What is AI search visibility and how do I measure it?
AI search visibility is how often ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite your brand when users describe a problem or need. Measure it by running the exact prompts your customers ask, then tracking which pages get named, linked, or paraphrased across each engine. SEObolt's LLM Rankings tool automates this across all five major AI engines: you enter a prompt, we run it daily and log every mention (primary citation, secondary reference, indirect paraphrase) with historical trends.
How do I know if ChatGPT or Perplexity cites my brand?
The only reliable way is to run the queries your customers actually ask and check the answers. SEObolt tests thousands of prompts a day across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and DeepSeek. You configure the prompts that matter to your business, and we track whether your brand appears as a primary citation (linked source), a secondary mention (named without link), or an indirect reference (paraphrased). Historical trend charts show whether your visibility is climbing or declining week-over-week.
What is GEO Score and how is it different from an SEO score?
GEO Score measures how well a page is optimized for AI search citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Traditional SEO scores measure how well a page ranks for Google's blue-link results. GEO Score analyzes 37 factors across six categories (Content Structure, Evidence & Citations, Technical Accessibility, Authority & E-E-A-T, Content Freshness, and Writing Quality) based on peer-reviewed research from Princeton, Georgia Tech, and UC Berkeley. Pages scoring above 70 get cited roughly 3x more often than pages below 50.
Is SEObolt an alternative to Semrush or Ahrefs for AI search?
SEObolt is built for AI search. Semrush and Ahrefs focus on traditional Google rankings and don't track AI engine citations directly. If your workflow is keyword rank tracking, backlinks, and site audits for Google organic, both tools handle that well. If you need to know whether ChatGPT recommends your brand, whether Perplexity cites your pages, or how to optimize content for AI Overviews, SEObolt is currently the only dedicated platform. Plans start at $29/mo with every AI tool included.
How is SEO different from GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
SEO optimizes pages to rank in Google's traditional blue-link results, where users then click through to your site. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes pages to be cited inside AI-generated answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, where the AI paraphrases or names your content directly. Both matter: 93.7% of AI Overview citations come from pages outside the traditional top 10 Google rankings, meaning strong SEO no longer guarantees strong AI visibility.
