## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is AI Visibility?**
AI Visibility describes how prominently and positively a brand appears in responses generated by AI systems such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional SEO which targets search engine rankings, AI Visibility determines whether a brand is mentioned, recommended, or ignored when potential customers ask AI assistants purchase-related questions.

**What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?**
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing a brand's digital presence so that generative AI systems recognize, cite, and recommend it. GEO complements traditional SEO but follows different rules: AI systems synthesize answers rather than listing links, so brands need structured content, clear entity signals, and strong external references to appear in AI-generated responses.

**What is the difference between SEO and GEO?**
Traditional SEO targets Google rankings and organic search traffic. GEO targets AI-generated answers in systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. A brand can rank on page 1 of Google and still be completely absent from AI answers – two different games with two different rules. MentionBee measures both.

**How is the MentionBee score calculated?**
The MentionBee score is a weighted composite across 6 modules: AI Visibility/LLM (30%), Positioning Clarity Index (25%), Tech SEO (15%), Schema & E-E-A-T (10%), UX & Conversion (10%), and Market Signal Score (10%). Each module is scored 0–10 and weighted accordingly to produce a total score out of 100.

**How does MentionBee differ from traditional SEO tools?**
Traditional SEO tools measure rankings, backlinks, and keyword visibility in search engines. MentionBee specifically measures whether and how a brand is recommended by AI systems – and combines this with a full website audit to identify exactly why a brand may be invisible to AI. The result is a prioritized action plan, not just a dashboard.

**How long does a MentionBee report take?**
The free report is delivered promptly by email after submission. The Deep-Dive Report is delivered within 24–48 hours.

**Is MentionBee GDPR compliant?**
Yes. MentionBee is operated by Disrupt Media, based in Zürich, Switzerland, and is designed with GDPR (DSGVO) compliance in mind. No login is required for the free report, and data is handled responsibly in accordance with Swiss (nDSG) and EU (GDPR) data protection standards.

**Who is MentionBee for?**
MentionBee is designed for startups, SMEs, B2B companies, agencies, and marketing teams who want to understand and improve their brand's visibility in AI-generated responses. It is particularly useful for brands that rely on being found and recommended in the AI-mediated customer journey.

**What competitors can I compare against?**
In the Deep-Dive Report, you can specify up to 3 competitor domains. MentionBee analyzes how competitors perform across the same AI prompts and website audit dimensions, giving you a clear competitive gap analysis.
