SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE

Measuring GEO Visibility: Prompt Corpora Define the Answer Market

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 6, 2026 · UTC

GEO (generative engine optimization) visibility scores aggregate source appearances, citations, or brand mentions in generated answers. The prompt corpus selects the situations evaluated, while weights determine their relative importance. Together they define an "answer market" that need not represent actual user demand.
