# How visible is my brand in AI-powered search engines?

> Combine the Performance Dashboard and GEO Matrix to get a single, comprehensive read of how often — and how prominently — your brand appears across every major AI provider.

<Info>
  **TL;DR** — Your AI visibility score tells you how often your brand appears across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI engines when users ask about your market. Go to **Cockpit > Overview** and check the **Brand Mention Visibility** card for your overall rate, then the **Source Citation Visibility** card to see if AI actually links to your content. Cross-reference with the **Cockpit > GEO Matrix** to spot topic-by-provider blind spots where you are completely invisible. Pro tip: dark cells in the GEO Matrix are your highest-priority content gaps — sort rows by visibility ascending to get an instant action list.

## The Question

> **"How visible is my brand in AI-powered search engines?"**

When people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini about your market, your brand needs to be in the answer. Brand Mention Visibility is the single most important GEO metric: if you are not mentioned, nothing else matters. This page shows you exactly where to look in Qwairy to get a full picture of your current AI visibility.

**You might also be wondering:**

* "Which AI providers mention my brand the most — and the least?"
* "How often is my brand cited with a link versus just mentioned by name?"
* "What is my brand's share of voice compared to competitors?"

## Where to Go in Qwairy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start here: Cockpit > Overview">
    Navigate to **Cockpit > Overview** — this is your primary view for overall AI visibility.
    Focus on the **Brand Mention Visibility** card at the top: it shows the percentage of monitored prompts where your brand was mentioned by at least one AI provider.
    Scan the **Source Citation Visibility** card directly next to it — a brand can be mentioned frequently but never cited as a source, which signals low authority.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go deeper: Cockpit > GEO Matrix">
    Cross-reference with **Cockpit > GEO Matrix**.
    The matrix lays out every topic (row) against every AI provider (column), with color-coded cells showing your Brand Mention Visibility for each combination.
    Use the **Provider** filter at the top to isolate a single provider, or the **Topic/Tag** filter to zoom into one strategic theme.
    Dark cells highlight where you are invisible — these are your highest-priority coverage gaps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the picture: Looker Studio (performance-overview)">
    Connect the **Looker Studio performance-overview data source** for:

    * A live, shareable dashboard your entire team can bookmark
    * Historical trend lines going back further than the in-app period selector
    * Calculated fields that let you blend Brand Mention Visibility with traffic and revenue data from other sources
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What to Look For

### Brand Mention Visibility — Performance Dashboard

The headline metric. It represents the share of prompts where your brand name appears in the AI-generated answer. Qwairy only counts prompts where at least one competitor is mentioned, so this figure is a true competitive visibility rate.

| Element                      | What it tells you                                                    |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Overall % (top card)**     | Your brand's reach across all monitored prompts and providers        |
| **Provider breakdown table** | Which AI models are mentioning you most — and which are ignoring you |
| **Keyword/topic rows**       | Which topic areas drive your visibility and which are blank spots    |
| **Trend indicator**          | Whether visibility is trending up, flat, or declining                |

### GEO Matrix — Topic × Provider Grid

The matrix transforms a single percentage into a map. Each cell tells you, for a specific topic and provider combination, what your Brand Mention Visibility looks like. A strong overall number can hide pockets of near-zero visibility on key topics in a specific provider — the matrix surfaces those blind spots instantly.

> **Pro Tip**: Sort the GEO Matrix rows by visibility ascending to put your worst-performing topics at the top. These are your first content opportunities.

### Filters That Help

| Filter          | How to use it for this question                                                                 |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Provider**    | Isolate a single AI model to check visibility on that platform alone                            |
| **Period**      | Switch to 30d vs 90d to confirm whether a number is a stable baseline or a recent spike         |
| **Topic / Tag** | Narrow to a strategic theme (e.g., "pricing", "integration") to check category-level visibility |

## How to Interpret the Results

### Good result

Brand Mention Visibility above 40% overall, with no provider below 20% and no strategic topic at 0%. Source Citation Visibility is above 10%, meaning AI models are not only naming you but also linking to your content as a reference.

### Needs attention

Brand Mention Visibility below 20% overall, or strong overall numbers masking one provider where you are completely absent (0%). Source Citation Visibility at 0% across all providers means competitors and third-party sites are controlling the narrative about your brand — even when you are named.

<Warning>
  A high Brand Mention Visibility score does not guarantee positive visibility. A brand can be frequently mentioned in negative or cautionary contexts. Always read the Average Sentiment card alongside the visibility figure to confirm the quality of your appearances.
</Warning>

## Example

> **Scenario**: You run a B2B SaaS company and want to know if AI tools are recommending you during "what is the best project management software" conversations.

1. Open **Cockpit > Overview** and check the Brand Mention Visibility card. Your overall rate is 28%, but the provider table shows GPT-5 at 8% while Perplexity is at 51%.
2. Navigate to **Cockpit > GEO Matrix** and filter to the "project management" topic tag. The matrix confirms: on GPT-5, your brand appears in 0 of 12 monitored prompts for that topic.
3. Check the **Source Citation Visibility** on the same dashboard — it reads 0% for GPT-5. Cross-reference with **Monitor > Citation Sources** to confirm which domains GPT-5 is citing for project management queries instead of yours.

This workflow tells you: you have a GPT-5–specific content gap on your core topic. The fix is content published on sources GPT-5 trusts, not a general SEO push.
