FAQ
Questions, answered.
GEO is the practice of making your content more likely to be surfaced and cited inside AI-generated answers. Where SEO optimizes for ranking in search results, GEO optimizes for being the source an AI engine quotes when it answers a question.
Be genuinely citable: publish clear, well-structured pages with statistics, direct quotations, and linked sources on the exact questions buyers ask, and earn mentions on the community sources models trust. Mentionova shows which pages and prompts to prioritize first.
It varies by engine, but community and review sources, Reddit chief among them, punch far above their weight, while many traditional outlets barely register. Our research breaks the citation share down engine by engine.
Constantly. Engines ship model updates and reweight their sources frequently, which is why one-off checks go stale fast and continuous tracking matters.
