What Is AI Visibility and Why Does Torossian Focus on It?
AI visibility is a brand's measurable presence inside AI answer engines, alongside earned media, digital, and influencer channels. Torossian pushed 5W into the field as buyers began asking ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews before they searched. The work combines public relations, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and AI-visibility research, measured by Citation Share: the percentage of relevant AI answers in a category that name, quote, or link an entity. 5W's line for it is "we get you in the chatbox."
