FAQ

Do ecommerce sellers need a paid AI-visibility tool?+

Not always. Start by manually checking a small set of buyer-intent prompts, then pay for tooling when you need repeatable tracking.

What should a GEO tool track?+

At minimum, prompts, answer mentions, citations, competitors, date of test, and the source pages that answer engines appear to rely on.
