Intel ai visibility

AI Visibility

Answers one question on a schedule: when a buyer asks an answer engine for a firm like this one, does this firm get named?

This is the same pattern as intel-competitor-monitoring — a versioned panel, dated runs, a rollup — with prompts in place of URLs. Nothing new architecturally. The value is in the panel design and in the measurement discipline below.

Buyers now shortlist inside chat sessions, and an answer engine returns four to seven names where a search page returned ten links. A firm can run the entire content pipeline in this repo, rank perfectly well, and be absent from that shortlist. Without this skill the repo gives it no way to find out.

Read First

1. workspace/firm/profile.md — firm name, aliases, domain, geography.
2. workspace/firm/services/*.md — what the firm actually sells.
3. workspace/marketing/icp/*.md and icp/personas/*.md — how buyers describe their problem, and their objections.
4. workspace/marketing/content/ideas/*.md — every idea carries a buyer_question. These are already real buyer phrasings; do not invent new ones while they exist.
5. workspace/intelligence/competitors/*/!_profile.md — the named set to measure against. Share of answer is only meaningful relative to somebody.

The Firm Context Gate and ICP Gate apply. A prompt panel built without ICP context is a list of keywords with question marks.

Measurement Discipline

The rules that keep this skill from producing a misleading artifact. Non-negotiable, because an answer engine is non-deterministic: three runs of one prompt give three answers.

1. Never report a single run as truth. A run is one sample.
2. Minimum three runs per prompt per engine before reporting presence or a trend.
3. Report a rate, never a boolean. "Named in 2 of 3 runs" is a finding. "We are in ChatGPT" is not a claim this data supports.
4. The first batch is a baseline. No drift claims, exactly as the first competitor crawl stores a snapshot and raises no alert.
5. Every run records engine, model, run_index, and the date. A result without these is unusable, because engines and model versions change underneath the panel.
6. Never paraphrase an answer into a verdict. Store the verbatim response. The wording is the evidence, and a summary of it is the agent's opinion.
7. A missing mention is not proof of absence — it is one sample where the firm was not named. Say it that way.

This matters more here than in most skills. Everything else in this repo refuses to invent client results; an AI-visibility artifact that reports one lucky run as "we rank in ChatGPT" would be the same failure wearing a dashboard.

The Prompt Panel

workspace/intelligence/ai-visibility/!_prompts.md — versioned, committed, and stable. Week-to-week runs are incomparable if the panel drifts, so changing a prompt means adding a new one and retiring the old, never editing in place.

15–30 prompts, maximum 30. The same discipline as "5–20 monitored pages is enough".

Each prompt is what a buyer would type, not what the firm would like to rank for:

Prompt type	Example shape
Category shortlist	"best {service} agency for {icp descriptor}"
Geographic	"{service} consultancy in {region}"
Problem-led	the buyer_question from a content idea, verbatim
Comparison	"{competitor} alternatives for {icp}"
Objection	the objection from a persona file, phrased as a question
Vendor-check	"is {firm} a good choice for {problem}"

The last type is the weakest signal and easy to over-read: an engine asked directly about a named firm will usually say something positive. Keep at most two.

The API caps a prompt at 500 characters. Longer prompts are rejected rather than truncated, so runs stay comparable.

Body: a table of prompt_slug | prompt | type | service | icp | status, where status is active or retired. Retired rows stay for history.

firm_aliases matters more than it looks. An engine may name the firm without its legal suffix, or cite the domain without naming the company, and a panel that only matches the exact registered name will under-count.

Running A Batch

S=.agents/skills/tool-dataforseo/scripts

# Confirm which models the engine currently accepts — names drift
bash $S/llm-response.sh --models chat_gpt

# One run
bash $S/llm-response.sh chat_gpt "best drupal migration agency for mid-market retail" PL

Cost is the argument for doing this in the repo at all: DataForSEO's LLM Responses API is fractions of a cent per request plus model tokens, so 30 prompts × 2 engines × 3 runs is a few dollars a month. The SaaS category for the same job averages a few hundred dollars a month. This is the sharpest available illustration of the repo's "no subscription, no vendor lock-in" claim — a whole product category replaced by an API call and a folder of Markdown the firm owns.

Without an API key

This is the one workflow in this repo that is materially worse without a paid key. Be honest about it rather than papering over it:

• Ask the current agent session the prompts directly, record engines: [current-session], and state in the rollup that coverage is one engine and grounding is unverified.
• A session-only panel measures a single model, often without live web search. It is a starting point, not a visibility measurement, and the rollup must say so.

Do not present a degraded run as equivalent. The repo's FAQ says paid keys are optional, which stays true — this workflow just gets a weaker answer without one.

Output

Run file — one per prompt per batch

workspace/intelligence/ai-visibility/runs/{YYYY-MM-DD}/{prompt-slug}.md

All engines and all runs for that prompt go in one file. Splitting per engine per run would produce roughly 180 files a month, which collides with the Minimal Files Rule for no benefit. One file per prompt per batch keeps it at panel size.

Body: one ## {engine} · run {n} · {model} section per run, each with the verbatim answer, its cited sources, and a one-line note on whether the firm or a tracked competitor appears. No summarizing across runs here — that is the rollup's job.

Rollup

workspace/intelligence/ai-visibility/share-of-answer.md

Append-only, one row per prompt per batch. Past rows are never rewritten — the history is the point, and rewriting it destroys the only trend data the firm has.

| Batch | Prompt | Engine | Firm named | Rate | Rank | Competitors named | Top cited |
|-------|--------|--------|-----------:|-----:|-----:|-------------------|-----------|
| 2026-07-25 | best-drupal-migration-agency-mid-market | chat_gpt | 1/3 | 33% | 4 | northwind-studio (3/3) | clutch.co |

Then a short Findings section, and only claims the runs support:

• citation rate — share of active prompts where the firm was named in at least one run;
• share of answer against each named competitor;
• which domains the engines cite, which is the input to marketing-geo-placement;
• prompts where the firm never appears — the actual work list.

Do not compute a trend from fewer than two batches, or from fewer than three runs.

Retention

Rollup rows are kept permanently. Raw run folders older than six months may be deleted — they are bulky, the rollup carries the finding, and a verbatim answer from an engine version that no longer exists has little value. Say so before deleting.

Rules

1. The panel is capped at 30 active prompts and changes by adding and retiring, never by editing a prompt in place.
2. Minimum three runs per prompt per engine before any presence or trend claim.
3. Store verbatim answers. Never store a paraphrase as the result.
4. Match against firm_aliases, not just the registered name.
5. Never fabricate a run, a citation, or a competitor mention. A failed request is a run note with status: error, exactly as a failed crawl is.
6. This skill observes. It does not write content, pitch anyone, or edit the website — marketing-geo-placement and the content skills act on the findings.
7. Tactics in this area change fast. Note the date of any benchmark used, and re-check the approach yearly rather than trusting a number in this file forever.

What This Does Not Do

No llms.txt generation. It is widely recommended and there is still no confirmed evidence that major answer engines consume it; Google has said publicly that it does not. Shipping it as a feature would be cargo cult in a repo whose whole argument is that outputs are not outcomes. If a firm wants one, it is a five-minute manual file.

No ranking guarantee. Nothing here makes an engine name the firm. It tells the firm whether it is named, and where the engines are looking instead. Acting on that is marketing-geo-placement and the content pipeline.
