Frequently asked questions
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is the practice of optimizing your brand and content so AI assistants - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews - mention, describe and cite you accurately when people ask them questions. Unlike traditional SEO, the goal is not a blue-link ranking; it is being the answer the AI gives. Suparank measures your AI visibility and shows you what to fix.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is optimizing content so generative AI engines can find, understand and quote it in their answers. It overlaps with SEO but adds a new bar: your key facts need to be extractable, well structured and backed by clear schema so a model can cite them with confidence.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is about getting your content surfaced as the direct answer in AI assistants and answer engines, rather than one link among ten. In practice AEO and GEO overlap heavily - both are about earning the citation inside the AI-generated answer.
What is AI visibility, and how do I check it?
AI visibility is how often and how accurately AI assistants mention and cite your brand when people ask relevant questions. To check it, Suparank runs those questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, then tracks your mentions, sentiment, share of voice, and who gets cited instead of you.
Will GEO replace SEO?
No - GEO is a layer on top of SEO, not a replacement. The same technical foundations that help you rank also help models cite you. Suparank pairs GEO and technical audits with AI visibility tracking so you can improve both at once, without rank tracking.
How do I get cited by ChatGPT?
Make your key facts easy to extract, answer real questions clearly, add accurate schema markup, and earn mentions in the sources models trust. The Suparank GEO audit surfaces exactly what is blocking citations on your site, and its visibility tracker confirms whether your fixes changed how often ChatGPT cites you.
What is a GEO audit?
A GEO audit checks whether AI models can find, parse and trust your content well enough to cite it. It covers the technical fundamentals a search crawler cares about, plus GEO-specific checks - extractable facts, schema coverage and clear answers - then hands you a fix list ranked by likely impact on your AI visibility.
Is SEO dead or evolving in 2026?
SEO is not dead - it is expanding. Search is shifting from ten blue links toward AI-generated answers, so the work now includes GEO and answer engine optimization alongside classic SEO. Suparank is the AI SEO platform built for that shift: measure your AI visibility, fix what is blocking it, and win the citation.
Does Suparank do keyword rank tracking?
No. Suparank does not track keyword rankings. It measures how AI assistants answer, then connects that to your real GA4 and Search Console data so you can act on it.
Which AI assistants does Suparank cover?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity - with mentions, position, sentiment and share of voice tracked over time - plus Google AI Overviews.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Connect your Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, add your domain, and work from a chat-first workspace. There is nothing to install.
