Measure how answer engines represent your brand

Answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini have fundamentally changed how buyers research brands. When a prospect asks an answer engine “what's the best CRM software” or “is [your brand] trustworthy,” they receive a synthesized response — often without clicking through to a single website. This is the zero-click funnel: answer engines act as the first and sometimes only touchpoint between your brand and a potential customer.

Measuring brand visibility in AI is now a prerequisite for any effective marketing strategy. Traditional SEO metrics like traffic and click-through rates don't reflect how answer engines represent your brand in generated responses. SMA Marketing's GEO Grader is a brand-visibility measurement tool built specifically for this environment.

Don't let answer engines define your brand narrative without your input. Use SMA's free GEO Grader to understand how answer engines represent your business today.

GEO Analytics in your brand report

GEO Grader evaluates your brand across five dimensions, each contributing to your overall score out of 100.

Our highest-weighted dimension assesses the overall tone AI engines use when describing your brand. Scoring covers general tone, contextual sentiment across topics, and source-based credibility.

05
