AI Visibility
Also: AI Citations, AI Discoverability
How often and how accurately a site is cited or surfaced by AI answer engines, distinct from traditional search rankings.
Definition
AI visibility measures whether a site's content gets picked up, summarized, or cited by AI systems such as chat-based answer engines - a different (and newer) form of discoverability than classic search-engine ranking.
Sites built with structured data, clear entity definitions, and machine-readable endpoints (an /ai/ directory, JSON-LD schema) tend to be easier for AI systems to cite accurately. Listings on Shop Digital Property that include AI-ready architecture call this out as a distinct value signal alongside traditional SEO metrics.
