Introduction

Transitioning from the data collection phase to the reporting phase is where an AI Visibility Practitioner truly adds value. While raw data from tracking tools and manual probes provides the 'what', the audit report provides the 'so what' and the 'now what'. A high-quality AI Visibility Audit report must bridge the gap between technical LLM (Large Language Model) behaviour and the client's commercial objectives. In this lesson, we will explore how to structure your findings, prioritise recommendations based on an AI-specific impact matrix, and present insights in a way that secures stakeholder buy-in.
