How Scoring Works
The visibility score (0-100) is calculated from three components:
| Component | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Mention Rate | 40% | How often the brand appears in AI responses |
| Position Quality | 30% | Where the brand is mentioned (1st = best, 5th = worst) |
| Sentiment | 30% | Whether mentions are positive, neutral, or negative |
Score Tiers:
- 80-100 Excellent — Strong presence across platforms
- 60-79 Good — Visible but room to improve
- 40-59 Moderate — Appears in some responses
- 20-39 Low — Limited visibility
- 0-19 Very Low — Rarely mentioned
