The AI visibility blog
No-fluff guides, technical references and data on getting your site found and cited by AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Doubao and Grok. We write about the things that actually move the needle: AI bot crawlability, JavaScript rendering, schema.org structure, llms.txt, and how to measure AI visibility instead of guessing. Everything here is grounded in published vendor documentation plus observational research, with the same checks our auditor runs against your site.
AI search is a moving target: crawler behaviour, citation surfaces and the structured-data signals models trust all shift quarter to quarter. Rather than chase every rumour, we focus on durable fundamentals and back claims with what vendors actually document — flagging clearly when guidance is high-confidence versus inferred. Expect practical checklists, honest comparisons, the occasional data study, and build-in-public notes on how we keep this very site at a perfect AI visibility score. New posts land on a steady cadence; subscribe via RSS or follow along on social to catch each one.
