Abstract

Defines the Client Website Visibility Report — an evidence-based reporting framework built for AI-mediated discovery that replaces traditional SEO reporting. Establishes the admissible evidence standard requiring all findings to be observable, verifiable, and repeatable. Documents what agencies gain: defensible reporting, the ability to counter false underperformance narratives, answers to CMO questions traditional tools cannot address, client budget protection, and high-value client retention. Documents what business owners gain: reports reflecting AI reality, protection from wrong decisions based on obsolete metrics, board-ready evidence, pipeline visibility across all 11 stages rather than endpoint-only citation data, and actionable Account Manager analysis. Explicitly defines what the report does not claim, including training inclusion assertions, model preference claims, and guaranteed visibility outcomes. Introduces the Account Manager role as professional interpreter of AI visibility evidence. Part of the AI Visibility Architecture (AIVA) framework documentation.
