How we measure this

Prompt panel

25 prompts drawn from real Google Trends and Reddit questions about AI-SEO / GEO / AEO tooling — e.g. "best AI SEO tool 2026", "Profound vs Peec AI", "how do I track brand mentions in ChatGPT?", "which tool checks Perplexity citations?".

Engines & runs

Each prompt is sent 3× to each of the four engines (LLM answers are stochastic). That's 75 responses per engine, 300 responses per week.

What counts as a citation

Brand name or root domain (e.g. optymia or optymia.xyz) appearing anywhere in the answer body — including link cards, footnote citations, and inline text. Case-insensitive, substring match.

Reproducibility

Harness: scripts/audit-ai-visibility.ts. Raw JSON per week is committed to the repo. Anyone can rerun the same prompt set and publish diverging numbers — that's the point.
