verification methodology
This page is the firewall. Everything below is how we verify brands, what the tiers mean, and the lines we will not cross — published so anyone can hold us to it.
Note on the name: GEO here means Generative Engine Optimization — making brands visible and citable in AI search. It has nothing to do with geographic / geospatial data.
"Monitoring tells you where you stand. Verification changes where you stand."Monitoring is being commoditized by the week. We build the evidence layer instead.
Every brand goes through the same three phases. We run it on clients, and we run it on ourselves.
The same buyer-question battery across multiple AI models. Mention rate = share of answers that name the brand. One sample, fixed temperature, heuristic match, human-verified.
Brand fact base, machine-readable fact pages (human + JSON-LD), FAQ coverage, evidence pages for credentials and reports. Additive only: we never touch the client's own site or transactions.
Same questions, same models, new baseline. The delta is the deliverable. No delta, no story.
Machine translation of your brand into AI-readable structure. A private draft — not public, not indexed, not an endorsement. Free, one per account.
Analyst review against the public standards below. Evidence checked, sources cross-referenced, badge earned. Verification is never for sale without the check.
