1. Product Overview

1.1 What is GEO?

GEO is an AI Search visibility analytics platform built for brands. As consumers increasingly rely on generative AI — ChatGPT, Doubao, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Tencent Hunyuan, and others — to research products and brands, traditional SEO is no longer enough to measure your real presence in the consumer's decision journey.

GEO simulates real user queries across generative AI models, quantifies how your brand performs in AI-generated answers, and turns the findings into concrete optimization actions.

1.2 Core Concepts at a Glance

Two concept sets recur throughout this manual. Skim them before going further.

AI Search Dimensions

GEO decomposes AI Search performance into five independent dimensions. They roll up into the AI Search Score.

Dimension What it measures
Presence Whether the brand appears in AI search responses to relevant questions.
Ranking How prominently the brand appears relative to competitors (first pick / runner-up / not mentioned).
Perception What words, attributes, and associations AI uses to describe the brand.
Persuasion Whether AI actively recommends the brand vs. just mentions it neutrally — a large commercial gap.
Consistency How evenly the brand performs across different AI models.

Search Scenarios

GEO models the five most common purchase-decision scenarios users bring to AI, and scores each one separately.

Tag Prompt theme Description
Issue "What works for my issue?" Users select products around a specific issue or desired outcome (acne / anti-aging / whitening / fragrance retention).
Moment "What should I use right now?" Users select for a specific moment, environment, or occasion (commute / date night / season change / festival gift / post-procedure).
Formulation "Is this formulation trustworthy?" Users select based on the safety or trustworthiness of ingredients, raw materials, or technology (sensitive-skin safe / pregnancy safe / FDA-approved).
Comparison "Which brand should I choose?" Cross-brand comparison (domestic vs imported / mainstream vs niche / local vs international).
Fit "What's right for someone like me?" Audience-fit queries based on identity, lifestyle, or community (student / office worker / mature / men / Gen Z).

ℹ️ About AI Search Score AI Search Score is a 0–100 composite calculated from the five dimensions (Presence / Ranking / Perception / Persuasion / Consistency). Higher is better. Each scenario also has its own AI Search Score, computed using only that scenario's prompts.
