SEARCH VISIBILITY RESEARCH · Workflow idea

See where your site appears in generated search answers.

Start with a list of search phrases and a website to monitor. For each phrase, record whether an answer summary appears, which sources it cites, and whether your site is among them. Use the record as a time-bound visibility check—not a guarantee of ranking or traffic—and have a person verify important findings before changing a marketing plan or publishing claims about performance.

The handoff

A dated search visibility record for each phrase, including answer presence, cited source references, and whether the site appears.

Keep in mind

Search results can vary by place, time, and query wording, and a single check cannot establish broad visibility or business impact. Verify results and dates, keep the search context with the record, and require a person to approve performance claims, budget decisions, or public reporting based on the findings.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose search phrases and a domain

Define the phrases that reflect the site’s goals and confirm the exact domain to compare.

Set the review schedule and context

Decide how often to check and record relevant timing or location differences.

Choose fields for a useful history

Keep the phrase, date, answer presence, cited sources, domain inclusion, and reviewer notes together.

Assign interpretation and reporting owners

Name who verifies changes and who approves consequential marketing decisions or public reports.
