This is shifting right now

Visibility is no longer just position 1

Google answers more and more queries directly in the AI answer. That changes what visibility even means.

  • 1

    The AI answers, nobody clicks

    For many queries, Google shows the answer right at the top. The classic blue links slide down, and a share of users no longer clicks at all.

  • 2

    Position 3 no longer means visible

    You can sit at position three and still be invisible, because an AI answer above you fills the screen. The old success metric falls short.

  • 3

    The new currency is the citation

    If your page is linked as a source in the AI answer, the click-through rate rises noticeably, and the remaining clicks are more qualified. That is exactly what needs measuring.

Three numbers that count now

What the AI visibility module measures

Instead of guessing whether you show up in the AI world, you get three clear metrics per keyword set. The values here are examples.

62 %

AI box rate

For how many of your keywords Google shows an AI answer at all. Shows how AI-driven your topic field already is.

28 %

AI mention rate

For how many of these AI answers your own domain is named as a source. Your real presence in the AI world.

34 %

Citation share

What share of all cited sources you hold compared to competitors. Your share of voice in the AI answers.

How it works

Three steps to AI visibility

You do not have to learn anything new. The module sits right inside your rank tracker.

  1. 1Use keywords

    Your existing keywords

    The module uses the keywords you already track. No separate set, no double upkeep.

  2. 2Check weekly

    Automatic evaluation

    Once a week, yourseo checks for each keyword whether an AI answer appears and whether your domain shows up in it as a source. AI answers do not change hourly, weekly is the right cadence.

  3. 3See the status

    AI status per keyword

    In the rank tracker you now see, next to the classic position, the AI status per keyword: cited, not cited, or no AI answer.

In detail

Everything the module can do

AI visibility complements your existing SEO workflow without rebuilding it.

AI status in the rank tracker

Per keyword, right next to the position: cited, not cited, or no AI answer. All in one place.

AI box rate

The share of your keywords for which Google shows an AI answer at all. So you see how AI-driven your market is.

AI mention rate

How often your domain is named as a source in the AI answers. Your hit rate in the new search world.

Citation share

Your share of all cited sources compared to competitors. The share of voice of the AI era.

Weekly evaluation

Automatic, at the right cadence. AI answers do not change hourly, so the module evaluates weekly.

Beta

AI brand tracking

Does your brand show up in the answers of common AI chats, and in what context? Brand tracking gives first answers.

How AI-ready is your page?

The free SEO check now includes a GEO readiness check: schema depth, citable paragraphs, and fact anchors, in under 30 seconds.

In practice

How to become citable

Four levers that make your content eligible to be a source in the first place.

  1. 1

    Core answers right under the heading

    The AI extracts paragraph by paragraph. Answer the main question in two or three sentences right under the matching heading, before you elaborate.

  2. 2

    Deepen schema markup

    Structured data for organisation, author, FAQ, and product helps the AI place your content and recognise it as a source.

  3. 3

    Own data as fact anchors

    Your own statistics, concrete numbers, and clear lists are cited preferentially. Provide facts and you become the source.

  4. 4

    Show real experience

    Authorship, demonstrable experience, and depth are the foundation. The AI prefers sources with substance and identifiable people behind them.

Background

From classic SEO to AI visibility

SEO is not dying, it is shifting. Optimise for AI visibility early and you secure a head start in a field that is just emerging. How your overall visibility on Google develops remains the central question, only the answer now spans more than ten blue links.

The first step is an honest inventory. The free GEO readiness check shows you whether your page even has the structure an AI needs to cite it: short answers under headings, deep schema markup, and clear fact anchors.

How AI search systems pick their sources and what matters when optimising for AI answers is explored in our post on optimising for AI search.

Google itself documents how the AI features in search work and which content they draw on. A look at the official documentation on AI features is worth it before you plan larger changes.

FAQ

Common questions about AI visibility

No, it complements it. You still see your classic position and, in addition, whether you are cited in the AI answer. Both values sit side by side in the rank tracker.
