What we measured about it: 170 times a month of demand at difficulty 0 of 100, for a term the tools selling it never define with a number.
Run on your market, a read shows: your actual AI visibility on your buyers' questions, measured, and your real search demand under every phrasing, which AI answers in your market are open, partial or closed (with the evidence), what your competitors run in the public ad archives, and your break-even numbers computed from your own economics.

AI visibility is the degree to which AI-generated answers (Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and peers) mention or cite a brand when users ask relevant questions. It differs from search rankings in kind: a ranking is a position on a list, while AI visibility is binary per answer: cited or absent. It is measurable by asking the engines a fixed set of buyer questions on a schedule and recording mentions and citations. In our August 2026 measurements, AI answers appeared on 38% to 67% of commercial questions depending on market, which makes AI visibility a mainstream exposure question, not a niche one. (Nukebook, 2026-08-28.)

How to measure it without buying anything
Write down twenty questions your buyers actually ask. Ask them monthly in the engines your buyers use. Record mentions, citations, and whom the answer cites instead of you. That spreadsheet is an AI visibility measurement; everything a tool adds is scale and repeatability, not magic.
What moves it
The pattern in our door data is consistent: answers cite pages that are crawlable, self-contained, and carry checkable figures. Visibility follows citability, and citability is an editorial standard you can adopt this week.
One read: your demand, your winnable AI answers, every competitor's ads, and your site's catch rate. Price and scope on a short call, plainly.
