80 vs 40
points for a citation against a bare mention, per question per engine
datapointValue in geo/score.go: 0 if absent, 40 mentioned, 80 cited, plus up to 20 for organic rank
Being named in an answer and being cited in one are not the same outcome. A name-drop puts you in a sentence; a citation puts your domain in the source list, where it gets clicked and where the next answer is likely to retrieve you again. Most tools in this category collapse both into one "visibility" percentage.
We score them apart. A datapoint is one question on one engine: nothing if you are absent, 40 if the answer named you, 80 if it cited your domain, plus a bonus for organic rank that tops out at 100.
Where it lives: Visibility and Analytics in the dashboard, and the weekly digest email.
Basic checks Perplexity, which retrieves and cites more heavily than the others. Growth and Agency add ChatGPT. Claude and Gemini are checked through the same fan-out where grounding is available, which costs a per-request search fee and is why they sit behind a login rather than in the free tools.
An engine answering from its weights cannot cite anyone. Counting it in the denominator means a product cited by every grounded engine reads as 50% cited the moment an ungrounded one joins the fan-out. The mention rate keeps the full denominator, because being named from memory is a real and separately interesting outcome.
Every stored check keeps what the engine actually said about you. An answer that names you unfavourably is a different problem from one that omits you, and it shows up as unfavourable rather than as a win.

Open the demoAverage of all datapoints, where each datapoint is one question on one engine: 0 absent, 40 mentioned, 80 cited, plus round(20/rank) when the page ranks, capped at 100. A citation is worth roughly double a mention and top rank adds the most.
Because most products are absent from the answers in their category on day one. That is the common outcome of a first baseline, and it is the number the rest of the product exists to change.
Not directly. The rank overlap check reads Brave Search, and the AI checks run against Perplexity and ChatGPT. AI Overviews would need a different collection method and we would rather say so than imply coverage we do not have.
