AI visibility

Set up an AI-visibility target and understand mentions, share of voice, queries, and cited sources.

AI visibility helps you inspect whether available AI-search data mentions your brand, competitors, or public sources.

Conditional: AI visibility can depend on workspace access, plan, provider availability, a public storefront, and sufficient data. Completing setup does not create mentions or improve visibility by itself.

Entry path

Open a store project → SEOAI VisibilityDashboard.

Before you start

  • Publish the storefront and complete the main SEO eligibility step.
  • Verify that Runner detects the public storefront domain you intend to track; setup does not provide a separate editable brand field.
  • Add only relevant competitors so share-of-voice comparisons remain useful.
  • Connect Google Search Console only if the optional entry is available and you want to authorize it.

Complete setup

  1. Open SEO, then select AI Visibility and Dashboard.
  2. Select Look up brand to open setup.
  3. Confirm the detected public storefront is the store you intend to review.
  4. Add a small set of relevant competitors, then select Continue.
  5. Review the starter prompt preview without treating it as a completed test, then continue.
  6. Connect Search Console only if the option is useful and you are authorized to connect the account.
  7. Select Finish setup to submit and start Brand Lookup.
  8. Wait for a completed state; do not start a duplicate lookup while it is pending.
  9. Read mentions, estimated AI-search volume, share of voice, queries, and cited sources together.

Read the dashboard

  • Mentions counts available responses or records that reference the tracked brand.
  • Share of voice compares tracked brands within the available dataset; it is not the entire internet.
  • Queries show questions associated with the collected results.
  • Cited sources show pages referenced in available answers and can include sites you do not control.

Troubleshooting

StateMeaning and next step
PendingThe lookup was accepted but is not finished. Wait before starting it again.
Completed with no mentionsThe result contains no brand mentions. Review the queries and sources rather than assuming setup failed.
FailedOpen the visible error, confirm the public target, and retry later.
Provider unavailable or access missingThe requested model or data source cannot be used now. Use completed sections and try again later.
Not enough dataThe provider could not produce a reliable view for the target. Keep the site public and revisit after it has more discoverable content.
