About AI visibility for mobile phones brands

The AI Visibility Score is a 0-100 composite metric that measures how prominently and frequently a brand appears in AI-generated answers. It's calculated from four weighted components: Mention Frequency (40%), Position & Prominence (25%), Citation Quality (20%), and Query Coverage (15%). Data is collected daily from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, AI Overviews, and other major AI platforms.

The AI Visibility Index is updated daily. We continuously monitor AI responses across multiple platforms to track changes in brand visibility, enabling brands to see how their AI presence evolves over time.

We analyze brand presence across major AI platforms including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews (SGE), Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. For each industry, we use 100+ unique prompts covering different user intents and query types.
