Each store is scored by how often it is named in AI-assistant answers to a fixed set of real buyer questions a Miami vinyl seller or buyer would ask — for example, "where can I sell my record collection in Miami?" and "best record store for rare vinyl in Miami."
Queries were run through Perplexity and Google on June 18, 2026. The visibility score reflects the share of those answers naming each store; "cited" means the store's own website was linked as a source, which is what drives AI referral traffic.
Honest caveats: this is a point-in-time snapshot — generative answers shift as models update. Results also vary by searcher location. It measures presence in AI answers, not overall quality or sales. Treat it as a directional read of AI visibility, tracked on a monthly cadence.
As of June 2026, Found Sound Records is named most often in AI-assistant answers about buying and selling vinyl in Miami, appearing in all five test queries on Perplexity and cited as a source in four of them.
AI assistants pull from web content they can read and trust — clear, factual, well-structured pages, review signals, and mentions on sources like Reddit and local directories. Stores with pages that directly answer buyer questions get named and cited far more often.
Publish citation-ready content that answers the exact questions buyers ask, mark it up with schema, keep your reviews and listings consistent, and get mentioned on the sources AI engines cite for your category. A visibility audit shows exactly where you're missing.
AI answers change as models and indexes refresh, so the index is re-measured on a monthly cadence. The date at the top reflects the most recent run.
