How does AI Search Visibility work?
Generative systems cite passages, not pages.
Google's filing on its generative search describes selecting a handful of documents per query. The filing then describes splitting them into passages and linking each summary sentence to a passage that verifies it. Confidence rises with the number of trustworthy documents that agree. The work here makes every passage on the site pass that check.
How does an AI Search Visibility engagement run?
- Prompt set and baselineA fixed prompt set per core query, run on each system. The record shows which sentences cite the site and which cite competitors.
- Structural fixesIds on every block, author and identity blocks, caption blocks, the sentence rewrite on core pages.
- Corroboration passCore claims checked against authoritative sources. Consensus wording adopted. Evidence attached to claims only this site makes.
- Augmentation coverageNext-step questions answered on the page or in the cluster.
- Re-run and reportThe same prompt set, monthly. The sentence-level record is the report.
Which Google documents does AI Search Visibility build on?
Patents describe systems Google has invented. They are not confirmed ranking factors. The work is built so a page passes the check each document describes.
- US 11,769,017 B1: Generative summaries for search results (Google)A Google patent describes linking parts of a generated summary to sources by embedding similarity; each sentence here carries one fact to match.
- US 2024/0289407 A1: Search with stateful chat (Google, pending application)Google's pending generative search filing describes rating confidence by how many trustworthy documents verify each sentence; the corroboration pass targets it.
Who is AI Search Visibility for?
Brands whose buyers ask an AI before they searchThe answer names three vendors. The work is being one of them.
Publishers and knowledge sites losing clicks to AI answersBeing cited is the remaining path to the click, and to being named.
Healthcare, finance, and legal sitesGenerative answers in these fields draw from sources with visible authorship and corroborated claims.
Not the right fitA site with no pages to cite yet. A new site starts with the architecture. AI visibility is a layer on pages that exist.
