AI visibility is the measure of how often, how accurately, and how favorably AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini mention or recommend your brand when users ask category-relevant questions. It is the AI-era equivalent of search visibility — but instead of ranking on a results page, you are being named (or not named) inside a generated answer. ### Which AI platforms do you analyze? BeRecommended covers 5 major AI platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity AI, Gemini (Google), and Google AI Overviews. Together these represent the overwhelming majority of consumer and B2B AI-assisted discovery today. ### How is GEO different from SEO? SEO optimizes for crawlers and keyword rankings on a search results page. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes for being cited, mentioned, and recommended inside AI-generated answers. SEO measures positions; GEO measures share of voice in AI responses. The two are complementary, but the tactics, signals, and success metrics are different. ### How is the AI Visibility Score calculated? The 0-100 score combines several factors: presence (does the AI mention you), frequency (how often you appear across prompts), accuracy (is the information correct), sentiment (how you are described), competitive share of voice, and platform coverage breadth. The score is normalized across platforms so it is comparable over time and against competitors. ### Can I compare against competitors? Yes. Every report includes a competitor comparison showing which brands AI mentions instead of you, their share of voice in AI answers, and where they are winning citations. You can also run a separate report on any competitor URL. ### Do I need technical skills to use BeRecommended? No. Enter a brand name or URL and the report is generated for you. There is nothing to install, no schema to write, no code to deploy. The recommendations are written in plain language with clear priorities — your team (or your agency) can execute them at their own pace. ### How often should I run an analysis? For most brands, monthly or quarterly is enough to track meaningful changes. Fast-moving categories or brands actively running a GEO program may want bi-weekly checks. Enterprise customers get continuous tracking with historical trends. ### Is my data secure? Yes. We only query public AI platforms with public brand/URL inputs. We do not require access to your website, analytics, CMS, or any private system. Reports are stored securely and are only visible to you. ### What does a typical report look like? A typical report opens with the headline AI Visibility Score (0-100), followed by a per-platform breakdown chart, then sections covering brand mentions, sentiment, competitor share of voice, citation sources, and a prioritized action list. Reports are delivered as an interactive web view and a downloadable PDF. ## Core Product: AI Visibility Report The AI Visibility Report is a comprehensive analysis that reveals: ### 1.
