Measuring AI Visibility: How Do You Know If AI Mentions Your Business?
You can ask ChatGPT if it knows your restaurant, but the answer varies each time, by phrasing, and by user. Testing once tells you very little. Here is how to measure it properly.
Use consistent test questions
Put together a list of questions that real customers ask, both with and without a location name. Always ask these questions the same way across the same assistants.
Track over time
Repeat the measurement every week. Look at the share of questions where you are mentioned, such as 5 out of 9. An upward trend over several weeks says much more than a single good or bad day.
Compare with competitors
Your own score only becomes meaningful alongside your competitors. Who is being mentioned for the same questions, and which sources is the assistant using? That is your starting point for improvement.
How Magnifi does it
Magnifi asks a fixed set of questions across multiple AI assistants every week, shows how often you are mentioned, compares you against competitors, and turns action items into a clear plan. The free scan gives you an instant initial baseline, including the measurement date, number of questions, and platforms tested.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do I see a different answer than the measurement shows?
- Assistants factor in location, previous chat history, and randomness. That is why Magnifi tests with standardized questions and focuses on trends.
