Methodology

The six pillars of AI visibility

AwarenessAI assesses AI visibility across six connected areas that influence how AI platforms understand, represent and recommend a business.

Our framework

How AI platforms form a view of your brand

Each pillar addresses a specific dimension of how AI platforms perceive and represent your business.

01

Clarity

We analyse your site architecture, semantic HTML and labelling so AI platforms can tell a product feature from a customer testimonial and understand what each page is about.

02

Consistency

We audit your digital footprint. When your description on one platform contradicts your website, AI platforms lose confidence, so we make sure your brand information is uniform across the sources AI reads.

03

Trust

We strengthen the authority signals AI platforms rely on: structured markup for authorship, verifiable award and certification citations, and mentions in high-authority sources.

04

Visibility

We map where your brand appears across the wider web. AI platforms lean heavily on third-party context, such as best-of lists, industry publications and community discussions.

05

Freshness

Especially for grounded AI tools that pull live data, we make sure your site signals ongoing activity, from last-modified headers and sitemap frequency to news and content updates.

06

Technical foundations

The under-the-hood work: making your site easy for AI crawlers to access and interpret, with structured data that AI platforms can read and cite.
