AI search visibility
See whether answer engines mention or cite your business.
An AI search visibility audit repeats a small, disclosed set of customer questions across supported answer engines and records whether the business was mentioned or cited. Wildwood separates exact citations, positive text, negated text, and no mention; failed checks are excluded. The result is a dated benchmark snapshot, not one permanent “AI ranking.”

What Wildwood measures
Mentions and citations are different signals.
Sampled answers
Wildwood runs selected customer searches across supported platforms and reports how many checks succeeded.
Citation evidence
A direct citation to the audited domain is kept separate from text that merely names the business.
Aggregate evidence
When a supported provider returns broader mention metrics, those figures stay separate from the displayed sampled answers.
Read the result carefully
Zero observed mentions is a baseline, not proof that the business never appears.
AI answers can vary by platform, query wording, date, available web sources, and model behavior. Wildwood reports the exact successful coverage and excludes failed observations from scores and denominators.
The most useful response to a low baseline is not to create pages for every wording variation. Make the business easy to verify: publish clear service information, useful original resources, consistent company details, crawlable internal links, and accurate evidence worth citing.
What to improve
Build pages that help a person first and give answer engines something reliable to reference.
- Give each important page one clear purpose, direct answer, descriptive title, H1, and self-canonical URL.
- Publish a transparent methodology, author or reviewer information, limitations, and dated evidence.
- Connect helpful articles to the relevant product or industry page with descriptive contextual links.
- Earn relevant editorial links to useful deep pages rather than manufacturing citations or directory volume.
- Repeat the same prompt set at a later checkpoint so changes are comparable.
A real baseline
Wildwood AI started at 0 mentions in 8 successful checks.
The July 23, 2026 self-audit did not observe Wildwood in eight successful AI checks. That public starting point keeps future updates honest: an improvement will be recorded only when the fixed prompt set produces a verified mention or citation.

Questions
About AI visibility
Is there one AI ranking position?
No. Answer engines generate responses from changing systems and sources. Wildwood measures repeatable mentions and citations across a disclosed prompt set instead of claiming one stable position.
Does a phrase such as “not mentioned” count?
No. Wildwood distinguishes positive text from negated text. A direct citation is recorded separately and requires a safe citation to the target domain.
Do failed platform checks count as zero?
No. Failed checks are marked unavailable and removed from the denominator. The report states both attempted and successful observations.
Is there special AI SEO markup?
Wildwood does not recommend invented “AI SEO” markup. Crawlable text, clear internal links, accurate structured data, trustworthy identity, helpful content, and good page experience support both ordinary search and AI discovery.
