AI Visibility: What to Track Before You Pay for a Tool

AI Visibility: What to Track Before You Pay for a Tool

Over the past year, a new category of software showed up in every marketing tool roundup: the "AI visibility tracker." It promises to tell you whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews mention your business when someone asks a relevant question. Prices for these tools typically run $200 to $500 a month, and vendors are moving fast — Semrush, Ahrefs, HubSpot, and a wave of newer startups like Profound and Scrunch have all launched competing products in the last twelve months.

If you own a business and someone — an agency, a consultant, a tool's own marketing page — has told you that you need to start tracking your "AI visibility" right now, it's worth pausing before you buy anything. The data on how AI search actually works, published by the same companies selling these tools, tells a more complicated story than the sales pitch does.

What "AI visibility" actually means

"AI visibility" is shorthand for how often, and how accurately, your business shows up when someone asks an AI assistant a question related to what you do. That could mean ChatGPT recommending you by name, Perplexity citing your website as a source, or Google's AI Overviews summarizing your services alongside competitors.

It's tempting to treat this like a new version of search rankings — track your "position," report on it monthly, optimize toward a number. That comparison breaks down quickly. There's no fixed results page. The same question can get a different answer twice in a row. And a business can be recommended by an AI system without its website ever being cited or clicked.

Tom Capper, a search consultant who does regular AMAs on Moz's blog, put it this way in a recent one: “AI search doesn't send traffic the same way traditional search did… A recommendation can still be a win even when your site isn't the one cited.” If someone asks an AI assistant for a plumber recommendation and it names your business while citing a local directory instead of your homepage, that's still visibility — even though nothing in your analytics will show it.

The data behind the sales pitch

Before spending money on a tracking tool, it's worth understanding what the industry's own research says about how AI mentions actually get distributed. Two recent studies are useful here, and both come from companies that sell AI visibility tools — which makes the caution in their own findings notable.

Semrush, working with SEO analyst Kevin Indig, tracked 1,094 US product and service categories in ChatGPT from January through June 2026. The finding: only 15.2% of categories had a clear brand "owner" — meaning one company that reliably appeared across the majority of related questions. For a business to count as a category owner, it had to appear in at least four of five related prompts with a real lead over whoever came second. The other 85% of categories showed no consistent winner. The study also found that only 21% of the most-cited websites in a category belonged to the most-mentioned brand — being mentioned by name and being the source an AI cites are frequently two different companies entirely.

Moz ran a separate experiment, generating 50,000 AI "fan-out" prompts (the follow-up questions an AI system generates behind the scenes to answer a broader query) across 1,000 subtopics. Researcher Dr. Pete Meyers found that even when a brand and its competitors were deliberately fed into the prompt-generation process as hints, only 12.8% of the resulting prompts ended up mentioning any brand at all. Most of the "conversation" an AI system has with itself while researching an answer never touches brand names — it's about the topic, not the company.

Put together, these numbers suggest that for the large majority of categories and queries, there's no stable "ranking" to track yet, and a fair amount of what a $300/month tool would report back to you is noise from month to month rather than a signal you can act on.

What Google Search Console will (and won't) tell you for free

You don't need a third-party subscription to see some of this. In June 2026, Google added generative AI performance reporting directly to Search Console, at no cost, for sites in the rollout. It's worth knowing exactly what it does and doesn't cover before you assume it replaces a paid tool — or before you assume you need a paid tool to get this data at all.

What Google's report showsWhat it doesn't show
Impressions in AI Overviews, AI Mode, and AI-powered DiscoverClick-through rate
Which pages appearedIndividual queries or prompts
Country-level breakdownWhich AI-generated answer your page appeared in
Device breakdownCompetitor comparisons

That's a real limitation. You'll know your pages showed up somewhere in Google's AI features, but not what was asked, what was said about you, or whether a competitor was mentioned instead. Google has also confirmed the rollout is still limited to a subset of sites, starting in the UK, so not every Search Console account has access yet.

