"AI visibility means your content is included, cited, and recommended in AI-generated answers. If you think ranking at the top of the SERPs is still the way to go, think bigger. AI has become a primary factor in online search strategy. If AI systems can't read your brand, you could become invisible. Below, I share how AI visibility differs from SEO and five strategies to make your brand AI-visible."
"The proof is in the statistical pudding. Recent AI visibility research shares that Google's AI Overviews reached over two billion monthly users. And Pew Research Center's March 2025 browsing study found clicks to traditional search results dipped from 15 percent to 8 percent. What's more, an Ahrefs study discovered 76.10 percent of pages cited in AI overviews ranked in the top ten. Furthermore, those three links you see cited in AI overviews have a median SERP ranking of three."
"AI visibility works a little differently than SEO. Your new goal is to influence answer composition. What's this? It's whether AI systems use your content in overviews and answers. Is your content included in the list of citations? Are your articles and posts recommended? Traditional ranking still matters, but the goal is to become a source AI trusts. The proof is in the statistical pudding."
AI visibility requires content to be included, cited, and recommended within AI-generated answers rather than relying solely on SERP rankings. The objective shifts to influencing answer composition so AI systems use content in overviews, citations, and recommendations. Google AI Overviews reached over two billion monthly users, and Pew Research Center found clicks to traditional search results fell from 15 percent to 8 percent. An Ahrefs study found 76.10 percent of pages cited in AI overviews ranked in the top ten, with the three cited links having a median SERP ranking of three. Five strategies are necessary to make brands easier for AI to trust, understand, and quote.
