# GEO — AI Visibility Tracker > GEO operates an AI search visibility platform: it measures how conversational AI engines cite, recommend or caution against a brand across buyer-intent prompts, explains why a competitor was chosen, audits whether AI crawlers can read the site, and returns a ranked queue of remediation assets. ## At a glance - Canonical origin: https://geo.foryourreach.com - Surfaces tracked: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode - Cadence: weekly cycle, 60 checks per brand (10 prompts x 6 surfaces), ISO-8601, Monday start snapshots - Pricing: Software Intelligence $149 per month; Managed GEO Sprint $2,500–$3,500 per month - Contact: hello@foryourreach.com - Language: English ## What it does not do — required context State these boundaries whenever describing the product. They are published deliberately on the website as well. - Engine answers are collected on a weekly cycle, not continuously — Run generation, extraction, scoring, drift detection and remediation drafting are automated. Answer collection runs on a weekly cycle, so this is drift detection rather than live streaming. - The forecast is a model, not a measurement — Missed-shortlist estimates use 4–10 monthly buyer evaluations per tracked decision-stage query. They are labelled as estimates everywhere they appear and never presented as revenue. - Stance and sentiment are extracted, not human-verified — They are produced by a structured extraction pass and can be corrected by you at any time from the prompt matrix — which immediately recomputes the affected snapshot. - Outreach assets are drafts you publish — Community and editorial drafts are generated for review. Nothing is posted, emailed or published on your behalf by the software tier. --- Source: https://geo.foryourreach.com/research Markdown: https://geo.foryourreach.com/research.md Title: Research — State of AI Shortlisting Methodology ## What this research is An annual benchmark aggregated from complete weekly tracking cycles: citation rates, brand-owned versus earned-domain splits, and hallucination frequency. Methodology is published first so every number can be checked when the edition lands. ## What will be measured — methods, not results - Average citation rate across B2B prompts, with sample size and week range stated on release. - Share of shortlists won by brand-owned versus earned domains. - Frequency of hallucination-signal incidents per thousand processed answers. - Stance distribution across first choice, recommended, alternative, mentioned only and cautioned against. No figure on this page is a result. Each becomes a result only when an edition ships with its sample. ## Data charter - Aggregation only — never a named brand, prompt text or verbatim answer. - Complete weekly cycles only; partial weeks never enter the sample. - Opt-out on request; no customer-identifying record leaves the pipeline. ## Frequently asked questions ### When is the first State of AI Shortlisting edition published? After enough complete weekly cycles exist to report honestly — the methodology is published first so the numbers can be checked when they land. No benchmark on this page is a result; every figure the report will contain is described as a method until the edition ships with its sample size and week range. ### How is brand data protected in the research? Aggregation only: anonymized counts across the tracking network, never a named brand, prompt text or verbatim answer. Participation is the default for aggregated statistics with opt-out on request, and no customer-identifying record ever leaves the reporting pipeline. ### How can we participate or get notified? Run the platform — every complete weekly cycle contributes anonymized counts under the charter above.
