Key takeaways

  • Grow it by winning the sources that drive citations.
  • Track per model and per question cluster.

In AI search, the closest thing to a ranking is share of voice, the proportion of relevant answers that cite you versus your competitors. It's measurable, comparative, and actionable.

How to measure it

  1. 1Define a question set for your category.
  2. 2Query each model and log who gets cited.
  3. 3Compute your share vs named competitors.
  4. 4Repeat on a schedule to see the trend.

How to grow it

  • Fix the sources where competitors out-cite you.
  • Publish unique data competitors lack.
  • Improve extractability and consistency.
  • Earn third-party coverage in your gaps.

Frequently asked questions

What's a good share of voice?

There's no universal number, benchmark against competitors and your own trend. Gaining share on priority questions is the goal.

How is it different from rankings?

Rankings are per-page positions on a results list; share of voice is how often the answer itself cites you across many questions and models.

Do I need a tool to measure it?

A defined question set and scheduled checks give a baseline; tools help scale coverage and track history across models.
