AI Visibility Reporting & Exports Explained

Understand all AI Visibility reporting options: dashboards, exports, Looker Studio connector, and API access. Learn how to turn AI visibility data into executive-ready reports.

Updated this week

What it is

AI Visibility reporting gives you multiple ways to access, analyze, and share your AI search performance data.

You can:

  • View live dashboards inside Keyword.com

  • Share read-only dashboard links

  • Export raw data to CSV or Google Sheets

  • Connect directly to Looker Studio

  • Access data programmatically via API

This flexibility allows you to move from quick insights to fully automated BI reporting.


Why it matters

AI visibility is not just ranking, it’s:

  • Mentions inside AI-generated answers

  • Position within conversational responses

  • Sentiment and tone

  • Citations and authority signals

  • Model-specific performance

Because AI search is probabilistic and multi-model, reporting needs to:

  • Track trends over time

  • Separate engine performance

  • Combine visibility + sentiment

  • Scale into executive and client reporting

Strong reporting turns AI Visibility from an experimental metric into a strategic KPI.


How reporting works in AI Visibility

There are five reporting methods available:

1. In-platform dashboards

The AI Visibility Overview page provides real-time performance dashboards including:

  • Visibility score

  • Sentiment score

  • Mentions

  • Citations

  • Detection rate

  • Average position

  • Top 3 visibility

  • Brand comparisons

  • Topic performance

  • AI engine performance

All dashboards respond to filters:

  • AI engine

  • Topic

  • Aggregation level

  • Time range

You can also click Show data table below charts to view underlying data.

Best for:

  • Weekly monitoring

  • Internal reviews

  • Quick performance checks


2. Shared live dashboards

You can generate a read-only public link to any dashboard view.

When sharing, you can:

  • Select visible tabs

  • Lock filters (fixed reporting view)

  • Allow filter adjustments

  • Set link expiration

  • Revoke access anytime

Best for:

  • Executive reporting

  • Client reporting

  • Cross-team visibility

Full setup explained in: Sharing AI Visibility dashboards.


3. Raw data exports (CSV & Google Sheets)

You can export filtered AI Visibility data directly from multiple sections of the platform.

Exports are available in: Search Terms tab, Competitors tab, Citations tab & Sentiment tab

All exports respect your active filters (AI engine, topic, time range, aggregation, etc.).


Exporting from Search Terms

The Search Terms tab works slightly differently from other sections.

To export:

  1. Go to Search Terms

  2. Select one or more search terms using the checkboxes

  3. Click Export

  4. Choose:

    • CSV

    • Google Sheets

  5. Select your date range

  6. Confirm export

When exporting from Search Terms, you can define the exact date range for the data included. This is useful for:

  • Monthly reporting

  • Quarterly analysis

  • Comparing specific campaign windows

Search Terms exports typically include:

  • Search term

  • Topic

  • AI engine

  • Visibility score

  • Sentiment score

  • Mentions

  • Detection rate

  • Citations

  • Position metrics

  • Run history (depending on selected range)


Exporting from Competitors, Citations, and Sentiment

In the following tabs, export works directly from the page view:

  • Competitors tab

  • Citations tab

  • Sentiment tab

To export:

  1. Apply your filters (engine, topic, date range, etc.)

  2. Click Export

  3. Choose CSV or Google Sheets

These exports include the data currently reflected in your filtered view.

Depending on the section, exported data may include:

From Competitors

From Citations

From Sentiment

  • Brand names

  • Visibility score per brand

  • Detection rate

  • Mentions

  • Sentiment

  • Position metrics

  • Engine-specific comparisons

  • Domains cited

  • URLs

  • Associated brands

  • Citation counts

  • Distribution metrics

  • Time-based citation data

  • Brand sentiment score

  • Positive / Neutral / Negative breakdown

  • Mention counts

  • Sentiment-driving keywords

  • Engine and source type


Performance note for large exports

For large datasets or extended time ranges, CSV generation may take longer to process.

This is especially true when:

  • Exporting many search terms

  • Selecting long historical date ranges

  • Exporting high-volume citation data

If your export is large, allow additional time for the file to generate.

For ongoing automated reporting across large datasets, consider using:

  • The Looker Studio connector

  • The AI Visibility API

These methods are more scalable than repeated large CSV exports.


4. Looker Studio connector (live BI reporting)

The AI Visibility Looker Studio connector allows you to connect your data directly to Looker Studio without manual exports.

With the connector, you can:

  • Build fully automated dashboards

  • Blend AI Visibility with SEO, paid media, GA, GSC, or CRM data

  • Create executive-ready reports

  • Maintain always-updated dashboards

Best for:

  • Client reporting at scale

  • Cross-channel dashboards

  • Enterprise BI setups

  • Automated reporting workflows

Detailed setup and fields explained in the dedicated Looker Studio article.


5. API access (programmatic reporting)

The AI Visibility API provides direct programmatic access to your data.

With the API, you can:

  • Pull visibility metrics automatically

  • Integrate into internal systems

  • Feed custom dashboards

  • Trigger alerts or automations

  • Store data in your own warehouse

Best for:

  • Data teams

  • Advanced analytics setups

  • Custom reporting platforms

  • Product or alert integrations

The API allows maximum flexibility and control over how your AI Visibility data is consumed.

Full documentation available in the API section.


What data can be reported

Depending on the method, you can access:

Brand-level metrics

  • Visibility score

  • Sentiment score

  • Detection rate

  • Mentions

  • Citations

  • Average position

  • Top 3 visibility

Trend data

  • Visibility over time

  • Sentiment distribution over time

  • Engine-level performance

  • Topic-level breakdown

Term-level data

  • Individual search term performance

  • Run frequency

  • Latest vs average metrics

  • Execution history


How filters affect reporting

All reporting methods (dashboards, exports, connector, API queries) are affected by:

  • AI engine

  • Topic

  • Aggregation

  • Time range

  • Inclusion/exclusion of empty brand results

Be deliberate with filters before exporting or sharing.

For example:

  • Executive report β†’ All engines, last 30 days

  • Engine comparison β†’ Separate report per AI model

  • Topic deep dive β†’ Filter to specific topic


What to expect

AI Visibility reporting reflects AI model behavior.

Expect:

  • Minor fluctuations across runs

  • Differences between AI engines

  • Variation between short-term and long-term averages

Focus on:

  • Directional trends

  • Sustained improvements

  • Competitive movement

  • Visibility + sentiment together

Avoid overreacting to single-run changes.
