Question 1

What is AI search visibility?

Accepted Answer

AI search visibility measures how often your business is mentioned when people ask AI answer engines questions related to your industry and location. Unlike traditional SEO, which tracks your ranking on Google's results page, AI visibility tracks whether AI tools actively recommend your business in their conversational answers.

Question 2

How does AnswerLens work?

Accepted Answer

You provide your business name, category, and location. We generate natural queries that real customers would ask, send them to multiple AI answer engines, and analyze whether your business is mentioned. You get a visibility score, per-query breakdowns, competitor intelligence, and actionable recommendations to improve.

Question 3

Which AI engines do you check?

Accepted Answer

We query multiple major AI answer engines simultaneously. The specific engines we check are continuously updated as the AI search landscape evolves.

Question 4

How often should I run a check?

Accepted Answer

We recommend running a check at least once a month. AI engine results change frequently as models are updated and retrained, so your visibility can shift over time.

Question 5

What is a good visibility score?

Accepted Answer

Scores are on a 0-100 scale. 0-20 is low visibility, 21-50 is moderate, 51-80 is good, and 81-100 is excellent. Most businesses start below 30.

Question 6

How do I improve my score?

Accepted Answer

Key strategies include ensuring your business has a well-structured, crawlable website, building citations across directories and review sites, getting featured in articles that AI engines reference, and encouraging customer reviews. AnswerLens provides specific recommendations after each check.

Question 7

Do you store my business data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we store the business details you provide and your visibility reports so you can track changes over time. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties. You can delete your account at any time.

Question 8

Can I track competitors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each visibility report includes competitor intelligence showing which other businesses AI engines mention alongside or instead of yours for the same queries.
