Visibility Trend
The trajectory of a visibility metric — share of voice, mention frequency, prompt coverage — plotted across successive measurement periods.
What it shows
A visibility trend turns a series of individual measurements into a line: is the metric climbing, flat, or falling over the last four, eight or twelve weeks. It's the difference between knowing a brand's share of voice is 12% today and knowing whether that 12% is the result of steady growth or a recent drop from 20%.
Why a single reading isn't enough
AI answers vary run to run, so any one measurement carries noise. A trend line smooths that noise out and is what actually tells a team whether a content or optimization effort is working, rather than reacting to a single good or bad snapshot.
