Wise GEO Compassown the answer.
The complete GEO framework · built to win the AI answer
Search changed owner. AI answers now decide which brands enter the conversation. Wise GEO Compass is our complete framework to win visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews, and the only one with a competitive observability layer of its own.
However you name it, AI assistant positioning, AI mentions, AI references, AI traffic, it is the same job: being the brand the assistant names when your customer asks. We win that visibility across the assistants your customers actually use.
What it is, in one minute.
The rest of this page goes deep. If you read only one part, read this: Wise GEO Compass gets your brand into the answers AI gives your customers, and shows you exactly where you stand against your competitors, every month.
Gets you into the AI answer
It builds the reputation and the citable content that make ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention and cite your brand, where your buyers now look first.
The answer is the new front page
Most searches now end without a click. If the AI does not name you, you are invisible, no matter your Google ranking. And a visitor who arrives from AI is worth several times an ordinary one.
A clear read, and a plan
A monthly score of how you stand in AI answers versus your real competitors, the reason behind every move, and a prioritized plan to close the gap, run by one team.
In one line: when your customer asks an AI, we make sure your brand is the answer, and we can prove where you stand while we get you there.
The search moved from the page to the answer.
The question is no longer "where do I rank on Google?" It is "what does the AI say about my brand, and about my competitors, when a customer asks?" Most people never scroll to a link any more, they read the answer and act.

industry, 2026We optimize what actually moves AI visibility.
Across 75,000 brands, Ahrefs measured what correlates with a brand being mentioned in AI answers. The winners are not the classic SEO assets. GEO is distributed reputation plus citable content.
The reading is blunt: Reddit is the number one source cited by LLMs (46% of Perplexity citations), and brand mentions across the web outweigh backlinks about 3 to 1. GEO is not SEO with a new name. It is a different game, and we optimize for the signals that win it.
We studied the leaders, then went one layer further.
The Compass integrates the best of the published science and the leading practitioners. Then it adds the one thing none of them offer: the competitive reading.
Citation engineering that is measured
The peer-reviewed GEO work (Princeton, KDD 2024) tested nine tactics across 10,000 queries; the best lift visibility 30 to 40 percent. We adopt what has measured impact, not opinion.
Optimize to be the answer
The north-star metric is the reference rate, being the answer, not the click-through rate of being a link. We manage to the metric that actually matters now.
Relevance and entity engineering
Query fan-out, embeddings and a corroborated entity in knowledge graphs, so the models understand who you are and trust it. This is the technical and entity base.
The competitive reading
The best measurement tools give flat competitor lists and US-only benchmarks. None reads the category competitively, weighted and pre-registered. That is exactly where we come in.
The gap: every piece exists in the market as a tactic or a tool. No one assembles them into a complete framework with a weighted, pre-registered competitive layer and an independent audit. That is where Wise GEO Compass lives.
Five layers, from the prompt space to competitive observability.
A complete system, not a checklist. Four proven execution layers, and one proprietary layer that no one else has.
Two names people mix up. Compass is the whole framework, the five layers together, the map and the direction. Radar is the fifth of those layers, the live competitive panel that reads the field every month. (And Wise GeoWave is the quarterly audit that checks the model.)
Prompt-Space Research
A map of the prompts your buyers really ask: topics by persona by funnel by market.
Entity & Trust
A corroborated entity: Wikidata, schema, reviews, and pages an AI crawler can actually read.
Citation Engineering
Citable content: data, quotes and answer-first chunks the models want to quote.
Ecosystem & PR
Mentions where the AI drinks: Reddit, YouTube, media and listicles.
Competitive Observability
The panel no one else has: weighted matrix, international benchmark and proactive insights.
The execution, proven.
Every execution layer rests on published evidence, not on opinion.
01 · Chart · Prompt-Space Research
Prompts derived from real behaviour, not invented. 100 to 250 prompts per brand-market, in a matrix frozen between refreshes so trends are reliable.Evidence · the leading tools base measurement on real queries and conversations
02 · Anchor · Entity & Trust
A corroborated identity in knowledge graphs, presence on review sites, and server-side rendering, because most AI crawlers do not run JavaScript.Evidence · entity in Wikidata plus platforms: up to about 2.8x citation; reviews up to about 3x
03 · Craft · Citation Engineering
Statistics, expert quotes and cited sources; the answer in the first 30% of the page; one question per heading; full query fan-out coverage.Evidence · Princeton +30–40%; 44% of citations come from the top of the page; headings 41% vs 29%
04 · Fleet · Ecosystem & Digital PR
Brand mentions on Reddit, YouTube, media and listicles, the places each engine goes to drink, with digital PR aimed at the sources the models already cite.Evidence · web mentions 0.66 and YouTube 0.74 correlation; Reddit the #1 cited source
The 5th layer: the competitive observability panel.
Now it gets proprietary. This is the fifth layer of the Compass, not a separate product: Wise AI Radar reads the best data platforms in the market, orchestrates them with agentic AI, and turns them into a monthly competitive picture. It measures your brand's AI mentions against a competitive set, weighted by real relevance, and shows where each rival wins, topic by topic.
