# Visibility Score

> Understand how the Visibility Score combines presence and positioning into a single 0–100 metric.

In generative search, visibility is not only about *being present* — it is also about **how prominently** a brand or domain appears in the answer.

The **Visibility Score** measures the overall visibility level of a brand and/or domain inside LLM-generated responses, based on:

* how often it appears,
* and, where applicable, how highly it is positioned when shown as a link.

The score ranges from `0` to `100`. Higher values mean stronger and more consistent visibility across results.

Depending on the view, the Visibility Score can be calculated for:

* **Brand mentions**
* **Domains appearing as links**
* **Both combined**

## How the score is calculated

The score combines two complementary signals:

* **Presence Rate** — how often a brand or domain appears across individual search results.
* **Average top position** (links only) — how prominently a domain is positioned when it appears as a link.

These signals are normalised into a percentage from `0` to `100`. Higher presence and better average position move the score closer to 100.

## How to read the score

<Tip>
  Read the Visibility Score as a **relative and comparative signal**, not an absolute judgment.
</Tip>

* A **high score** indicates frequent and prominent visibility.
* A **lower score** may reflect limited exposure, weaker positioning, or both.

The score aggregates multiple signals, so it is most meaningful when compared across engines, thematics or periods.

## How this KPI fits with other signals

The Visibility Score complements:

* [**Presence Rate**](/platform/search/presence-rate) — focuses on frequency of appearance.
* [**Sentiment Score**](/platform/search/sentiment-score) — qualifies how brand mentions are framed.

Together, these KPIs let you distinguish:

* frequent but low-impact visibility,
* strong positioning with limited coverage,
* visible narratives that are positively or negatively framed.
