What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand's visibility in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in Google search results, GEO ensures your brand is recommended and cited when users ask AI assistants for information, recommendations, or advice.

How does Pranas measure AI visibility and brand presence?

Pranas runs simulations across 17+ AI models (GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, GPT-5 Nano, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini Flash, Gemini Flash Lite, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Haiku, Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B, DeepSeek Chat, DeepSeek R1, Grok 3, Grok 3 Mini, Grok 2, and Mistral Large) using your custom prompt library. Our platform analyzes how often your brand appears, at what position, which sources influence recommendations, and how your visibility compares to competitors.

Which AI models does Pranas GEO Monitor support?

We support 17+ AI models across 7 providers: OpenAI (GPT-5, GPT-5 Mini, GPT-5 Nano), Google (Gemini 2.5 Pro, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Haiku), Meta (Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B), DeepSeek (DeepSeek Chat, DeepSeek R1), xAI (Grok 3, Grok 3 Mini, Grok 2), and Mistral (Mistral Large).

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine result pages (SERPs) where users see a list of links. GEO optimizes for AI-generated responses where AI directly answers questions and makes recommendations. With GEO, you need to ensure AI models understand your brand, cite your sources, and recommend you in conversational contexts — a fundamentally different optimization approach.

Can I track my competitors' AI visibility?

Yes. Pranas allows you to add competitors to any brand and see comparative analytics showing how your AI visibility stacks up against the competition. You can track their rankings, source citations, and perception across all 17+ supported AI models.

How long does it take to see results from GEO efforts?

You'll see initial visibility data within minutes of running your first simulation. For trend analysis and actionable insights, we recommend running simulations weekly over 4-6 weeks. Improving your actual AI visibility depends on content optimization efforts, but most brands see measurable improvements within 2-3 months of implementing our recommendations.

Scan queue and retries

How Pranas processes scans in the background and automatically retries transient failures.

Last updated: 2026-05-05

Scans run in a database-backed queue so they survive page refreshes and tab closes.

Auto-retry

Failed queries are automatically retried once with a doubled timeout. This recovers most transient model errors (rate limits, network blips).

Per-user fairness

A small concurrency cap per user keeps shared infrastructure responsive. Large scans process in batches — you'll see progress update live.

What you don't need to do

You never need to "press retry" for transient failures — the queue does it.
