- AI Impression Share — What percentage of relevant queries result in your business being recommended
- Entity Verification Status — Whether your entity is verified across Wikidata, Google Business, Apple Maps, Data Axle, and Yelp
- AI Readiness Score — Your 0-100 score across six categories
Secondary metrics:
- GEO Score — Measured with Welch's t-test for statistical significance
- Schema Coverage — Percentage of pages with proper structured data
- Content Citability — Fact density and source citations per page
Business outcomes:
