        "text": "A basic AI visibility audit is a structured test of how AI platforms mention and describe your brand, and how that compares to competitors.\nIt uses a repeatable set of prompts and scoring rules rather than gut feel.\n\n**Key factors**\n- A curated list of **buyer-intent and comparison prompts**\n- Testing across several AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude)\n- Logging **mentions, citations, sentiment, accuracy, and sources**\n- Calculating **share of voice** vs direct competitors\n\n**Practical guidance**\nDesign 30–50 prompts that mirror real questions your buyers ask, then run them in each platform and record results consistently.\nUse a simple scoring model to highlight where you are strong, invisible, or misrepresented.\nRepeat the audit quarterly to track progress and detect new competitive threats.",
