The last year has had many of us trying to understand how to report on AI visibility and understand what it takes to be seen and cited by AI.<\/p>\n

But Rand Fishkin\u2019s latest study on AI response variability<\/a> has emphasized that LLM outputs aren\u2019t as stable and predictable as search rankings, making this KPI an inconsistent piece of the puzzle.<\/p>\n

The study found there\u2019s less than a 1 in 100 chanc<\/a>e that ChatGPT or Google AI will return the same list of brands across two responses. They analyzed thousands of prompts across multiple LLMs to highlight just how varied they are.<\/p>\n

This has left some of the SEO<\/a> community questioning the value of rank tracking at scale. But, rank tracking is far from useless. It\u2019s just misapplied.<\/p>\n

AI response tracking is an unstable performance KPI in its current state, but it becomes extremely powerful when used as an analysis tool to inform content strategy.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at why you should still be investing in prompt tracking and how it can be used to inform your content strategy.<\/p>\n

Why AI visibility tracking is unstable (for now)<\/h2>\n

LLMs aren\u2019t deterministic ranking engines. They\u2019re probabilistic language models that can gather and synthesize information from their own training data or live searches. These models use context windows and understanding of intent to serve different answers at any moment.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen that responses change based on the prompts, and we know that the same question can be written in so many different ways, which opens the door for your CMO to question why you\u2019re not showing up for a specific prompt when they just saw your brand mentioned or cited.<\/p>\n

Tracking visibility remains an area of uncertainty until there\u2019s greater clarity on user prompting. But it\u2019s still valuable.<\/p>\n

If prompt response tracking isn\u2019t a stable KPI, then what is it? It\u2019s pattern analysis, something SEOs are very familiar with.<\/p>\n

Instead of only focusing on whether or not you are cited or listed, you should be trying to understand:<\/p>\n
