GEO Score — your AI search visibility, scored.

Every day, your customers ask ChatGPT and Gemini questions your product should answer. Vizil shows you exactly how visible you are — and where you're invisible.

What we measure

AI search is a different game from traditional SEO.

When someone Googles your category, they see a list of results. When they ask ChatGPT the same question, they get a direct answer — with a short list of named tools. If you're not in that list, you don't exist.

Traditional SEO rankings don't predict AI visibility. A page can rank on page 1 in Google and still never be cited by ChatGPT. The factors that drive AI citations are different: authoritative external links, clear factual content, FAQ schema, entity recognition.

Vizil's GEO Score is the first metric purpose-built to measure this. It probes both OpenAI and Google Gemini — because a brand that appears in one and not the other has a gap worth understanding.

The methodology

4 query categories. 2 engines. One score.

Vizil probes both ChatGPT and Google Gemini with queries across all four categories. Each probe returns a real response, which is analyzed for brand presence, accuracy, citation, and competitive position.

1

Brand Direct

"Tell me about [Brand]" / "What is [Brand]?"

The baseline: does the AI know you exist and describe you correctly? This tests whether your brand has sufficient presence in AI training data and cited sources to generate an accurate response.

2

Category Leader

"Best tools for [category]" / "Top [category] software"

Do you appear when AI models name the leading products in your space? This is where most B2B SaaS companies are completely invisible — and where the highest-value AI traffic comes from.

3

Problem Aware

"How do I [problem your product solves]?"

When someone describes a problem you solve and asks for help, does your brand surface as a solution? These are high-purchase-intent queries — missing here means losing potential buyers at the decision stage.

4

Competitor Comparison

"[Brand] vs [Competitor]" / "Compare [Brand] and [Competitor]"

When your competitor is named alongside you, how does the AI characterize the comparison? Are your advantages accurately represented, or does the AI default to your competitor's positioning?

Sub-score breakdown

4 sub-scores that tell you exactly what to fix.

A composite GEO Score hides where the problem is. The sub-scores show you which specific lever to pull first.

71
Brand Visibility
Mention presence across all probes

How often your brand name or product is mentioned in AI responses across all 12 probe queries. A low score here means AI models rarely cite or mention you, regardless of query type.

How to improve

Build external citations — press mentions, product reviews, directory listings, and comparison articles that name your brand. AI models learn from cited sources.

68
Mention Accuracy
Factual correctness of AI descriptions

Whether AI models describe your product, pricing, features, and positioning accurately when they do mention you. Inaccurate mentions can be worse than no mention — they send people to the wrong place.

How to improve

Add FAQ schema to your homepage and key pages. Write clear, factual "What is [Brand]?" content that AI can cite directly.

44
Citation Quality
Source citation rate and authority

Whether AI models cite your website, blog posts, or documentation as sources in their responses. Low citation quality means AI is learning about you secondhand — from review sites, not from you directly.

How to improve

Publish authoritative long-form content with clear headings AI can parse. Add structured data markup. Get high-quality backlinks from industry sources.

51
Competitive Advantage
Relative positioning vs. competitors

How you rank relative to named competitors in AI responses. Are your differentiators represented? Are you framed as an alternative, a leader, or barely mentioned alongside stronger competitors?

How to improve

Publish detailed comparison pages ("You vs. Competitor") with specific, factual differences. These are heavily cited by AI models in comparison queries.

Frequency

Track your score daily — because AI search changes fast.

AI models are updated frequently. A competitor publishing new content, a product review site updating their rankings, or a blog post mentioning your category can shift your GEO Score within weeks.

Vizil runs your GEO Score on your plan's schedule — monthly on Free, weekly on Starter, daily on Growth — and shows you the trend over time so you can connect actions to score changes.

FAQ

GEO Score questions.

A GEO Score (Generative Engine Optimization Score) is a 0–100 metric that measures how visible your brand is in AI-powered search engines — specifically ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Google Gemini. Vizil probes both engines simultaneously and produces a composite score with four sub-scores: Brand Visibility, Mention Accuracy, Citation Quality, and Competitive Advantage.
Vizil sends structured queries to both ChatGPT (via OpenAI API) and Google Gemini simultaneously. Each query falls into one of four categories: Brand Direct, Category Leader, Problem Aware, and Competitor Comparison. The responses are analyzed for mention presence, factual accuracy, source citations, and competitive positioning.
SEO measures visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). GEO measures visibility in AI-generated responses from language models. A page can rank #1 in Google and still never be mentioned by ChatGPT. The factors that drive AI citations — authoritative external sources, structured data, clear factual content — are related but distinct from traditional ranking signals.
Yes. Vizil's GEO Score output includes prioritised opportunities specific to your gaps. Common improvements include: publishing FAQ content with structured data, earning external citations from industry sites, writing comparison pages for competitor queries, and ensuring your factual product information is clearly stated on your site for AI models to extract.
