GEO RESEARCH FOR BRANDS

When AI recommends a brand,is it yours?

GEO studies how AI assistants represent and recommend your brand when someone asks what to buy.

A 30-minute conversation to determine whether a study would be useful.

AN AI ANSWER, ANNOTATED

THE BUYER ASKS

What is the best sunscreen for children with sensitive skin?

THE ASSISTANT ANSWERS

For sensitive skin, I would start with Bloqsol Kids. Its mineral formula and SPF 50 protection are frequently recommended by dermatologists and consumer guides.

WHAT GEO MAKES VISIBLE

We measure four things in every AI answer.

We read the answer as a buyer would, then record the same signals consistently across the study.

  1. 01

    PRESENCE

    Did your brand appear?

  2. 02

    RECOMMENDATION

    Was it actively recommended?

  3. 03

    REPUTATION

    What did the assistant say about it?

  4. 04

    SOURCES

    What pages shaped the answer?

WHY ONE ANSWER IS NOT ENOUGH

Ask it again.

The same assistant can answer the same question differently. Run it twice and watch what changes.

Sample report

What the report contains

Below is a sample run for Solaria, an invented sunscreen brand sold through Mexican pharmacies. Three views of the same 540 answers. Open all three and you will end up diagnosing the brand yourself, which is the point: a score tells you a number, and this tells you what to go and do on Monday.

Rates, and what each one is a rate over

Every figure is a share of the answers it was measured in, and the denominator is printed next to it. A percentage with no population behind it is a decoration.

Solaria is mentioned in about a quarter of category answers and recommended in one in nine. The gap between those two is the whole opportunity: the assistants know the brand exists and mostly decline to suggest it.

Invented brand, invented competitors, invented figures. The structure is real; the numbers are not anyone's.

The one-pager

Everything above compresses onto one page a marketing director can carry into a meeting. What was measured, the four rates, the sources that matter, and the handful of things worth doing. Have a look at it before you decide whether any of this is useful to you.

That is the shape of what arrives. If you want to see what it would say about your category rather than an invented one, that is where a conversation starts.

The full methodology

Want to audit the method before you trust the number?

Everything above is the offer. The methodology is a page of its own, and it holds the rest: what gets counted, how the questions are written, which models get asked, how a study is sized, and where the boundaries of an honest measurement sit.

Read the methodology

Before we begin

What do you need from us?

A working session, category context and access to the people who will use the findings.

How long does it take?

Timing depends on the research scope. It is agreed before the prompt bank is frozen.

Do you implement the recommendations?

The study identifies and prioritizes actions. Implementation scope is agreed separately.

Start with the question, not the tool.

Tell us what decision your team needs to make. We will determine whether GEO measurement can inform it.
