Methodology

How Visiac measures AI visibility

Visiac answers one question: when a prospect asks AI for a recommendation in your client's category, does your client show up? We make that auditable — every probe, prompt, and answer is logged and reproducible, so the number you hand a client holds up to scrutiny.

01

Real buyer prompts

We don’t ask “is Acme good?” We ask what prospects actually type — “best plumber near me”, “water heater install cost”. Discovery-intent queries, never vanity checks.

02

Tested with live search

Every probe runs on Google Gemini answering with live Google Search — similar to the AI answers now shown in Google Search — so scores reflect what AI answers today, not stale training data. Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, and other assistants may answer differently.

03

Transparent scoring

Every probe, prompt, and citation is logged. The 0–100 score is fully auditable — you can see which answers surfaced your client and which didn’t.

04

Why big brands score low

Even known names miss AI answers when their content isn’t structured for retrieval. A low score is a fixable gap, not a verdict on the business.
