GEO Audit Report: Know Your AI Visibility

Mercury's GEO Audit Report delivers the definitive analysis of your brand's visibility across every major AI search platform. Our proprietary 6-dimension framework measures exactly how generative engines perceive, cite, and recommend your business.

What is a GEO Audit?

GEO Audit Report is a comprehensive diagnostic analysis that measures how visible and authoritative your brand is within AI-powered search and recommendation systems.

Unlike traditional SEO audits that focus on Google rankings and backlink profiles, a GEO audit specifically evaluates how large language models (LLMs) interpret, cite, and recommend your brand. Each of the 6 dimensions is scored 0-100, then combined into a weighted composite score that represents your overall GEO readiness. Gartner predicts traditional search engine volume will decline by 25% by 2026 as consumers embrace generative AI-powered search.
