Questions and answers

What is AnswerMonk?

AnswerMonk is a GEO intelligence platform that measures and improves how brands appear in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. It runs your category's buyer prompts across AI engines and returns an AI share-of-voice score, competitor leaderboard, and citation source breakdown.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing a brand's visibility in AI-generated search results. Unlike traditional SEO which targets ranked URL lists, GEO focuses on how often and how prominently a brand appears within AI-generated answers. As AI search handles an increasing share of discovery queries, GEO has become essential for brand visibility.

Which AI engines does AnswerMonk analyze?

AnswerMonk analyzes ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google) and Claude (Anthropic). Engine weights in the share-of-voice score are documented on the methodology page.

What is AI share-of-voice?

AI share-of-voice measures how often your brand appears in AI engine responses for category queries relative to competitors. A score of 100 means your brand is the top-cited answer across all tested prompts and all engines. A score of 0 means AI engines never mention your brand in your category.

How long does a GEO audit take?

A full GEO audit typically completes in 3 to 8 minutes depending on the number of service segments detected and AI engine response times.

How is AnswerMonk different from Otterly, Peec AI, or other GEO tools?

AnswerMonk uses an audit-first methodology — it crawls your site, generates your specific prompt network, and produces a prioritized action report rather than a monitoring dashboard. The focus is on diagnosing why AI engines are not mentioning your brand and which citation sources to target to fix it.

Is the AI visibility audit free?

Yes. The initial AI visibility audit is free — enter your domain to receive a full report including share-of-voice score, competitor rankings, and top citation sources in your category.

What are citation sources in AI search?

Citation sources are the third-party websites — review platforms, directories, industry publications — that AI engines reference when forming recommendations. Appearing on G2, Capterra, or industry publications significantly increases the likelihood of being cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.

How much does AnswerMonk cost?

The audit is free — no signup, results in 3–8 minutes. Ongoing monitoring is $19/mo per brand, currently in early access — you request it by email rather than through a checkout. Full plan details are on the pricing page.

What does AnswerMonk monitoring include?

Each month the identical prompt panel is replayed across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The plan includes per-engine appearance rate and average rank with month-over-month change, a competitor ranking comparison, citation intelligence (top cited URLs, page types and authority domains), re-audit verification of completed fixes, and a refreshed prioritized action plan. Limits: 1 brand, 1 market, monthly cadence. Additional brands $19/mo each. Weekly cadence, white-label and API are on the roadmap. See the pricing page for the full list.

How does re-audit verification work?

Every monthly re-audit replays the identical prompt panel across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Each fix you marked complete is then checked against the fresh run and stamped verified or not-moved — so you see whether a change actually shifted AI answers, not just that it shipped.

Is schema markup enough for AI visibility?

The evidence says no. In our engine runs, pages with correct schema markup are still routinely absent from AI answers when they lack the citation and entity signals engines actually select on. Schema helps machines parse a page; it does not make engines choose it. Our 2026 AI visibility tool study covers what cited pages have in common.

Do you support agencies?

Yes. Agencies run the free audit per client domain today, and there is a dedicated agency workflow — see for agencies and the agency use case. White-label reporting is described at /white-label; weekly cadence and API access are on the roadmap.
