The problem
Your brand appears in AI answers inconsistently — sometimes recommended, often absent. You know AI visibility matters but don't have a systematic approach to improving it. Without a baseline measurement and a clear improvement framework, GEO investment is guesswork.
The solution
Answer Insight gives you the measurement foundation for an AI brand visibility improvement programme. You start with a baseline (what's your current mention rate and share of voice?), identify the gaps (which queries are you absent from?), implement GEO tactics, and track improvement — all in one dashboard.
How it works
1
Establish your AI visibility baseline
Run Answer Insight across your key query set to establish your current brand mention rate, share of voice, and sentiment scores across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
2
Identify your highest-priority query gaps
Find the queries in your category where you are absent or ranked below key competitors. Prioritise by query commercial intent and competitive importance.
3
Implement GEO content and entity improvements
Publish authoritative content targeting your gap queries, build entity signals (Wikipedia, directories, structured data), and earn citations from high-authority sources.
4
Monitor weekly for impact
Answer Insight tracks your mention rate weekly. See which improvements are moving the needle and which queries need more attention.
5
Report and iterate
Share your AI visibility trend reports with stakeholders. Iterate on the highest-impact content and entity strategies as the data guides you.
