AI brand visibility
SoundingScore
SoundingScore measures how consistently and prominently a brand appears across AI answers and the sources they cite. Compare brands within the same published audit cohort on a clear 0 to 100 scale.
Run a page auditOne score, one brand ranking
SoundingScore combines brand mentions in AI answers, references in returned sources and citations to official brand sites. The result is shown on a 0 to 100 scale. Filters change the view, not the score.
A brand can enter the ranking through its own audit or by appearing in an AI answer or cited source during another brand's audit. Each appearance is counted once per answer, even when both signals occur.