A DIY check you can run this week

Before paying for a dedicated platform, there's a manual version of the same exercise that costs nothing but half an hour:

  1. Write down the 5–10 questions a real customer would type into ChatGPT or Google's AI Mode when they're close to hiring someone in your category — not generic industry questions, but the actual buying-decision ones ("best [service] in [your industry] for [specific need]").
  2. Ask each one in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode, in a fresh/incognito session so past history doesn't skew the answer.
  3. Record three things for each answer: were you mentioned, were you cited as a source, and was the description of your business accurate.
  4. Repeat monthly. Consistency matters more than volume — the Semrush data above shows that a single appearance means very little; a business only "owns" a topic once it shows up reliably across related questions.

This won't give you impression counts or trend charts, but it answers the question that actually matters for a small or mid-sized business: not "what's my score," but "if a customer asked, would I show up, and would the answer be right."

When a paid tool is actually worth it

None of this means AI visibility tools are a bad purchase for everyone. They start to earn their cost once a few things are true for your business:

  • You compete in a category with real commercial stakes per lead (legal, healthcare, financial services, high-ticket home services) where losing a recommendation to a competitor is expensive.
  • You operate across enough locations, product lines, or service categories that manually checking prompts monthly isn't realistic.
  • You already have a working SEO and content program in place, and AI visibility tracking would be additive intelligence — not a replacement for the fundamentals.

If none of those apply yet, the DIY check above, combined with Search Console's free reporting, covers most of what a small business actually needs to know for now.

What actually moves the needle

Both studies point to the same underlying lever: AI systems build their answers from sources they consider trustworthy on a given topic, and a citation on a well-regarded third-party site does more for visibility than anything you can change on your own homepage alone. That's a case for two things that predate the "AI visibility" trend by years: getting accurate, consistent coverage from other reputable sites in your industry (what's traditionally called digital PR or earned media), and making sure your own site's content clearly and accurately describes what you do, so that when an AI system — or a person — does land on it, the description holds up.

Our SEO services work is built around exactly this: earning the kind of third-party visibility that both AI systems and traditional search reward, rather than chasing a vanity metric that resets every month. If your own site's content is thin or outdated, that's also worth fixing first — our content creation work focuses on making sure what's on your pages actually describes your business accurately, which matters whether the reader is a person or a language model. None of that helps if AI crawlers can't reach or parse your site in the first place, so it's also worth confirming the technical basics are solid — our website development work covers exactly that groundwork.

Takeaway

The AI visibility tool market grew fast, but the research these same companies have published shows the underlying signal is still noisy: most categories don't have a stable "winner," most AI-generated questions never mention a brand, and even Google's own free reporting only shows impressions, not the full picture. For most small and mid-sized businesses, a monthly manual check plus free Search Console data will tell you what you need to know for now.

FAQ

Do I need to buy an AI visibility tool right now?

Not necessarily. Unless you're in a high-stakes category with real per-lead value, or managing visibility across many locations or product lines, a monthly manual check across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode plus free Search Console data covers most of what a small business needs.

What does Google Search Console's new AI report actually show?

Impressions, which pages appeared, country, and device — for sites in Google's limited June 2026 rollout. It does not show click-through rate, the specific questions asked, or which AI-generated answer your page appeared in.

Can my business be recommended by AI without my website being cited?

Yes. AI systems can name your business while citing a different source, like a directory or review site, for the underlying information. That's still a form of visibility, even though it won't show up in your website analytics.

How often should I check my AI visibility manually?

Monthly, using the same set of buying-decision questions each time. A single appearance in an AI answer means very little on its own — research from Semrush found that reliable, repeated appearance across related questions is what separates a real "topic owner" from a one-off mention.

Does having good SEO automatically improve AI visibility?

It helps, but it's not the same thing. AI systems weigh third-party coverage and how consistently other trusted sites describe your business, alongside your own site's content. A strong SEO and digital PR foundation supports AI visibility, but ranking well in traditional search doesn't guarantee an AI system will recommend you by name.

AI Visibility: What to Track Before You Pay for a Tool

Does Your Website Need an llms.txt File? Google Says No

Over the past few months, llms.txt has become one of those things that shows up in every SEO newsletter, every LinkedIn post, and eventually in a message from a client asking why their site doesn't have one.