Weighted AI Share of Voice
Your mentions against the set, weighted by tier, per engine (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews) and per dimension: mentions, citations, sentiment, position. Collected weekly, indexed monthly, with history.
Pre-registered, per Project Case
Each case fixes its competitive set, prompt-set, markets and benchmark basket before the first run, and freezes them. Changing competitors mid-way needs a declared re-baseline. No case is paused for a convenient result; everything is reported.
Your market, at global scale
The same prompt-set runs in reference markets and returns your gap versus the sector median, as a stable gap and z-score, not a jumpy percentile. A fixed basket of brands each month keeps the ruler steady.
Where you win, topic by topic
A live board of who dominates each topic and funnel stage, the sources citing each competitor, and month-on-month moves, so a gap comes with the exact reason and the plan to close it.
Signal, not noise. We measure like a study, not a screenshot.
LLMs are non-deterministic: two identical measurements share only 33 to 48 percent of the brands. So the Radar does not read a screenshot, it runs a method, and only real movement raises an alert.
Screen, then prove
Correlation screens which topics seem to convert effort into visibility; hypotheses are then ranked by expected marginal gain over cost, and confirmed with a pre-registered holdout before we scale. A three-day winner is noise in a hurry.
The business layer
The Radar does not stop at share of voice. GA4 tracking of AI referrers links each point of the index to sessions, conversion and attributed revenue, so a point of SoV has a value in your category.
Cause, then action
"Your SoV in comparisons dropped beyond the noise band. Cause: a competitor gained citations from source Y. Action: Fleet, digital PR into those articles." Signal, cause, plan.
From the index to revenue.
AI share of voice leads to referrals, referrals to conversion, conversion to revenue. And the value of AI traffic is not a promise, it is showing up in the analytics.

A great service, plus proprietary technology that makes the difference.
Our proposition is a service and a proprietary technology product working as one. In the service you get the best of our people, our installed experience and the leading best-practice frameworks. And where a field is new and moving fast, we bring proprietary frameworks of our own, like this one, that competitors simply do not have.
People, experience, best practice
A senior team that has run Google, media and data programs for 300+ brands, applying the leading international best practices. This is the ground the work stands on, and it is already strong.
Frameworks that win emerging areas
In emerging areas, best practice is not enough, because everyone has it. Wise GEO Compass is a proprietary framework we built to win GEO specifically, with a competitive layer no tool offers. It is the edge that separates us.
Observability + an audit that validates
Wise AI Radar is a live product on top of the best data platforms, and Wise GeoWave is our proprietary audit that validates the model every quarter. Service, framework and product, one system.
The effect: the service improves the index, the Radar proves the value, and the accumulated category history and the quarterly GeoWave audit make the method impossible to copy. The tools change; the framework, the data history and our own audit stay.
What no one else does, and we do.
We audited the AI-visibility market in July 2026. Everyone tracks mentions and share of voice. Four capabilities are still unclaimed, and they are ours.
| Capability | Standard tools | Enterprise tools | Wise AI Radar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mention tracking & share of voice | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Sentiment, citations & sources | – | Yes | Yes |
| Weighted competitor tiers | – | – | Yes |
| International category benchmark | – | – | Yes |
| Insights with statistical rigour (bootstrap, effective N) | – | – | Yes |
| Integrated execution: services + framework + GeoWave audits | – | – | Yes |
Standard tools such as Otterly, Peec or SE Ranking, and enterprise tools such as Profound or Brandlight, stop at the first two rows. The last four are the whitespace, and the Compass owns it.
"The tools measure. We read the category, prove the value, and act, as one system."
A stable rhythm, and a framework that keeps learning.
The methodology is versioned and improves every quarter, because AI search moves fast, and because trends only exist when the measurement does not. The history compounds: the longer it runs, the sharper it reads.
Runs across every engine
The prompt-set runs on all engines, averaged over multiple passes.
The competitive report
Matrix, Benchmark and Observatory, with insights and the plan.
GeoWave audit + refresh
An independent check and a versioned refresh of the prompt-set.
First moves
The first measurable shifts in share of voice.
Structural change
Real change in category position, not a spike.
The commitment: prompts fixed between refreshes, sampling defined up front, and a versioned history. Most measurement failures in the market are definition drift, not model drift, and the Compass is built against exactly that. It is never finished, and that is the point of an emerging field.
Three ways to work, one owner of the path.
Tech-agnostic and without lock-in. We fit the model to your organization, and in every model the project management of the framework stays with us.
Strategy & QA
We set the strategy, the priorities and the framework standards. Your team or your partners execute, with our guidance and quality assurance.
Holistic partnership
We set strategy, coordinate the actions, measure, and implement part. The rest is executed internally or by third parties, under our coordination.
End-to-end execution
Our team runs the layers end to end, content, entity, ecosystem, PR and measurement, integrated with your teams.
In every model, one team owns the path, so there is a single point of accountability regardless of who implements each action.
GEO does not run alone.
The Compass connects to the rest of what we do, so AI visibility turns into content, media and measured business results, with one partner.
