When you run a report, VizyReport sends real search queries to four AI engines — the same way your customers search. We use phrases like "best coffee shop in Seattle" or "dentist near downtown Austin" and record exactly what each engine says back.

We count how many times your business name appears across those responses, how prominently it's mentioned, and whether it's recommended over competitors. That becomes your score.

We don't simulate or estimate. We make real API calls to the same AI engines your customers use, record the actual responses, and score them.

We generate 6 phrases (Starter) or 15 phrases (Pro) based on your business type, category, city, and the keywords you provide. These are the actual queries your potential customers type into AI engines.

Pro plan clients can provide their own keywords during onboarding. We use those directly, combined with AI-generated variations to fill out the full 15-phrase set.

For each search phrase we send to each engine, we check whether your business name appears in the response. We record a "found" or "not found" for every query-engine combination.

Your score is the percentage of total queries where your business was mentioned, weighted by how many engines found you.

Paid reports run 3 separate query passes and average the results for stability — AI responses can vary between queries, so averaging gives a more accurate baseline score.

Every month we run the same set of queries. Your Citation Tracker shows your score over time — whether you're trending up, holding steady, or sliding. From Month 2 onward you'll see a month-over-month comparison that makes your progress (or lack of it) visible.

This is the metric that matters most over a 6-month engagement. A business that starts at 19/100 and reaches 55/100 after implementing our recommendations has genuinely improved its AI discoverability — and that improvement is measurable.

We don't guarantee placement in AI responses. No one can — AI engines determine their own outputs. What we do is give you the tools, the structured data, the directory presence, and the content signals that make AI engines more likely to recommend you.

We don't use bots or fake traffic. Every query is a real API call to the actual production AI engine — the same infrastructure your customers use.

We don't share your business data with other clients or third parties. Your report, your scores, and your business information are yours.
