AI SEO Rank Trackers are Stupid, Here's What to Do Instead…
Visibility dashboards are the new vanity metric. Sam explains the 95/5 rule, the four money-keyword types worth tracking, and why direct and branded search are the real AI-search signals.
What we cover
- Why AI visibility trackers are the new vanity metric, citing brand mentions against long-tail prompts that don’t represent real buyers
- The 95/5 rule: only ~5% of your TAM is in-market at any time, so exhaust the bottom of the funnel first
- The four money keyword and money prompt types worth tracking: “best X software”, vendor vs. vendor, competitor alternatives, niche problems and integrations or verticals
- Dark SEO and dark AI search: LLMs rarely send traffic, so the credit shows up as direct or branded search instead
- The three-pronged tracking approach: classic SEO metrics, AI visibility tied to revenue prompts, and self-reported attribution on demo forms and sales calls
- The 90-day proof points from Fibler and Breaking B2B itself going from invisible to consistently recommended in ChatGPT
