Visibility measurement

Visibility measurement is the reporting layer that shows where a company appears in search results and AI answers, and whether that changes after work is done. Without a baseline recorded before the work, no later change can honestly be attributed to it.

Specification

Input
Access to Search Console and analytics, and agreement on which queries and prompts matter to you.
Method
We record a baseline before any change, connect the data sources into one report, and schedule the AI prompt checks that standard search tools do not cover.
Deliverable
A running dashboard and a documented prompt check routine, both owned by your team.
Measured by
Each month the report is compared with raw Search Console exports to confirm the figures match.

The artefact, before and after

A running dashboard and a documented prompt check routine, both owned by your team.

Before: a blank visibility measurement record with a row for each of baseline snapshot before any change, search console and analytics dashboard, scheduled ai prompt checks, monthly change log, and no entries. After: every row carries a finding and a checked status, which is the state the work hands over.

Inside it

  • 02Search Console and analytics dashboard
