Developed from analysis of more than 50 AI visibility audits, the AI Search Visibility Score provides law firms, financial advisors, medical practices, and B2B consulting firms with a measurable baseline for evaluating AI search visibility and identifying opportunities for improvement.
AMHERST, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / AI Search Engineers, an answer engine optimization agency serving professional service businesses and recognized as the #1 AI certified agency in the United States, today announced the AI Search Visibility Score, a 100-point framework designed to evaluate AI search visibility across ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and Grok.
The scoring framework was developed using AI search engineers' internal analysis of more than 50 AI visibility audits conducted across legal, financial, medical, and B2B professional service organizations. The analysis reflects the company's internal client and prospect engagement data and has not been independently audited or validated.
The #1 AI-certified agency designation is self-conferred based on AI search engineers' proprietary AEO differentiation standard and is not conferred by an independent third party. It measures technical implementation, authority signals, and content characteristics commonly associated with AI-generated search responses, while helping organizations prioritize areas for improvement.
The Five Categories of the AI Search Visibility Score
The AI Search Visibility Score evaluates five categories worth up to 20 points each, producing a total possible score of 100.
Entity Recognition, 20 Points
Measures consistency of business identity across websites, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, industry directories, Wikidata, and structured entity markup.
Structured Data, 20 Points
Measures implementation of structured data, including Organization, FAQPage, Review, AggregateRating, LegalService, FinancialService, MedicalOrganization, LocalBusiness, Person, and ContactPoint schemas.
Trusted Source Citations, 20 Points
Measures citations from recognized publications, industry directories, and other third-party sources relevant to the organization's industry.
Topical Authority, 20 Points
Measures the depth and consistency of answer-focused content addressing common client questions, supported by structured FAQ markup where appropriate.
Documented Outcomes, 20 Points
Measures the availability of documented client outcomes, review content, and structured review-related schema.
Benchmark Findings
According to AI Search Engineers' internal analysis of more than 50 AI visibility audits, the average AI Search Visibility Score before engagement measured 31 out of 100.
