## 1. What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing a brand's digital presence to be accurately represented, mentioned, and cited by AI-powered search engines and language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on search engine rankings, GEO ensures AI systems recommend and reference your brand when users ask relevant questions.

GEO is rapidly becoming a critical marketing discipline because:
- Over 40% of product research now begins with AI assistants rather than Google
- AI engines synthesize information from multiple sources into direct answers
- Being mentioned (or missing) from AI responses directly impacts brand discovery
- Traditional SEO tactics (backlinks, keyword density) have minimal effect on LLM outputs

  "mcpServers": {
    "auracite_geo": {
      "command": "npx",

## 6. AI Visibility Score Algorithm

The AuraCite Visibility Score (0-100) is calculated from six weighted dimensions:

| Dimension | Weight | What It Measures |
|-----------|--------|------------------|
| Position | 25% | Where the brand appears in AI rankings (Rank #1 = 25 pts, #2 = 20 pts, etc.) |
| Mention Frequency | 25% | How often the brand is named in AI responses |
| Citation Quality | 20% | Number and relevance of source URLs the AI provides |
| Sentiment | 10% | Whether AI describes the brand positively, neutrally, or negatively |
| Competitor Context | 10% | How the brand compares to competitors in the same AI response |
| Prominence | 10% | Whether the brand appears in headers, first sentences, or recommendations |

Scores >= 80 indicate strong AI visibility. Scores < 30 suggest the brand is largely invisible to AI engines.
