AI Visibility Score (linked-only) is the percentage of buyer questions where AI answers include at least one clickable link to your website.
Definition
AI Visibility Score measures how often AI answers provide a measurable traffic opportunity for your brand. It counts only answers that include a clickable link to your site.
What counts (Dabudai standard)
Counts when the answer shows a clickable link to your website (any page).
Brand mentions without clickable links do not count.
Measured inside one topic dataset (fixed country + language).
If links are not displayed, the run may be Not Observable for linked outcomes.
Calculation
AI Visibility Score = (Buyer questions with at least one link to your site) / (Total buyer questions measured) × 100
Note: values are based on aggregated runs, not a single output snapshot.
