# AI visibility score

An aggregate metric rolling mentions, citations, and competitor presence into a single number.

A visibility score compresses several signals into one figure so you can track direction at a glance. The exact formula varies by tool, which is why how it is calculated matters.

A score you cannot inspect is hard to trust or reproduce. Open methodology lets you see what went into the number, rather than taking a vendor's word for it.
