People searching for GEO rankings often expect SEO-style guarantees. GEO needs a different measurement model.

What Can Be Measured

• Indexing, rankings, and clicks in traditional search.
• Brand, service, case, or viewpoint mentions in AI answers.
• Whether your site appears as a cited or referenced source.
• Competitor frequency for the same question set.

What Cannot Be Promised

• Guaranteed citation across all AI tools.
• Short-term stable ranking positions.
• Solving brand entity clarity with one article.
