AI search visibility, explained
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how often AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overview mention or recommend your brand when people ask them about your market. In every answer your brand is in one of three places: cited, named, or absent.
Cited, named or absent: the three answers you can get
Cited
"For small-batch espresso, Aurora Coffee Roasters is a favourite."auroracoffeeroasters.com
The best outcome. The answer names you and links to your page as a source, so people can click through to you.
Named
"Shoppers often mention North Brew and Aurora Coffee Roasters."northbrew.com
Halfway there. AI knows your brand, but sends the click to someone else's page.
Absent
"Reviewers recommend North Brew and Bean House." you?beanhouse.co
The costly one. You are not in the answer, and usually a competitor is.
Why it matters: ten places on a results page, two or three in an answer
A search results page has ten links, and ranking eighth still gets you seen. An AI answer usually names only a few brands. If you are not one of them, the person asking may never hear of you, even if you rank on Google.
How AI decides who to mention
AI repeats what the web agrees on
Before it answers, an AI assistant reads sources: review sites, forums, guides, news and brand sites. Brands those sources keep vouching for get named. That is why a competitor can be recommended even when your own site is better.
1 · The question"Best place to buy espresso beans online?"
2 · The sources it reads
- coffeereview-weekly.comReview site North Brew not you
- r/espressoForum North Brew not you
- bestbeans-guide.comBuying guide North Brew You
- citymag.com/coffeeNews North Brew not you
- auroracoffeeroasters.comYour site You
3 · The answer
"Reviewers recommend North Brew…"
Four sources back North Brew. Two back you.
The corroboration gap
The sites marked "not you" are your shortest path into AI answers. Ranklogs finds them for you: third-party sources that AI cites for your competitors but never for you, with the prompts where it happened.

AI search visibility questions
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how often AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overview mention or recommend your brand when people ask them questions about your market. A brand can be cited (linked as a source), named (mentioned without a link) or absent from the answer.
What is the difference between GEO, AEO and SEO?
SEO is about ranking in search results. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) are about being the source AI assistants use and quote when they write an answer. They overlap: clear, well-structured, trusted pages help both, and many AI answers are built from pages that already rank.
Which AI engines does Ranklogs track?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. For each prompt you track, Ranklogs records whether your brand is cited, named or absent on each engine, and which sources each answer used.
How often are AI answers checked?
Every week. AI answers change from one run to the next, so Ranklogs keeps the history and shows the trend rather than a single snapshot, along with new and lost mentions since the last run.
What is the difference between being cited and being named?
Cited means the AI answer links to one of your pages as a source, so people can click through to you. Named means the answer mentions your brand without linking to you. Absent means you are not in the answer at all, often while a competitor is.
How do I find out if ChatGPT recommends my brand?
Add the questions your customers ask, such as "best coffee roaster for espresso beans", as prompts in Ranklogs. Each week it asks ChatGPT and the other engines those questions and shows whether you were cited, named or left out, and who was recommended instead.
How do I get my brand cited in AI answers?
AI assistants lean on pages that answer the question directly and on third-party sites that already vouch for a brand. Open "Win this prompt" on any prompt and Ranklogs reads the pages being cited, explains why they win, and lists what to add to your page, with a suggested outline and the schema to include.
Which websites does AI cite instead of me?
Ranklogs lists the top sources AI pulls from for your prompts, and the corroboration gap: third-party sites such as reviews, forums and news that AI cites for your competitors but never for you. Getting mentioned on those sites is often the shortest path to being recommended.
Can Ranklogs suggest which prompts to track?
Yes. If you connect Google Search Console, Ranklogs suggests prompts based on the queries people already use to find you, so you track questions your customers really ask.
How many prompts can I track?
25 prompts on Starter, 150 on Pro and 500 on Agency, each checked every week across every engine. Every plan includes every Ranklogs tool, with a 14-day free trial and no card required.
