See Whether AI Recommends You with MentionFox GEOFixer — Track, Target, Act

GEOFixer measures whether AI assistants name your brand and shows where the opening is: Track, Target, Act

Why brands use MentionFox for GEO visibility:

When someone asks an AI assistant "what's the best tool for social listening?" — does it name you? If not, you are losing buyers you never see. MentionFox's GEOFixer shows you where you stand: whether assistants name you, whether they link your own page, and which sources they cite. Then it points to the buyer questions where no single source owns the answer yet, so your effort goes where it has a chance.

The New SEO: AI Search Visibility

Search behavior is shifting fundamentally. Millions of consumers and professionals now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for product recommendations instead of typing queries into Google. When a marketing manager asks Perplexity "what are the best social listening tools for agencies?", the AI generates a curated list of recommendations. If your brand is not on that list, you lose the opportunity entirely — the user never sees your website, never clicks your ad, never encounters your content. The AI made the decision for them.

This is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the discipline of ensuring AI systems recommend your brand for relevant queries. Unlike traditional SEO where you optimize content and wait for search engine crawlers, GEO starts with understanding which sources assistants draw on for your category, then improving your presence in those sources. MentionFox provides the measurement; the publishing and listing work is yours.

MentionFox checks your brand's visibility across AI assistants. For each buyer question relevant to your business, you see whether the assistant names your brand, where it appears, whether your own page is linked, and which competitors it names instead. Running the same questions every week establishes your baseline and shows the trend.

Measurement alone does not change an answer, and no tool can make an assistant name you. What changes an answer over time is the material assistants draw on: accurate pages, listings, reviews, and coverage. GEOFixer makes that work easier to aim. Its Win now board lists buyer questions where no single source owns the answer yet, with the domains actually cited in those answers and how concentrated those citations are. Where one source owns an answer, new material rarely breaks in; where citations are spread across many domains, accurate, citable material has a chance.

The Track, Target, Act framework structures the process. Track runs the same visibility check every week, recording being named and being linked separately. Target picks the buyer questions where you are absent and where no single source owns the answer yet. Act is your work on those questions: publishing accurate, citable material and getting listed where the cited domains are, then reading the next checks to see whether anything changed.

Step-by-Step: GEO Optimization with MentionFox

Step 1: Define Your Target Queries

Identify the queries that matter most for your business. "Best [category] tool," "alternative to [competitor]," "[category] comparison 2026" — these are the queries where AI recommendations directly influence purchasing decisions.

Step 2: Run Visibility Baseline

MentionFox checks each target query across AI assistants. For each query, see whether your brand is mentioned, what position it holds, how it is described, and which competitors are recommended instead.

Step 3: Identify Target Gaps

Review queries where competitors are recommended but you are absent. Prioritize by business impact — high-intent queries with strong search volume where you have genuine product advantages but lack AI visibility.

Step 4: Act on the Openings

For each priority question, look at the domains the Win now board shows being cited. Publish accurate material that answers the question, and get listed or covered where those domains are. GEOFixer does not do this work for you and does not change how an assistant answers.

Step 5: Read the Weekly Checks

Track visibility for your priority questions over time. Because the questions stay the same, a change in whether you are named or linked shows up clearly, next to the dates of the work you did.

Step 6: Expand and Optimize

As initial campaigns show results, expand to additional target queries. Use social listening intelligence to identify trending topics in your industry, then add those questions to your checks early, before one source owns the answer.

Step 7: Report Results

Generate visibility reports showing the trend over time. For agencies, white-label reports show clients whether assistants name and link them, question by question.

Example Scenario: B2B SaaS GEO Optimization

A social listening SaaS runs baseline visibility checks across AI assistants for 20 target queries. Results: they are recommended in only 3 out of 20 queries (15% visibility). Their main competitor appears in 14 out of 20 (70%). For the query "best social listening tools 2026," ChatGPT recommends four competitors but not them. For "social listening for agencies," Perplexity mentions two alternatives but not their brand.

They prioritize 10 target queries based on business impact and re-run the same visibility checks every month, so each check shows which of those queries now name them and which still name only competitors.

Meanwhile, social listening detects that "AI-powered social listening" is trending on Reddit and industry blogs. They add it as a target query straight away, so the next visibility check shows whether AI assistants name them for that topic.
