First AI Visibility Run — Checklist

Before you start, have:

• Business name (legal or DBA) and primary website domain
• Category (industry / service type)
• 3–7 persona queries—real buyer phrases, not one-word keywords (e.g. “Emergency AC repair Phoenix same-day weekend” not “HVAC”)
• Optional: 3–5 competitor domains for focused benchmarking

Choose how personas are set:

• Standard: Pick your industry; use pre-built persona templates for a fast first run.
• Custom: Write 3–7 queries in your customers’ language (recommended when you already know how people search).

First-run expectations: Many businesses land around 20–40% Presence Rate on the first test. Treat it as a baseline, then improve content/schema and re-run on a sensible cadence (often quarterly) to measure change.
