Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about AI search visibility and how Namedra works.
What is AI search visibility (GEO)?
AI search visibility, also called generative engine optimization (GEO), is how often and how favourably AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews name and cite your company when a buyer asks for vendors in your category. Full definition.
What is an AI Visibility Score?
A 0 to 100 number computed as 100 × (0.40 × mention rate + 0.25 × share of voice + 0.20 × position score + 0.15 × citation rate). Every number is traceable to a stored raw response. Formula and worked example.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO earns a ranking on a results page. GEO earns a place in a three-to-five-name answer, driven by third-party citations, consistent entity data and content that directly answers comparison questions. Roughly 40% of the tactics overlap. GEO vs SEO.
Which engines do you track?
ChatGPT (OpenAI API with web search), Perplexity (Sonar), Gemini (Google Search grounding), Claude (web search) and Google AI Overviews. The tracker uses an adapter per engine, so new engines are added without changing the reports.
Do APIs reflect what buyers actually see?
Mostly. The APIs share the models and the search index with the consumer apps, but not their exact system prompts, memory or personalisation. We run each prompt three times, state the model used, and keep every raw answer so the sample is honest rather than cherry-picked.
How much does it cost?
Audit: €490 one-off. Growth: €3,500 per month. Scale: €8,000 per month. Month to month, no minimum term. Pricing.
How long until results show up?
New citations typically appear in Perplexity and ChatGPT within 4 to 8 weeks of the source being published and indexed. Google AI Overviews and training-data effects take longer, which is why we track monthly rather than promise a date.
What do you actually do each month?
Re-run the prompts, diff the results, and ship the top fixes: comparison and alternatives pages, review-site campaigns, community answers, entity and schema clean-up, and original data pieces. You get a digest under 200 words and the full report. How it works.
Who is this for?
B2B software companies with a defined category and named competitors, typically 20 to 500 employees, where the marketing lead can act on a fix list. It is not for consumer brands or companies without a category to be shortlisted in.
Can you guarantee we will be recommended?
No. Nobody controls AI answers. We guarantee the measurement is honest, the raw answers are yours, and the work ships every month. You can cancel any month.
