What metrics best prove the ROI of AI visibility work?
Key metrics include citation frequency, share of voice against competitors, and the volume of AI-sourced traffic generated from cited URLs. Connecting these data points to your broader business goals helps stakeholders see the direct impact of your AI visibility strategy.
