Frequently Asked Questions

About AI visibility for sportswear 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: Presence & Mention Quality (20%), Position in the Answer (25%), Query Coverage (25%), and Share of Voice (30%). Scores are measured from real AI answer-engine responses with live web search.

The AI Visibility Index is refreshed every week. Each refresh re-runs the industry's full prompt set against AI answer engines, so brands can see how their AI presence evolves over time.

Each industry is tested with 25 non-branded, high-intent consumer prompts built from trending search topics, such as 'best bank for a savings account in India'. We analyze which brands the AI actually mentions, recommends, and cites as sources in its answers.
