AI Visibility Benchmark

Aggregated from 21 completed RankEcho audits. The benchmark shows how often AI answer engines cite audited brands and how much of that citation evidence comes from third-party sources rather than the brand's own site.

Benchmark methodology
What is counted

Each completed audit contributes a citation rate and source breakdown from a fixed prompt battery. Citation rate is the share of tracked prompts where the audited brand is cited or represented as a source.

What off-site means

Off-site percentage is the share of cited sources that are not the brand's own domain. A high off-site share means AI answers rely heavily on third-party corroboration.

When we publish a number

The overall benchmark stays in collecting state until at least 20 audits are available. Industry rows require at least 5 audits in that segment.

What this does not prove

Benchmarks are point-in-time observations. They do not guarantee future AI citations, traffic, revenue, or causal impact from any single change.

Metric definitions
Citation rate

The percentage of tracked prompts where the audited brand appears as a cited or attributed source in the answer.

Off-site citation share

The percentage of cited sources coming from third-party pages rather than the brand's own website.

Industry segment

The inferred business category used to group similar audits. Small segments remain in collecting state.

Collecting state

A transparent state used when the sample is too small to publish a reliable segment-level number.

Known limitations
Read benchmark numbers as directional, not absolute. AI answers vary by engine, model version, retrieval state, prompt wording, location, time, and source availability. RankEcho reports aggregated observations from completed audits and avoids publishing industry figures before the sample threshold is met.

Figures are aggregated point-in-time observations from RankEcho audits. They should be read alongside the methodology, sample thresholds, and known limitations.
