Reading the score scale correctly
0–25 points
Barely visible – AI systems barely know your brand.
25–50 points
Occasionally present – but rarely as a relevant recommendation.
50–75 points
Solid visibility – you appear regularly in the right context.
75–100 points
Strong presence – your brand is frequently a first-choice recommendation.
'A score of 60 doesn't mean 60% visibility – it means better visibility than about 60% of comparable brands.'
Common misinterpretations
- →High score ≠ guaranteed revenue
- →Low score ≠ bad product
- →Score increase ≠ immediate traffic boost
