Frequently asked questions

Find answers to the most common questions

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

SEO and GEO share the same fundamentals (quality content, technical structure), but differ in several ways:

  • Goal: SEO aims for a ranking in a list. GEO aims to be cited as a trusted source in a conversation.
  • Format: SEO optimizes for snippets and pages. GEO optimizes for complete conversational answers.
  • Measurement: SEO measures rankings. GEO measures mentions, sentiment and citation context.
  • Technical: AI crawlers have different technical requirements (performance, HTML structure, accessibility to AI crawlers).

What is a GEO tool?

A GEO tool measures a brand's presence in AI assistant answers (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, etc.). It tracks prompts that represent your customers, records mentions, sentiment and cited sources, and compares your visibility with your competitors'.

What is a "prompt" in a GEO tool?

A prompt is a GEO visibility query you track over time. Example: "What is the best CRM for small businesses in France?" It runs automatically on the AI engines covered by your plan, at the frequency your plan provides. The number of included prompts is one of the main pricing criteria for the tools in this comparison.

Which AI visibility tool offers a free plan?

Among the tools compared, ResonanceMetrics offers a permanent free plan with no card (3 prompts, 5 engines, monthly tracking) and Qwairy a free plan with 120 credits and no card. Profound, Meteoria and Otterly.AI offer 7-day trials, and Peec AI a free trial.

How do you track your brand in ChatGPT?

Every tool in this comparison tracks ChatGPT. The principle is the same: define a list of prompts your customers might ask, then regularly measure whether your brand appears, how it is described and which sources are cited.

Daily or weekly tracking: what is the difference?

Daily tracking detects changes faster, which helps with a large prompt volume or a highly competitive sector. Weekly tracking is often enough to see a trend and run an action plan.

Does a GEO tool replace my SEO agency?

No, they are complementary. Your SEO agency optimizes for Google; a GEO tool like ResonanceMetrics helps you optimize for AI engines. Your marketing agency produces content; GEO helps structure it so AI can understand and cite it.
