Can't I just ask ChatGPT why it doesn't recommend me?+
You can — and you should try it. But one question gives you one answer at one moment. AIShown runs 5 questions across 4 AI platforms, 3 times each, every month (or every week for Growth). That's 60 data points per measurement, tracked over time. And when the results show you're invisible, we generate the exact content to fix it.
Are people really moving from search engines to AI?+
Aren't you? Google is still the dominant platform, but AI search is growing fast. Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini are where a growing share of people go for recommendations — who to hire, what to buy, who to follow. Even Google now answers most queries with Gemini first. Ignoring this shift is like insisting on the encyclopedia when the internet arrived — the old way still works, but the new way is where attention is moving.
What is an AIShown Score?+
The AIShown Score measures how visible you are to AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, on a scale of 0 to 100. It evaluates entity recognition, content depth, authority signals, and niche relevance.
How do AI engines decide who to recommend?+
AI engines recommend based on structured authority signals: FAQ schema markup, Person or Organization JSON-LD, citation-optimised content, and consistent entity presence across trusted sources. Social media follower count has near-zero correlation with AI visibility.
What is AI Presence Management?+
AI Presence Management is the practice of ensuring your brand or identity is accurately represented and recommended by AI engines. Unlike monitoring tools that track mentions, AIShown generates the content and structured data needed to improve your presence.
How is AIShown different from AI monitoring tools?+
Most AI visibility tools show you a dashboard. AIShown generates the fix: citation-optimised articles, structured data files, and a weekly execution plan. Monitoring tells you the problem. AIShown writes the solution.
Does social media following affect AI visibility?+
Based on our analysis of 1,000 creators and brands, social media follower count has minimal correlation with AI visibility scores. Creators with hundreds of thousands of followers often score below 30 because AI engines prioritise structured authority signals over social metrics.
Is the free audit really free?+
Yes. The free audit provides your AIShown Score, identity analysis, authority audit, and competitor comparison at no cost. No credit card required. It takes approximately 60 seconds.
