Perplexity visibility is how often Perplexity cites your pages in its answers. Perplexity searches the web for most questions and shows numbered sources, so it favors pages it can crawl, that state specific current facts, and that are backed up by other reputable sites on the same topic.
Why it matters now
Perplexity's own crawler is PerplexityBot, and it often cites several pages per answer. Fresh, specific pages with dates, numbers and named sources get picked more than vague marketing copy.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Perplexity not citing our site?
The most common causes are blocked crawlers, content hidden behind JavaScript, outdated facts, or topics where competitors have more third-party coverage. The source map shows which one applies to you.
Does Perplexity use Google?
Perplexity runs its own crawling and indexing and combines it with other search sources. We optimize for its crawler directly rather than assuming Google rankings carry over.