The pitch is appealing. Add a single Markdown file to your root directory, and AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews will understand your site better and cite you more often. It sounds like robots.txt for the AI era.

There's now enough evidence to answer the question properly. The short version: for the vast majority of businesses, llms.txt is not worth your time. Google has said so directly, and the crawl data backs it up.

What llms.txt Was Supposed to Do

The llms.txt specification proposes a Markdown file at your domain root — yoursite.com/llms.txt — containing a curated summary of your site with links to your most important pages.

The reasoning behind it is sound. Large language models work within a limited context window. HTML pages are full of navigation, scripts, cookie banners, and markup that waste that budget. A clean Markdown summary would, in theory, let an AI system grasp your site efficiently.

It's a genuinely reasonable idea. The problem is that nobody with a major AI crawler agreed to read it.

What Google Actually Said

This is where the case falls apart. Google's AI optimisation guidance, updated in June 2026, states it plainly:

You don't need to create new machine readable files, AI text files, markup, or Markdown to appear in Google Search (including its generative AI capabilities), as Google Search itself doesn't use them.

That's not ambiguous. Google's own AI-features documentation lists llms.txt among tactics you do not need for AI Overviews or AI Mode.

Gary Illyes said at Search Central Live in July 2025 that Google does not support llms.txt and has no plans to. When John Mueller was asked whether Google publishing its own llms.txt file counted as an endorsement, his answer was about as direct as Google gets: "I'm tempted to say something snarky since this has come up so often, but to be direct, no."

Mueller also drew a comparison worth sitting with — he likened llms.txt to the old keywords meta tag: a file where a site declares what it's about, when the search engine would rather just read the site and decide for itself.

Anyone who was doing SEO in 2009 knows how that story ended. Self-reported relevance signals get ignored, because they're trivially gamed.

The Crawl Data Is Worse Than the Statements

Official positions are one thing. Actual bot behaviour is another, and it's more damning. An analysis of 137,000 websites found:

FindingResult
Sites that had published an llms.txt file28%
Of those files, how many were never requested by any bot97%

Read that second row again. Nearly every llms.txt file that exists has never been fetched — not by Google, not by OpenAI, not by Anthropic, not by Perplexity.

These aren't files that got crawled and ignored. They were never opened at all. A quarter of the web built a door that nobody has knocked on.

If you want to check this on your own site, don't take anyone's word for it. Open your raw server access logs and search for requests to /llms.txt. On the sites we've looked at, the count is almost always zero. That's a five-minute check, and it's more persuasive than any blog post — including this one.

So Why Does Everyone Keep Talking About It?

Three reasons, and none of them are "it works."

It's easy to sell. "Add this file" is a concrete, cheap deliverable. It looks like progress on an invoice. Real AI visibility work — earning citations, building genuine subject authority, getting mentioned on sites that models actually train on and retrieve from — is slow and much harder to package.

Tools shipped support for it. Yoast added an llms.txt feature. Various generators appeared. Once tooling exists, adoption follows, and adoption gets mistaken for effectiveness. The file being easy to create says nothing about whether it's read.

Correlation gets misread as causation. Sites that publish llms.txt tend to be run by teams who follow SEO closely and do a lot of other things well. When those sites show up in AI answers, the file gets the credit that belongs to the underlying content quality and authority.

What Actually Influences AI Visibility

The uncomfortable answer is that it looks a lot like good SEO — which is roughly what Google has been saying all along.

Ahrefs recently studied 331,000 pages and reached a conclusion worth repeating: Google doesn't punish AI content, it punishes bad content. The same principle applies here. There's no file that substitutes for being genuinely worth citing.

What does move the needle:

  1. Content that answers a question completely and can be quoted. AI systems extract passages. Clear, self-contained, factually accurate sections get pulled; rambling ones don't.
  2. Being mentioned elsewhere. Models retrieve from and are trained on the wider web. Getting cited on sites that already have authority matters far more than anything in your root directory. This is digital PR and content strategy work, not a technical checkbox.
  3. A site that renders fast and clean. If your key content only appears after heavy JavaScript execution, retrieval systems may never see it. This is ordinary technical site quality, and it was already worth fixing.
  4. Structured data. Unlike llms.txt, Schema.org markup is documented, actively consumed, and used by Google. If you want a machine-readable file that genuinely gets read, this is the one.
  5. Clear, consistent entity information. Who you are, what you do, and where — stated the same way across your site and off it.

