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.

Asked on every engine you bought, on your cadence.
0 absent, 40 mentioned, 80 cited, plus up to 20 for organic rank. The score on the dashboard is the average across every question and every engine.
Every plan checks ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini through their search-grounded APIs, and Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode from Google's own results page. The five often cite different pages for the same question, which is the reason to check more than one. Claude is a paid add-on. Grok is sold as a pack of 20 prompts a week, because on our own 36-question run it cited X only on sentiment questions and never on a buying or fact-check one. Copilot is not measured.
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.
All five surfaces are on Starter and Growth. Claude and the Grok pack are add-ons; see pricing.

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.
Yes, and Google AI Mode. Both are read from Google's results page for your buying questions. Google does not show an AI Overview on every search, so a question where none appeared is left out of your share of voice and counted in a separate AI Overview rate instead of being scored as a miss.
