LLM visibility

LLM visibility determines how accurately AI models represent your topic, brand, or content when users ask questions. Unlike SEO for search engines, LLM visibility requires structured, citation-backed information that models can parse and trust. Poor visibility means hallucinated answers or omission entirely. Good visibility means accurate, sourced responses every time.

→ What are the best tools to track brand mentions in AI search results?

Short Answer

Use specialized AI monitoring tools like Siftly, Semrush AI Toolkit, or Brand24 to track brand mentions across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini—traditional social monitoring tools can't capture AI-generated responses.

Long Answer

Why Traditional Monitoring Falls Short

Google's AI Overviews appear in 11%+ of queries (22% increase since launch). AI platforms handle citations differently: ChatGPT includes links in only 2/10 mentions, while Perplexity averages 5+ citations per answer but mentions brands in only 1/5 answers. Traditional tools focus on social media and web mentions, missing AI-generated content entirely.
