Answer Share
The share of answers a brand appears in at all.
Industry Term
Full explanation
Answer share is the proportion of AI-generated answers on a given topic in which a particular brand appears at all, whether cited, named, or recommended.
Why this matters
It is broader than citation share, and the gap between the two shows how often a brand is mentioned without being treated as a source worth crediting.
Where this sits
Answer Share belongs to Measurement & AI Visibility, one of the seven layers of the Aingworth Glossary. How to know whether recognition is improving. Aingworth defines these plainly and does not adopt proprietary-sounding scoring language that belongs to other tools.
