AHOD — Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What is AI brand monitoring?

Accepted Answer

AI brand monitoring is the practice of tracking how your brand is mentioned, described, ranked, and recommended by large language models (LLMs) including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Llama. Unlike social media monitoring, AI brand monitoring analyzes what AI assistants generate when users ask about products and services in your category. AHOD provides real-time AI brand monitoring across all major LLMs with AI Visibility Scores, Share of Voice analytics, and competitive intelligence.

Question 2

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand's presence in AI-generated responses from large language models — the AI equivalent of traditional SEO. GEO focuses on building the signals that influence LLM training data and brand retrieval: Wikipedia presence, JSON-LD structured data markup, authoritative press coverage, G2 and Capterra reviews, community presence on Reddit and forums, and high-quality citable content. AHOD measures your current GEO performance and provides prioritized recommendations to improve it.

Question 3

How do I get my brand mentioned by ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?

Accepted Answer

To improve your brand's visibility in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs: (1) Create a comprehensive, well-cited Wikipedia article for your brand — Wikipedia is one of the most heavily weighted LLM training sources. (2) Earn coverage in authoritative publications (DA70+ news sites, industry trade press, PR Newswire/GlobeNewswire). (3) Add JSON-LD Organization and Product schema markup to your website. (4) Build presence on G2, Capterra, and Crunchbase. (5) Participate authentically in Reddit and relevant forums. (6) Publish original research and comprehensive guides that attract citations. AHOD tracks your progress across all six LLMs and provides a prioritized action plan.

Question 4

What is AI Share of Voice?

Accepted Answer

AI Share of Voice (AI SOV) is the percentage of AI-generated responses in your product category that mention your brand, relative to competitor mentions. For example, if ChatGPT mentions your brand in 35% of relevant category queries and your top competitor in 65%, your AI SOV is 35%. AHOD tracks AI SOV in real time across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Llama — giving you a complete competitive picture of your AI visibility position.
