Straight answers about AI Search Optimization and how ModelMouth works.
Still curious? Talk to usAI Search Optimization (AISO), also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), is the practice of improving how often and how favorably your brand appears in answers from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Instead of ranking blue links, the goal is to become part of the AI's generated recommendation.
Traditional SEO optimizes to rank pages in a list of search results. GEO optimizes for how large language models retrieve, summarize, and cite information when they generate a single answer. It emphasizes authoritative citations, clear structured content, and topical authority the model can trust — not keywords and backlinks alone.
We monitor ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. ModelMouth is independent and not affiliated with any of these platforms; we simply measure and analyze how they represent your brand.
It depends on your cadence — quarterly, monthly, or weekly. Each cycle we re-run the same analysis by hand and send you an updated report, so you can see your AI visibility trend over time and act on the newest findings.
No — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. AI systems are dynamic and no one controls their output. What we guarantee is a rigorous, measurable methodology: we track your visibility, identify what's driving competitors' presence, and give you a prioritized plan to earn more recommendations over time.
Most clients see measurable movement within 60–90 days as new content is indexed and authority signals accumulate. Timelines vary by industry, competition, and starting authority — your first audit sets a realistic baseline and forecast.
