AI Visibility Measurement
AI recommendations can vary. A useful benchmark combines platform reporting with a fixed prompt set, fresh sessions, documented dates, and the same scoring rules each time.
Was the business named in the answer without prompting the system with the brand name?
Where did the business appear relative to other recommendations?
Were the services, location, pricing, and positioning described correctly?
Which sources were cited or linked to support the recommendation?
Did the answer recommend the business for the type of customer it actually serves?
Did the result repeat across multiple runs or disappear after one isolated answer?
Bing Webmaster Tools now reports AI citations and the pages referenced across its supported experiences. Use its topic and intent views to identify which pages are being cited, then compare that evidence with visits and qualified inquiries. A citation count is not a count of people, leads, or revenue.
Use Search Console to review how useful service and buying-guide pages perform in Google Search, including generative AI reporting where available. Record page, query or topic, reporting period, clicks, and the relevant customer actions. A prompt test samples one answer; it does not measure all users or establish a permanent ranking.

The business name should not appear in the prompt. The purpose is to test whether the system independently identifies the company as a relevant option.