None of that is new. That's rather the point. The teams doing well in AI search are largely the teams that were already doing the fundamentals properly.

The Honest Recommendation

Skip it — for now.

If you have a spare ten minutes and a developer already in the codebase, adding an llms.txt file is harmless. It won't hurt your rankings. Google has said it's "fine," which is a long way from saying it's useful.

But if creating and maintaining one would take real hours, displace other work, or appear as a line item on an agency invoice — that's a bad trade. You'd be maintaining a second copy of your site structure that must be kept in sync, in exchange for no demonstrated benefit.

The exception: if you run developer-facing documentation, there's a real case. Tools like Cursor and Claude Code can be pointed at documentation directly, and some documentation platforms have adopted the format meaningfully. If your users are developers who will actively feed your docs to an AI coding assistant, llms.txt may earn its keep. That's a genuine use case — it's just not the one being marketed to most businesses.

Revisit if this changes: if OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google announce official support, the maths changes overnight. It's worth watching. It's not worth pre-emptively building for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Google use llms.txt?

No. Google's AI-features documentation, updated June 2026, states that Google Search does not use machine-readable AI text files, and Gary Illyes confirmed there are no plans to support it. Google publishes its own llms.txt file, but John Mueller has explicitly said this is not an endorsement.

Will adding an llms.txt file hurt my SEO?

No. It's a static file that search engines ignore. There's no ranking penalty. The cost is the time spent creating and maintaining it, not any risk to your rankings.

Do ChatGPT or Claude read llms.txt?

There's no confirmed automatic support from any major AI provider. The crawl data is the clearest signal here — in a study of 137,000 sites, 97% of published llms.txt files were never requested by any bot at all.

What should I do instead to show up in AI answers?

Focus on content that's genuinely quotable and complete, earning mentions on authoritative third-party sites, fast clean rendering, and Schema.org structured data. These are documented, actively consumed signals — unlike llms.txt.

Is llms.txt the same as robots.txt?

No. robots.txt is a long-established standard that crawlers genuinely obey and that controls access. llms.txt is a proposed format that suggests content, and major AI crawlers have not adopted it.

The Takeaway

llms.txt is a sensible idea that hasn't been adopted by the systems it was designed for. Google has said it doesn't use it. The crawl logs show almost nobody else does either.

Being cited by AI systems comes from the same place it always has: being genuinely useful, clearly structured, and referenced by other people. There's no file you can upload that shortcuts that.

If you're unsure where your site actually stands in AI search — as opposed to where a checklist says it should — get in touch. We'll look at your real server logs and tell you honestly what's worth fixing.

SEO in 2023: Mastering Core Web Vitals and User Experience for Higher Rankings

SEO in 2023: Mastering Core Web Vitals and User Experience for Higher Rankings

As we move into 2023, search engine optimization (SEO) continues to evolve, with the focus shifting toward user experience (UX) and Core Web Vitals. These key performance indicators are now crucial for achieving higher search engine rankings. In this blog, we'll explore the importance of Core Web Vitals, how they impact user experience, and the strategies to optimize your website for better performance and higher search engine rankings.

Understanding Core Web Vitals:

In 2020, Google introduced Core Web Vitals as a set of three essential metrics that measure a website's user experience. These include:

  1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): This measures the time it takes for the main content on a webpage to load. A good LCP score is under 2.5 seconds.
  2. First Input Delay (FID): This measures the time it takes for a page to become interactive, with a target score of under 100 milliseconds.
  3. Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): This measures the stability of a page's layout during loading, aiming for a score of less than 0.1.

