Each instance where your brand appears in an AI-generated search result or conversational response.
An AI search impression is a single instance of your brand being mentioned, cited, or recommended in an AI-generated response across any AI platform. Unlike traditional search impressions (where your listing appears in search results), AI search impressions occur within the AI's answer itself—whether as a named recommendation, a cited source, a product card, or a brand mention within a conversational response. Tracking AI search impressions across platforms provides a measure of your brand's overall AI visibility and reach.
We measure your AI search impressions across all major platforms, showing how many potential customers see your brand in AI-generated answers.
AI search impressions represent your brand's exposure to the growing audience using AI for information and shopping. Tracking impressions helps measure awareness and calculate conversion rates from AI visibility to business outcomes.
