What exactly is the GEO Citation Score?

The GEO Citation Score™ is a research-weighted diagnostic that measures how likely AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and others — are to cite your business when users ask category-relevant questions. Scores are composite across 6 dimensions with weights validated against 2026 GEO research from Ahrefs (75,000 brands), ConvertMate, BrightEdge, and the HubSpot 2026 State of Marketing Report.

How is this different from the free AI Visibility Readiness Quiz?

The Readiness Quiz is our entry-level 18-question assessment, ideal for first-time GEO visitors. The GEO Citation Score Self-Report is our premium pro-tier diagnostic — 28 questions across 6 research-weighted dimensions, with industry-specific power moves, platform-by-platform visibility outlook, and a 90-day action plan. Both tools coexist for different stages of the buyer journey.

What's included in the 16-page report?

Your composite GEO Citation Score with band interpretation, per-dimension score breakdowns for all 6 research-weighted dimensions, a phase-bucketed 90-day action plan with projected score lift, 3 industry-specific GEO power moves tailored to your vertical, platform visibility outlook across 6 AI engines, methodology transparency, and a clear comparison to our human-verified GEO Audit service.

How long does the quiz take?

Most buyers complete the 28 questions in 10 to 12 minutes. The quiz auto-saves your progress after each answer, so you can step away and return later without losing anything.

How do I know the methodology is credible?

Dimension weights are based on current 2026 GEO research sources. Entity & Brand Authority carries the highest weight at 25% because Ahrefs' 75,000-brand analysis found that branded web mentions correlate 0.664 with AI visibility — three times stronger than backlinks (0.218). Content structure weights are validated against ConvertMate's 2026 GEO Benchmark Study (12,500+ queries across 8,000 domains), BrightEdge's 'AI Overviews at the One-Year Mark' analysis (February 2026), the HubSpot 2026 State of Marketing Report, and Growth Memo's 2026 analysis showing 44.2% of LLM citations come from the first 30% of page text.

What if I need human verification with real AI platform spot-checks?

The self-report diagnoses your GEO readiness based on your own answers. For manual verification — where we query your category across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews with 19 real queries and document what each platform cites — see our GEO Audit & Action Plan service (starting at $1,497 discovery, fully credited toward the $3,497 Full Service).
