Research foundation

Behind the numbers: uncovering real AI search queries.

What types of search queries did we run?

We reverse-engineered actual user queries instead of guessing what people search for.

  • Awareness search queries:

    users are problem-aware, but not solution-aware

    (e.g. "Best way to make quick healthy dinners on busy nights")
  • Consideration search queries:

    users are weighing possible solutions

    (e.g. "Are air fryers healthier than deep fryers?")
  • Decision search queries:

    users are choosing between vendors or brands

    (e.g. "What are the best non-toxic air fryers that don't take too much counter space?")

Where did we find these queries?

We used On Target AI to identify common ways people ask questions or describe pain points, and tied them back to search intent:

Reddit & Quora mining:
We analyzed the most engaged posts and comments to extract authentic user queries.
Social Media & Review sites:
We looked at real product reviews and active social media communities to find common ways people describe their issues, or ask questions.
Audience research:
We reviewed survey responses, interview transcripts, and customer support logs from a leading Air Fryer brand to uncover additional queries buyers actually use.

The result?

A dataset grounded in real-world conversations and customer intent - not assumptions or keyword tools.

Frequently
asked questions

What is the AI Visibility Leaderboard?

The AI Visibility Leaderboard ranks Air Fryer brands based on how prominently they appear in AI-generated answers across tools like ChatGPT. It's a snapshot of which brands are most visible when users ask questions about Air Fryer at different stages of their buying journey.

How does the AI Visibility Leaderboard work?

Every day, we run prompts across three buyer-intent stages: Awareness, Consideration, and Decision. We record which brands AI mentions, how frequently they appear, and in what context. Those results are then aggregated into a visibility score and ranking that reflects how dominant each brand is across AI search experiences.

What does the AI Visibility Leaderboard measure?

It measures how frequently and favorably brands are referenced by AI models when people ask questions about Air Fryer. Higher visibility means a brand is more likely to be surfaced in AI recommendations, similar to ranking higher in search engine results.

How do you measure AI Visibility?

AI Visibility is measured by two key metrics: 1. AI visibility score: Measures how often each brand appears in AI responses as a percentage of total responses the brand was mentioned in. 2.Average position: Your average rank in AI recommendation lists.

How often is the AI Visibility Leaderboard being updated?

We update the leaderboard weekly, but our system runs all prompts daily to capture any changes in how AI engines answer over time.

Why don't I see my company in the rankings?

Our public leaderboard only displays the top 10 Air Fryer brands based on their AI Visibility Scores. If your brand doesn't appear, it likely means it didn't make the top 10 for this category during the time period of the analysis, even if it ranked close (for example, #11 or #12). Your brand may still be mentioned by ChatGPT in responses and could appear in the top 20 or top 30 when looking at the full dataset.

How accurate are these rankings?

Our rankings are based on daily, repeatable, and unbiased testing using consistent prompts and evaluation criteria. While AI variability does exist, we run ongoing daily queries to smooth out fluctuations and ensure reliable trends, reflecting authentic user experiences.

Can I request a new category?

Yes! We're continuously expanding into new verticals. If you'd like to see your industry or niche analyzed next, reach out through our contact form to submit a category request.

Is the AI Visibility Leaderboard free?

Yes, the public version of the leaderboard is free to explore. Deeper insights, including brand-level trend reports and citation source breakdowns, are available to On Target AI customers.
