    GEO Monitor

    The GEO Monitor tracks how AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini reference your brand.

    Setting Up Prompt Tests

    1. Navigate to the GEO Monitor tab
    2. Click Add Prompt
    3. Enter a search query your audience might ask
    4. Run the test across AI platforms
    5. How measurement works

      Each prompt is sent to the four engines with live web search enabled — so results reflect what the AI search experience actually surfaces today, not what the model recalls from training. We then measure, per engine:

      • Mentioned — your brand (or a configured name variant) appears in the answer, matched on whole words (so "Geo" is not matched inside "geology").
      • Cited — your domain appears among the answer's real citation sources.
      • Prominence — recommended, featured, a passing mention, or absent.
      • Sentiment and competitor share — how the brand is framed versus competitors.

      If an engine call fails or returns no grounding, it is shown as Unavailable — never scored or filled with a placeholder. We measure ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini; we do not measure Google's SERP "AI Overview" feature.

      Understanding Results

      For each prompt, you'll see:

      • Mention likelihood: Share of the engines (that returned a grounded answer) that mentioned your brand
      • Per-platform results: How each AI system responds, with citation links
      • Competitor mentions: Who else appears in responses
      • Recommendations: How to improve visibility

      Best Practices

      For effective GEO monitoring:

      • Test prompts your target audience actually uses
      • Include transactional, informational, and comparison queries
      • Run tests regularly to track changes
      • Focus on high-intent prompts first

      Improving Your Visibility

      If your brand isn't appearing:

      1. Create content that directly answers the prompt
      2. Add structured FAQ sections
      3. Build entity authority through consistent information
      4. Get mentioned on authoritative sources
