This is an editorial starting framework, not a market-share ranking or a claim that a platform serves only one use case. Use your own buyer interviews and acquisition data to prioritize.

AI visibility is the presence of your business in AI-generated answers: a mention, a recommendation, a linked citation or a discovery path that leads a buyer to your website. These are different outcomes. A useful GEO plan connects the buyer question, the public evidence and a measurement method appropriate to each platform. Search assistants, research tools and AI features inside search engines do not produce one universal ranking. This directory gives each experience a distinct plan while connecting them to the same accurate product, pricing and evidence pages.

Choose the experience first. Each guide contains a source-based explanation, six implementation steps, an illustrative scenario, a review checklist and linked official documentation.

No. Group related questions when one useful page can answer them well. Create another URL when the reader needs a genuinely distinct resource, not simply because a phrase or engine name differs.

Give each asset a content owner and each claim an evidence owner. Define review triggers such as a pricing change, revised feature or new customer result. Reserve time for correction alongside new production. At the monthly review, examine product accuracy, commercial recommendations and qualified inquiries separately. Decide whether the next effort belongs in access, product information, proof or a different audience. Stop creating a planned resource if its underlying evidence is unavailable. Apply the planning process to ecommerce strategy, where product selection matters, or local-service buyer questions, where fit and coverage must be clear. The B2B SaaS comparison dossier addresses software evaluation. Explore Arrow's GEO approach or start with a free audit to scope the first journey.

Start with an audience and a situation. 'Marketing teams comparing citation software with implementation support' is a usable scope. 'Everyone searching about AI' is too broad to guide evidence, content or measurement. Ask sales which decisions stall and what buyers need before moving forward. Separate category discovery, shortlisting, implementation and ongoing use. A company can be useful as an educational source without being suitable for a particular purchase. Decide which role each page should serve before assigning topics. Write a one-sentence objective describing the buyer, decision and desired next action. Pair it with a non-brand question that a real prospect could ask. Keep brand-name checks in a separate identity review.

Record a small set of buyer questions before publishing. Preserve the answers, sources and collection context so that a later comparison has a baseline. Use the measurement method for outcome definitions. Choose one intervention with a clear acceptance condition. An illustrative intervention is adding verified implementation requirements to a product journey. Completion means the information is published accurately and the journey works. Any later recommendation change is a separate observation. Review the same questions across comparable sessions. Record negative results and external changes. A movement after publication is a useful signal for investigation, not proof that the intervention was its sole cause.

Create a short decision map containing the offer, relevant constraints, proof and appropriate next step. For a software buyer, missing usage limits may matter more than another introductory article. For a local service, an unclear coverage area may prevent a useful inquiry. Use the map below as a planning template. It contains suggested evidence types, not observations of assistant preferences.

Pick a product page, one supporting resource and one useful proof asset. Improve them together so a visitor can understand the offer, investigate a concern and take an appropriate next step. Create additional pages when they serve a distinct need. Google says generative search continues to rely on search foundations and emphasizes original, useful content. That supports an evidence-led publishing program; it does not establish a universal AEO page template. Google's official guidance. Document why each proposed page exists and which existing page it overlaps. If the only difference is a substituted engine or industry name, revisit the brief. A focused journey also gives the team a manageable unit for review and maintenance.

Review operational findings regularly, but keep the core questions stable enough for comparison. Change the scope when evidence, product fit or business priorities justify it, and retain the prior cohort for an honest trend.

Keep them as identity checks. A question naming your company is different from an unprompted selection question. Mixing the two can overstate commercial discovery.

A clear audience, a map of its important buying decisions and a focused page journey with supported claims. Add a comparable question baseline and named owners so the team can evaluate what happens after publication.

It shows a difference in the observed panel when the comparison is valid. It does not by itself isolate the cause. Use comparable sessions, a change log and question-level analysis, and acknowledge model, source and competitor changes.

No. It describes a proposed protocol and includes blank reporting fields. No market rates or company rankings are claimed. A completed study would need a dated question panel, collected responses, classifications and an explanation of its limits.

Create questions from customer interviews, sales objections and existing search demand. Include discovery, requirements, evaluation and implementation needs. Keep questions that name your company in a separate identity check. Asking an assistant to recommend your company measures a different behavior from unprompted selection. A proposed pilot contains 20 commercial questions and 10 informational questions, tested on three surfaces across three sessions: 270 planned observations. These numbers are a workload example. Choose a panel your team can repeat and review; they are not a statistically established minimum. Store each question with an ID, intent, language, target market and reason for inclusion. Freeze the initial version. Add new questions as a separate cohort so that a changing sample cannot silently create apparent growth. Arrow publishes a versioned proposed question panel and an observation schema so another analyst can inspect the expected fields. The panel is explicitly marked unmeasured; publishing a protocol is not the same as publishing results.

Use a consistent session setup and spread repetitions across several days. Record the exact surface: ChatGPT Search, a particular API configuration and Google AI Mode are distinct environments. Keep separate results if collection methods differ. Save the full response, visible source links, timestamp, known location settings, language and completion status. A missing response due to a technical error is not the same as a valid response that excludes a company. For AI Overviews, record whether an Overview appears. In the overall recommendation rate, a valid search without an Overview contributes an observation without a recommendation. Also report a conditional rate among searches where an Overview appeared.

Compare outcomes by question before comparing overall percentages. A result driven by one question repeated several times is different from gains across multiple buying needs. Show n/N and the spread between sessions. Repeated responses to the same question are not independent people in the market. Observe which sources support accurate or inaccurate product descriptions. If a competitor has a useful implementation guide and yours does not, that is a testable content opportunity. It is not proof that copying the guide will produce the same result. Use platform reporting as complementary evidence. Google's Generative AI performance report provides impressions for covered search features; it is not a brand recommendation report. Official Search Console report documentation.

The following is a reporting template, not a dataset. Replace pending fields only after responses have been collected and reviewed. Include the question-panel version, period, market and surface above every completed table.

Choose one intervention for a defined cohort: clarify pricing, publish a worked example or substantiate a product claim. Keep a change log, repeat the panel and compare the same questions. External updates and competitor activity remain possible explanations for movement. Publish an exploratory study with its method, limitations and negative results when the collection is ready. Until then, use this protocol for planning. Review Arrow's platform information or request a free audit to scope the questions and evidence relevant to your business. Use the metric dictionary for formulas and the dashboard guide to display coverage and missingness. The measurement collection connects the full process.

The proposed benchmark has three primary outcomes. A mention identifies the correct company. A citation links to its website as a source. A recommendation explicitly presents that company as a solution to the stated buying need. Review homonyms, critical mentions and source-only references before classification. A citation rate counts responses containing at least one qualifying company-domain citation, divided by valid observations in the stated cohort. Repeating a URL within an answer does not increase this rate. A separate URL-frequency table can count distinct sources. Commercial recommendation rate uses valid commercial observations as its denominator. Do not include informational questions or identity checks. Record how often the assistant gave any eligible recommendation, which provides context for low category-wide rates. See the full measurement method.

Use enough questions to cover the decisions you want to investigate and a workload you can repeat. The 30-question pilot is an operational example, not a universal statistical minimum. Report the sample and avoid claiming it represents all buyer demand.

Valid identity-control answers with a reviewed correct identity ÷ valid identity-control answers with an identity judgment. Keep the four values separate. A single composite score can hide the difference between being named, being used as a source, being selected for a buyer and being described correctly. If a team creates an internal weighted score, publish the weights and the four source rates beside it.
