# AI Visibility in the dashboard

> How the dashboard measures whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot recommend your business, and how to read each card.

AI Visibility shows how often AI assistants name your business when people ask them for a recommendation. We ask each assistant the same set of questions on a schedule, daily for most businesses, and record whether you're named, where you're named, and who's named instead.

It has two tabs. Tracking is what the assistants say about you. AI Traffic is the visitors they send to your website.

## How we measure it

- **The questions** are the ones your customers ask, chosen for your business and set to your city. Each question is asked several ways (we call each one a phrasing), and the dashboard pools them into one row, because people word the same question differently.
- **The assistants** are ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot answers come from the same apps your customers use. Perplexity and Claude answer through their own models with web search on.
- **When** is every morning for most businesses. Claude is asked once a week, and Copilot only gets the recommendation questions.
- **Named** means the assistant mentioned your business by name in its answer, or, for ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, cited your website as a source.

The same question can get a different answer from one run to the next, so no single answer means much on its own. Every number here pools all the answers in the range, and changes too small to rule out chance show in gray.

## Tracking

Pick 7, 30, or 90 days at the top right.

![Visibility tiles for each AI assistant above a chart of how often each named the business over 30 days](https://completeseo.com/_astro/ai-hero.DB4vqxo4.png)

| Tile | Shows |
| --- | --- |
| Visibility | How often ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity named you, across every question and phrasing in the range |
| ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity | The same rate for each assistant on its own |
| Claude | Its own rate, from the weekly run |
| Copilot | Its own rate, when Copilot has answers in the range |

A dash means that assistant wasn't asked in the range, not that it never named you. Click a tile to show or hide its line on the chart.

The chart shows the 7-day average by default, which smooths out day-to-day swings. Switch to Daily at its top right to see each day. The shaded band is the range a rate could move by chance alone, so a change inside it isn't a real change yet.

### Questions

One row per question, however many ways it's asked, grouped by city.

![A table of tracked questions with how often each AI assistant named the business, how often it was named first or in the top three, and a trend line](https://completeseo.com/_astro/ai-prompts._p2QK0YE.png)

- **Each assistant's column** is how often it named you for that question. A pin next to a ChatGPT number means ChatGPT also showed a card of local businesses for that question. Hover over it to see how often you were in the card.
- **First** is how often you were the first business named, and **Top 3** how often you were among the first three, across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
- **Trend** is the question's rate over time.

This table always covers at least 30 days, even when you pick 7, so each question has enough answers to read.

Click a question to see each way it's asked, then click a phrasing to read the latest answers. For each assistant, you'll see whether it named you, the sentence that did, the full answer, the businesses in its card or list, the websites it cited, and the searches it ran to answer.

### Where you stand

How you compare with every other business the assistants named.

![Share of voice and average position tiles above a table ranking each business the AI assistants named](https://completeseo.com/_astro/ai-stand.BjZ5B_Pf.png)

- **Share of voice** is your mentions as a share of every business mention in the answers. Every business the assistants name counts, not a list of competitors we picked, so the total includes everyone your customers hear about.
- **Average position** is where you appear in the answers that name you. 1 means named first.
- **The table** ranks every business named, with its visibility, share of voice, average position, and change from the period before.

### Places card

ChatGPT often answers a local question with a card of businesses, each with a rating and review count. This card shows how you do in it.

![Places card tiles for in the card, in the top five, named first, and the business's own listing, above a table of every business that appeared in ChatGPT's card](https://completeseo.com/_astro/ai-places.B94U_9Vw.png)

- **In the card** is how often your business was in the card when ChatGPT showed one.
- **In the top 5** and **Named first** count where you sat in it.
- **Your listing** is your rating and review count, next to the middle rating and review count of the businesses in the card.

:::note[ChatGPT's ratings aren't Google's]
ChatGPT takes ratings for about half of businesses from a licensed Yelp feed, so the rating it shows can differ from your Google rating.

This section appears only when ChatGPT showed a card in the range.

## AI Traffic

Real visitors that AI assistants sent to your website, from your Google Analytics. Pick a range from 7 days to 6 months.

![AI sessions, AI conversions, and AI conversion rate tiles](https://completeseo.com/_astro/ai-traffic.CKyCEXqw.png)

- **AI sessions** are visits that arrived from an AI assistant, such as someone clicking a link in a ChatGPT answer.
- **AI conversions** are the leads those visits sent, such as forms and calls.
- **AI conversion rate** is conversions divided by sessions.

The chart shows visits over the range. Click an assistant's name above the chart to add its line. The table under it splits the range by assistant.
