How it works
We show whether AI recommends your business, and help it find your inventory.
Shoppers ask AI where to buy. Here is exactly what we do, what you do, and what you get at each step.
At a glance
Visible Now is a measuring and publishing service. It does not change what AI says.
What we do
- Ask AI the questions shoppers ask, with live web search, and show whether it names your business and which stores it names instead.
- Publish what you sell as public pages and a product feed, so assistants can read your inventory.
- With Monthly, re-check every Monday and email you the result, so you can see the trend.
What we do not do
- Change what an AI says, or pay for placement. We measure, and we publish what you sell.
- Promise a result. Assistants decide what to show.
- Connect to your point-of-sale system. You email us an export.
- Submit your items to AI assistants' own merchant programs yet. The public pages are open to any assistant with web search, and the feed is built for Google.

How the score is worked out
We put shopper questions to the assistant with live web search, the way a person would type them. None contain your business's name, so it only names you if it already counts you as a good answer. For example:
- Where can I buy [your category] near [your ZIP]?
- What's the best store for [your category] in the [your ZIP] area?
- Which local shops sell [your category] around [your ZIP]?
Score = answers that name your business ÷ questions asked × 100
Named in 6 of 20 answers is a score of 30.
Reading your score
- It counts whether you were named, not where you were listed.
- It is one run. Assistants vary from run to run, and the apps people use can differ a little from what we measure, so watch the trend, not a single number.
- Today we measure one AI assistant, with live web search. Others are not measured yet.
What gets published
An assistant can only name what it can read. With Monthly, your point-of-sale export becomes:
- A public page for each approved item: its name, price (or “Call for price”), whether it is in stock, your business name and ZIP, and a button to call and confirm.
- A product feed in Google's format that lists only items marked in stock. Connect its URL to Google Merchant Center, or upload the CSV we email you each Monday.
- Send a new export any time and the published catalog is replaced with it.
We do not promise your score will move. We give assistants something to read, and you can see whether it helps.
