Search increasingly happens inside an answer, not a results page. AI visibility measures the part of that you can actually observe: for the questions your customers ask, do the answer engines name your brand, and do they read your pages?

​
How it works

  1. Questions. daoco writes a dozen or so customer-style questions from your brand context: your audience, the problems you solve, your category, and your competitors. Most of them do not name your brand, because a question that names you only proves you can be looked up.
  2. A run. Each question goes to every answer engine daoco can reach, and the answers are parsed for your brand, your cited pages, your position among the brands named, and which competitors appeared.
  3. A scorecard. Rates per engine, the per-question grid, competitor movement since your last run, and the fixes the results support.

​
Where it lives

Open Home, choose Website, and open the AI visibility tab. That is the durable home for this work and it survives refreshes and new chats. The hero band shows your mention rate, how often your own site was cited, and how many questions at least one engine named you in, with a chip for each engine. Check my AI visibility runs it the first time and Check again afterwards. Automate sets up the recurring watch. The Questions asked card is where you manage the question set: type a question and choose Add, or hover a question and remove it. Removing a question stops asking it and keeps its history. Hover a question to see what each engine said and which sites the answers were sourced from. Edits apply on the next run. A chat run also opens an AI visibility panel with the same scorecard.

The engines

An engine only runs where daoco has a key for it. Engines without one are reported as not asked and are never counted as a zero, so a rate you see is always over answers that actually came back.

​
Reading the scorecard

Mentioned means an answer named your brand. Cited means the answer used a page on your own domain as a source. They are different problems:
  • Mentioned but not cited is the common case. Engines know you from third-party sources and are not reading your site. That is a citability problem on your pages.
  • Absent while competitors are named is the strongest signal you can get, and the fixes based on it are the ones worth doing first.
  • Absent with nobody named usually means the question was not a recommendation question. Replace it.
Position is where your brand first appeared among all the brands an answer named. A single run is a sample. Answer engines are not deterministic, and the same question can return a different set of brands later. Movement only means something against a previous run.

​
Fixes

The Fix action follows the same rule as SEO fixes. It needs a usable CMS or GitHub connection before it starts. daoco inspects the connected resource and prepares a reviewable change. If the target is outside that connection’s reach, the run stops with that blocker instead of returning a generic plan. Each run joins its results with what daoco already measures per page (FAQ sections, definition blocks, comparison tables, author attribution, original data, schema markup, and freshness) and lists the gaps on pages that should have answered the questions you lost. Every fix names the page or source it applies to and the measured signal it came from. Nothing is suggested that the run did not observe. When a check completes, its fixes are recorded alongside your SEO findings, so a Fix run reads the recorded finding rather than a summary of it, and the same gap measured again refreshes that finding. If recording fails, the Fix run works from the brief shown on the tab. Without a usable connection the control reads Connect CMS or GitHub and takes you to Connections instead.

​
Keeping it running

Create the AI Visibility Watch automation on the Automations page to run the check on a schedule. Each run reports what changed since the last one into your automation reports: citations gained and lost, competitor movement, and the fixes that follow. The watch is report-only. It never publishes or changes anything on your site.

Pause or change it

Pause the watch from the Automations page like any other automation. Add, edit, re-run, or remove individual questions from the Questions asked card or from chat, or ask daoco to regenerate the whole set. Your own questions are kept when it does.

​
Limits

  • A single run asks at most 20 questions, whatever your plan.
  • Starter workspaces keep 10 saved questions; Growth keeps 30.
  • Each question costs a model call per engine, billed like other daoco usage.
