A simple AI visibility test compared responses for the same name using the same model in two conditions: logged-in session and incognito mode.

Logged in, the full professional profile appeared consistently. In incognito, visibility dropped and in some cases disappeared entirely.

The test suggests that contextual layers play a significant role in generative search outputs.

If visibility collapses without session context, the real question is whether brand authority alone is enough — or if traditional link equity still anchors recognition in AI systems.
