actual responses, and delivers prioritized recommendations. The system detects shifts over time and updates your action plan automatically.

Can small businesses and local companies use this effectively?

Yes. Small businesses often see faster results because they can implement changes quickly. The tool works for any business size with no restrictions.

Is AI search just a trend or the future of discovery?

AI search is creating an entirely new way people discover and choose businesses. ChatGPT has 200+ million weekly active users, and AI assistant usage is growing rapidly. The question is not whether AI search will grow, but whether your business will be visible when customers ask AI for recommendations.

What if I implement recommendations but do not see improvement?

The assessment is free, so there is no financial risk. Most businesses see measurable improvements within 2-4 weeks of implementing recommendations. Run another assessment to compare your before and after scores.

Do I get step-by-step instructions on how to improve my scores?

Yes. Your assessment includes priority-ranked action items, step-by-step instructions, content templates, and timeline estimates for each recommendation. Every recommendation includes what to do, why it matters, and how to measure the result.

Is my business information kept private during the assessment?

Yes. We only analyze publicly available information, use enterprise-grade encryption, and never share your results with competitors or third parties. Your competitive intelligence remains completely confidential.

How does Akii turn a visibility score into actionable recommendations?

Akii follows a detect, evaluate, prioritize, recommend process. It queries AI models, scores each dimension, identifies highest-impact gaps, and delivers a ranked list of what to fix first. The free assessment gives you one pass through this process. The full platform runs it continuously.

Can I track how my AI visibility changes over time?

The free assessment gives you a single baseline. The full intelligence platform runs scheduled scans, tracks every dimension over time, automatically detects significant shifts, and updates your recommendations after every scan.
