AI Recommendation Visibility Audit
Measure whether AI systems recommend you, not just recognize your name.
Brand recognition answers “who are you?” Recommendation visibility asks whether the brand appears when a prospect describes a need. Stonebridge benchmarks those two states separately and explains the evidence gap.

Share the relevant website, profile and supporting links. We will provide a small initial audit of the available information, identify the main issues and explain what still needs verification. Further research and implementation are scoped separately.
The question behind the search
Does my business appear when prospects ask AI for providers, experts or solutions?
Assessment
A documented ai recommendation visibility audit explanation of what is wrong, what remains uncertain and what should happen next.
This engagement does not treat a platform-controlled outcome as a Stonebridge deliverable. It establishes the readiness, correction options and implementation support relevant to ai recommendation visibility audit.

Process
Four stages. One accountable diagnostic path.
Each stage has a defined question, evidence threshold and next decision.
01
Model intent
Build prompts from real buyer needs and decision stages.
02
Benchmark
Test selected systems with controlled variables.
03
Diagnose
Explain visibility using accessible evidence and sources.
04
Improve
Prioritize category clarity and authority development.
Scope assurance
A clear scope before work begins.
A guarantee applies only when it is expressly stated in the written service agreement. If that guaranteed deliverable is not delivered within the agreed contractual timeline, the client is entitled to a full refund for that specific undelivered service. Sales, rankings, editorial decisions and other third-party outcomes are not guaranteed.
- Findings tied to observable evidence
- Current requirements checked where platform rules matter
- Owned corrections separated from third-party requests
- No fabricated authority, acceptance or placement claims
Project fit
A strong engagement starts with the right conditions.
AI Recommendation Visibility Audit fit depends on the available evidence, access, service boundary and the client’s willingness to accept an honest diagnostic result.
Strong fit
- ✓ Companies with defined audiences and categories
- ✓ Experts seeking relevant, not generic, visibility
- ✓ Teams prepared to measure over time
- ✓ Brands with verifiable capabilities and locations
Not a fit
- × A guaranteed recommendation
- × Prompt spam or manipulation
- × Testing only the company’s exact name
- × Unsupported “best” or market-leader claims

View case study →What is AI recommendation visibility?
It is whether a person or company appears when a user asks an AI system for options that match a category, problem, audience or location.
How is it different from brand accuracy?
Accuracy tests facts returned about a known brand. Recommendation visibility tests whether the brand enters the answer before the user names it.
Can you calculate share of AI visibility?
Where a defined prompt set and comparison group support it, Stonebridge can calculate a directional share within that test. It is not a universal market-share statistic.
Why do results change between tests?
Outputs can vary by model, version, location, browsing mode, prompt wording and time. The methodology records those conditions and avoids treating one answer as definitive.
Can Stonebridge guarantee improvement?
No. We can improve the quality and clarity of public evidence, then measure outputs. The platforms control generation and recommendation.
What kinds of prompts are included?
The set can include best-fit provider questions, use cases, comparisons, location-qualified needs and evaluation questions relevant to the actual buyer.
