AI visibility shows whether your Shopify products appear when customers ask shopping related questions to AI tools like ChatGPT.

Unlike search engines, AI tools generate answers instead of lists of links. Those answers may include products, brands, or recommendations. If your product is not mentioned, it cannot be discovered through that AI channel.

Rankz measures AI visibility by running your selected prompts and checking if your selected products appear in the response.

Visibility is expressed as a percentage. A higher percentage means your products appear more consistently for the prompts and topics you track.

AI visibility can change over time based on prompt wording, source content, and competitor signals.

πŸ’‘ Visibility helps you understand discoverability, not guaranteed sales.
