AI Mention Rate
AI Visibility
AI mention rate is the percentage of relevant AI-generated answers in which a business is mentioned, out of a defined set of test questions.
Example
If a business is mentioned in 6 out of 20 industry-relevant questions across AI engines, its mention rate is 30%.
Why It Matters
It's the single clearest number for tracking AI visibility over time — a baseline to improve against, the same way a keyword ranking works for traditional SEO.
FAQ
What's a good mention rate?
It varies heavily by industry and competition — the number matters less than whether it's improving over time.
