How do I explain AI visibility to my board?
Give leadership one page: where you stand against named competitors, what changed since last time and the three actions you propose. Use your own repeatable measurements and label them as snapshots. No engine publishes a standard measure, so say how you measured.
Free to read, no signup. Nova drafts the one-page brief from your tracked data.
What to be careful about
No engine publishes a standard AI visibility measure, and Google notes that meeting its requirements does not guarantee results. Say plainly how you measured.
Results are not guaranteed
Google notes that meeting its requirements does not guarantee a page is crawled, indexed or served, so frame results as trends from your own measurements.
AI features and your websiteFive steps to do it yourself
Do it by hand with these steps, or hand the whole thing to Nova.
Decide the question leadership has
Ask what they want to know: are we visible, are we behind, what will it take.
Nova: suggests the questions leadership is likely to ask.
Pull your numbers
Take answer share by engine for you and rivals, and any traffic or conversion data.
Nova: pulls the latest numbers.
State what changed
List the change since last time and the actions that likely drove it.
Nova: links changes to actions you approved.
Propose three actions
Pick the three highest-impact actions with an owner and date each.
Nova: drafts three actions for your approval.
State the limits
Say how you measured, the sample size and that results are snapshots.
