Stat cards
Mentions and citations aren’t the same thing, and the distinction is the point of this page. A mention is the AI naming your brand in its answer; a citation is it linking your domain as a source. Being mentioned without being cited means you have brand awareness but the model isn’t treating your site as the authority — that’s a content problem. Being cited without being mentioned means your page is feeding answers that don’t credit you.
Tracked Topics
The list under Tracked Topics — “Keywords monitored for AI visibility across search engines” — is what gets checked on each snapshot.Add topics
Click Add Topics and enter keywords in the textarea, one per line or comma-separated. Both separators work, so pasting a list from anywhere is safe. Topics are seeded automatically when a project is created, so the list won’t be empty on a new project.Pause a topic
Toggle a topic to pause it. Paused topics stop being snapshotted but keep their history, and appear dimmed in the list. Useful when you want to reduce cost without losing the record.Remove a topic
Confirm “Are you sure you want to remove ’…’? This will stop tracking AI visibility for this keyword.” This deletes the topic’s history — pause instead if you might want it back.Choosing topics
Topics are the subjects you want to be the answer for, phrased the way someone would ask:- “best rank tracking tool for agencies” works — a real question with room for a vendor in the answer.
- “rank tracking” is too broad. The answer will be a definition and won’t cite vendors.
- Your brand name works only as a control, to confirm the system finds you at all.
Schedule
Click Settings to open the AI Visibility Schedule panel: Frequency (Every day / Every 3 days / Once a week), a Check Hour, and a Timezone. GEO defaults to daily at 00:00 UTC, matching every other schedule on a new project. The Timezone is applied, and cadences are intervals from the last run rather than calendar rules. See How data collection works. Each snapshot queries AI platforms for every active topic, so cost scales with topic count multiplied by frequency. Twenty topics checked daily is 600 checks a month.GEO vs. AI search
Use GEO to measure progress and AI search to diagnose a specific answer.
