Yoast Launches New AI Visibility Tool

Yoast launches a new AI Visibility Tool designed to help creators optimize their content for search and improve online visibility.

Yoast recently launched an exciting new AI-powered tool, Yoast AI Brand Insights, now in beta with the Yoast SEO AI+ package, that helps brands track their visibility and sentiment on AI front ends such as ChatGPT.

Key Features of Yoast AI Brand Insights

This tool is not a traditional Yoast offering and does not require access through a CMS or function as a plugin. Instead, it is a self-contained, browser-based interface that is ideally suited for marketers, bloggers, and brand managers who wish to see what their brand looks like across different LLMs in an AI-powered context.

This tool provides some interesting useful features:

• Sentiment Analytics: Tracks the positive and negative sentiment surrounding key words for your brand, represented in clear graphs.
• Citation Analysis: Monitors your brand mentions, as well as the websites referred to by AI platforms when generating responses.
• Benchmarking Your Competitors: How competitive is your brand on various AI tools relative to competitors (i.e., visibility and ranking)?
• Monitor Custom Brand Queries: An option to monitor specific brand queries to see whether your brand has appeared and in what way.
• AI-Readiness Index: A one-lens KPI that combines insights on category performance on sentiment, ranking in LLM responses, brand mention, and category citations.

Yoast on the Importance of AI Visibility

Niko Körner, Senior Director of Product at Yoast, said:

“With Yoast AI Brand Insights, our customers can not only track their brand’s visibility, sentiment, and credibility in AI platforms like ChatGPT, but also see how they compare against the competition. As AI answers become a new starting point for customer journeys, this competitive perspective is crucial to staying ahead.

We worked hard to create a simplified KPI that truly reflects brand performance in the age of AI. Our AI Visibility Index combines sentiment, rank in LLM answers, brand mentions, and citations into one clear metric.

Soon, we will also be launching actionable recommendations to help businesses improve their AI visibility. This launch is only the beginning, and we are already working on improvements and expanding support for more large language models.”

As AI assistants have a growing impact on how customers make decisions, it becomes critical that your brand is visible and well-positioned by AI tools over which you have no control.

Yoast AI Brand Insights first fills a major gap in what traditional analytics tools offer by providing brands with real-time insights into how they are perceived in the ever-changing AI search landscape.
