Question 1

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and how is it different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your brand's visibility in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional SEO which optimizes for Google's ranking algorithm, GEO focuses on how AI models retrieve and cite information. While SEO tracks rankings, GEO tracks citation paths—the exact Reddit threads, Wikipedia pages, and sources that power AI responses. This is why Targetlytics uses forensic investigation rather than basic monitoring.

Question 2

How is Targetlytics different from Peec.ai, Otterly, or The Prompting Företag?

Accepted Answer

While competitors like Peec.ai and Otterly show you VAR you appear, Targetlytics reverse-engineers VARFÖR you rank. We use N-Sampling Methodology™ (querying 10x for 99% accuracy) instead of single probes that are often statistical flukes. Unlike The Prompting Företag's dangerous automation that risks bans, we provide human-in-the-loop Strategic Intelligence Briefs with Reddit norms and Wikipedia editor consensus. Most importantly, we're the only platform with deterministic Brand Constitution verification to eliminate hallucinations—competitors can't detect if AI is still lying about your brand.

Question 3

Is this going to get my brand banned from Reddit or Wikipedia?

Accepted Answer

No. Targetlytics prioritizes safety through human-in-the-loop Strategic Intelligence Briefs. Unlike automated tools that risk bans, our briefs provide the "battlefield intelligence" you need—Reddit community norms, Wikipedia editor consensus, and platform-specific guidelines—so humans can act without violating terms of service. We never automate actions that could get you banned. Our approach is investigation and intelligence, not dangerous automation.

Question 4

What is a Brand Constitution and why do I need it first?

Accepted Answer

A Brand Constitution is your verified source of truth that eliminates AI hallucinations. It establishes your brand identity, market positioning, target audience, and authoritative citation sources (Wikipedia, G2, official docs). When AI platforms hallucinate facts about your brand—like incorrect pricing or features—your Constitution acts as a deterministic verification layer. This is the only way to ensure AI responses about your brand are accurate. Without it, you're just monitoring errors without the ability to correct them.

Question 5

How do you ensure the data isn't a fluke? What is N-Sampling?

Accepted Answer

Our N-Sampling Methodology™ queries AI models 10 times for each search query, providing a 99% accuracy score. This eliminates the statistical flukes that plague single-probe monitoring tools. While competitors like Peec.ai use "single probes" that can be one-off anomalies, we guarantee your data represents true visibility patterns. The N-Sampling Consistency Score (0-100%) shows how reliably your brand appears across multiple queries, not just a single check.

Question 6

What is Share of Model (SoM) and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Share of Model (SoM) is your brand's market share of AI visibility—similar to Share of Voice in traditional marketing. It measures what percentage of AI responses in your category mention your brand versus competitors. Unlike simple "mention tracking," SoM provides enterprise-grade benchmarking that correlates directly to revenue and traffic. Our Attribution Engine shows how SoM gains translate to actual business impact—the "Google Analytics for AI Discovery."

Question 7

How does Citation Path Tracing work?

Accepted Answer

Citation Path Tracing reverse-engineers why competitors rank in AI results. When a competitor appears #1 in Perplexity, we trace the exact citation chain back to source material—the specific Reddit thread, Wikipedia entry, or G2 review powering that result. This is the "why" behind every ranking, intelligence that competitors can't get anywhere else. It reveals stale citations (3+ years old) that are ripe for replacement and shows you exactly where to focus your content efforts.

Question 8

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive your free AI visibility report within 24 hours, showing your current SoM, top 3 competitors, and 5 immediate actions. For ongoing monitoring and forensics, results appear in real-time with 15-minute refresh cycles. Strategic Intelligence Briefs are delivered within 48 hours of identifying opportunities. Most customers see measurable SoM improvements within 30-60 days of implementing recommendations, with an average 3.2x increase after 90 days.
