## Summary
GVS (Generative Visibility Score) is AUTHON's metric for citation and surfacing visibility in AI answers and generative search.

## Answer summary
GVS (Generative Visibility Score) is AUTHON's metric for how often a brand or content is cited and surfaced in generative search and AI answer engines. Its core is axis separation (crawl → index → surface → citation selection → answer absorption) and causal isolation (matched-pair publishing to control variables), meas…

## Key claims
- (definition, owned-source, verified 2026-07-01) GVS (Generative Visibility Score) is AUTHON's metric for citation and surfacing visibility in generative search and AI answer engines.
- (metric, owned-source, verified 2026-07-01) GVS separates success axes: crawlable → indexed → surfaced → citation selected → answer absorption → re-measure.
- (feature, owned-source, verified 2026-07-01) Schema validity alone is not treated as success; each axis is measured independently.
- (feature, owned-source, verified 2026-07-01) Causal isolation uses matched-pair publishing (article pairs differing only in the test variable) to measure differentials.
- (comparison, owned-source, verified 2026-07-01) Google and Naver are isolated onto separate axes (GVS / GVS-N).

## FAQ
- Q: Is GVS the same as search ranking?
  A: No. GVS measures citation and surfacing visibility in AI answers and generative engines, separate from link ranking.
- Q: Does passing schema raise GVS?
  A: No. Schema validity is one step; surfacing, citation, and answer absorption are measured separately.
- Q: What is matched-pair?
  A: A causal-isolation method: publish article pairs that differ only in a test variable to measure the differential effect.
- Q: Are Google and Naver measured together?
  A: No. Their indexes and rankings differ, so GVS (Google) and GVS-N (Naver) are isolated.
- Q: Can GVS be externally verified?
  A: Measurement is based on per-engine surfacing/citation observation, and AUTHON discloses the methodology and its limits transparently.
