What is AI Visibility?
Short answer: AI Visibility is how easily ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can find, read, and recommend your website. It is the new SEO for the generative-search era. It depends on crawler access, structured data, entity consistency, and original content.
AI Visibility is the practice of making your website findable, readable, and citable by large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It is the natural successor to traditional SEO.
While SEO focuses on ranking on Google's results page, AI Visibility focuses on being cited inside an AI's generated answer. When a user asks ChatGPT "What is the best Indonesian e-commerce platform for batik?", the AI does not return a list of links — it returns a paragraph. If your brand is not in that paragraph, you are invisible.
AI Visibility depends on four factors: (1) crawler access — your robots.txt must allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended; (2) structured data — schema.org markup tells the AI what your business does; (3) entity consistency — your business name, address, and description should match across your website, Wikidata, LinkedIn, and Wikipedia; (4) original content — LLMs cite primary sources, not summaries.
