How do you know if AI is recommending you?
You can't fix what you can't see. Tracking whether AI engines mention and cite you turns GEO from guesswork into a measurable, improvable program.
What should you measure?
Three things: mention rate (how often AI answers name you for relevant prompts), citation rate (how often it links your site), and position (where you appear when it does). Track them across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity for the questions your customers actually ask.
How do you track it simply?
Start manual: keep a short list of your key prompts and check them on a schedule, logging whether you appear. Tools are emerging to automate this, but the habit matters more than the tooling. Pair it with a free AI Visibility Check for a baseline.