Improving User Experience (UX) with Core Web Vitals:

By optimizing your website for Core Web Vitals, you'll not only improve your search engine rankings but also enhance your users' overall experience. Here are some tips for optimizing each Core Web Vital metric:

  1. Optimize LCP:
    • Compress and optimize images and videos.
    • Use lazy loading for off-screen images.
    • Minify CSS and JavaScript files.
    • Implement a content delivery network (CDN) to reduce server response times.
  2. Optimize FID:
    • Break up long JavaScript tasks into smaller, asynchronous tasks.
    • Use a web worker to run JavaScript on a separate thread.
    • Minimize the use of third-party scripts that can cause delays.
  3. Optimize CLS:
    • Use CSS aspect ratio boxes to prevent content reflow.
    • Reserve space for ads and embeds to prevent layout shifts.
    • Set font sizes and line heights to ensure consistent text rendering.

Mastering SEO and UX in 2023:

To stay ahead in the competitive SEO landscape of 2023, consider the following strategies:

  1. Mobile-first indexing: With more users accessing the internet via smartphones, ensure your website is responsive and optimized for mobile devices.
  2. Content quality: High-quality, informative, and engaging content is still the backbone of successful SEO. Focus on creating content that serves your users' needs and answers their questions.
  3. Voice search optimization: As voice search becomes increasingly popular, optimize your content by including long-tail keywords and phrases that mimic natural language.
  4. Video content: Leverage the power of video content to engage users, and optimize it for search engines by adding relevant metadata, transcriptions, and subtitles.
  5. Improve site speed: A fast-loading website is crucial for a better user experience and higher search engine rankings. Optimize your site's speed by compressing media files, using browser caching, and reducing server response times.
  6. Focus on accessibility: Ensure your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Conclusion:

Mastering Core Web Vitals and user experience is key to achieving higher search engine rankings in 2023. By optimizing your website for these metrics, you'll not only improve your site's performance but also enhance the overall experience for your users. Stay ahead of the competition by continuously monitoring and updating your website's performance, content, and accessibility.

Advantages of Search Engine Optimization

Advantages of Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of making a website or web page gets more and better traffic from search engines. Instead of focusing on paid or direct traffic, SEO aims for unpaid traffic results.

SEO is a method of online marketing that considers the inner workings of search engines, the computer algorithms that govern their actions, the content of user queries, the keywords people type into search engines, and the search engines most frequently used by their target audience. Search engine optimization (SEO) is done because it increases the likelihood that a website will be visited from within a search engine (SERP). Potential customers can be found among these site visitors.

Advantages of Search Engine Optimization

  • Search Engine Optimization Boosts Natural, High-Quality Views on Websites

The most notable advantage of SEO is the boost in organic search engine rankings and visitor numbers. Optimization for search engines is particular and focused on the user. With the right SEO plan in place, your web pages will be exposed to the right people when they conduct relevant searches at the right time. Organic visibility attracts high-quality traffic to your website without enticing or persuading the visitor, as they are already interested in what you offer.

  • Becomes an Authority

Above all else, a company must earn its customers' trust to succeed. They'll trust Google to guide them to the most valuable resources online. Because of this, the site needs to be on the first page of search results, or it will not be taken seriously. Users place more faith in websites that rank higher in organic searches. SEO boosts a website's visibility and ranking by attracting more visitors. It's vital to the site's credibility and popularity.

  • Search Engine Optimization Aims at All Stages of the Sales Process

The various stages of the marketing funnel can be addressed by the many forms of content used in SEO-driven content marketing. Although a blog post at the top of the funnel or in the middle of the funnel is unlikely to result in an immediate sale, it can help increase exposure to your brand and ultimately lead to more sales.

  • Improves the user experience

SEO improves the responsiveness of websites. These days, two seconds is the absolute minimum people will wait while a webpage loads. The longer a page takes to load, the lower its conversion rate. A decrease in the bounce rate can be achieved by increasing the speed with which the page loads, encouraging visitors to spend more time on the site. Search engine optimization (SEO) makes adjustments so that the page displays optimally on mobile devices, desktop, and laptop computers, attracting more users.

Conclusion

SEO's end game is to boost traffic and revenue for the page in question. It helps mend fences with the people who use your product. Raising the page's profile builds credibility and attracts new visitors by spreading the word. It improves businesses' conversion rates, leading to more sales and expansion. Therefore, search engine optimization (SEO) is fundamental to digital marketing, and it can significantly benefit your campaign to employ the services of agencies providing SEO.
