Glossary
AI search glossary
AI search work is already collecting vague terms. The glossary keeps Signalbat's language practical: what the term means, why it matters, and how it shows up in a daily Reading.
Answer layer
The layer of AI-generated summaries and recommendations that sits between a buyer's question and the websites they might otherwise visit.
AI visibility
How often and how accurately your brand appears in AI answers for buyer questions that matter in your category.
Source trail
The public pages, communities, reviews, and proof points that appear to shape an answer or repeated claim.
Answer drift
Small changes in AI answer wording, citations, competitor mentions, or recommendation logic over time.
How it works

Define the term
Keep the definition short enough to use in a meeting.
- 02
Show the signal
Explain how Signalbat would detect or display it.
- 03
Tie it to action
Make clear what a team should do when the term appears in a Reading.
