All important terms about AI visibility, Generative Engine Optimization, and AI SEO clearly explained.
AI SEO is the optimization of a website and its content for AI-based search and answer systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot. Unlike classic SEO, AI SEO measures and improves citation rate in AI answers.
Beconova is a complete AI SEO platform: we monitor your visibility across plan-enabled AI providers, deliver optimization recommendations and automate your Schema.org data delivery. AI SEO is our monitoring and optimization module - measure and improve in one tool.
AI Visibility is the visibility of a business, brand, or product in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot. Unlike Google ranking, AI Visibility is measured via prompt tests, citation tracking, and sentiment analysis.
Beconova measures your AI Visibility continuously: plan-enabled AI providers, multiple prompts per day, competitor benchmarks and sentiment assessment. Based on this data, our platform delivers concrete optimization recommendations to increase your mention rate.
AI Visibility Software is a category of SaaS tools that help businesses measure and optimize their visibility in AI search engines and AI assistants. Typical features: citation tracking across multiple platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Z.AI and Kimi), automatic Schema.org feeds, hallucination detection, competitor benchmarks and concrete recommendations to improve mention rates.
Beconova is AI Visibility Software for the DACH market: GDPR-oriented, German servers, plan-enabled AI providers, automatic optimization and tracking. Technical snippet setup in 5 to 10 minutes, no developers needed - from €59/month.
AIO measures and optimizes the actual visibility of a business in AI responses (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek, Grok, Z.AI and Kimi). While GEO prepares the content technically (Schema.org, llms.txt, structured data), AIO measures WHETHER and HOW AI systems actually mention the brand: share of voice, sentiment, citation count, hallucinations, positioning. The third pillar - AI SEO - actively improves visibility via content generation and prompt targeting.
Beconova covers all three pillars: GEO (schema feeds, llms.txt hosting) for preparation, AIO (monitoring across the provider registry with sentiment + hallucination detection) for measurement, and AI SEO (content briefs, FAQ/meta generation) for active improvement.
AI search answers are AI-generated summaries that search engines like Google display directly in search results. They compile information from multiple sources and answer user queries directly.
By using structured Schema.org data, you increase the chance of being cited in AI search answers - Beconova automates this.
A brand mention is the named reference to a brand or company in AI-generated answers. Brand mentions are an important indicator of AI visibility.
Beconova's citation monitoring automatically tracks all brand mentions of your company across AI providers.
A citation is a mention or recommendation of your business, product, or service by an AI search engine. Citations are the equivalent of backlinks in traditional SEO.
The Beconova Visibility Addon monitors citations across plan-enabled AI providers.
Crawler tracking monitors which AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) access your data feeds and how frequently they are indexed.
The GEO Platform shows which AI crawlers access your feeds - including statistics and trends.
Delta detection identifies changes between scan runs. Through 3-pass matching (SKU, name, URL), new, modified, and removed products are automatically detected.
Beconova's Scanner 2.0 uses 3-pass delta detection to automatically capture changes to your products and services.
E-commerce SEO for AI encompasses all measures to make online shop products visible in AI search engines. This includes product feeds, pricing data, availability, and reviews in machine-readable format.
Beconova offers special e-commerce plans with Shopify/WooCommerce integration and automatic product synchronization.
Feed optimization is the process of improving data feeds (JSON-LD, XML) so AI crawlers can better understand and index the information.
Beconova's GEO Platform automatically optimizes your feeds for maximum AI readability with Quality Score and delta detection.
GEO SEO combines classic SEO for search engines with Generative Engine Optimization for AI answer systems. The practical focus is high-quality content, machine-readable structures, backlinks, and entity consistency.
Beconova covers both sides: classic SEO signals through structured content and GEO signals through automatic Schema.org generation, llms.txt feeds and multi-engine monitoring. So you rank in Google AND get recommended by ChatGPT.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the optimization of web content and data so AI-based answer systems can find, understand, and cite them more reliably. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO focuses on structured data and machine-readable formats.
Beconova is a specialized GEO platform for the DACH region, offering all tools for successful Generative Engine Optimization.
A Knowledge Graph is a structured knowledge database that represents relationships between entities (people, companies, products). AI systems use Knowledge Graphs as a knowledge source.
Beconova helps your business be recognized as a relevant entity in AI Knowledge Graphs.
LLM SEO is the targeted optimization of content so large language models such as GPT, Claude, or Kimi can use it more reliably as a source for answers. Technical focus: clear entity naming, structured data formats, precise factual claims, and a semantically consistent content architecture.
Beconova optimizes your content for LLMs: automatic llms.txt generation, wai.json feeds, structured entity extraction and 8-layer hallucination detection. This ensures LLMs cite your brand correctly and frequently.
Large Language Models are the AI models behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, and other AI assistants. They process and generate natural language using training data and current web content.
Beconova optimizes your data so that LLMs consider it when generating answers.
The Quality Score (0-100) evaluates the quality and completeness of your structured data. A high score increases the likelihood of being recommended by AI systems.
Beconova automatically calculates the Quality Score for each dataset and suggests specific improvements.
RAG is a technique where AI models retrieve current information from the web and incorporate it into their answers. This enables up-to-date and fact-based AI responses.
Through Beconova's structured feeds, your data is optimally prepared for RAG-based AI systems.
Structured data is machine-readable information embedded in web pages in a standardized format (like JSON-LD). It helps search engines and AI systems better understand content.
Beconova automatically generates Schema.org-compliant structured data for your products and services.
Schema.org is a shared vocabulary by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Yandex for structured data. It defines standardized markup types like Product, Service, LocalBusiness, and more.
Beconova's GEO Platform automatically creates valid Schema.org feeds with Product, Service, and LocalBusiness types.
SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page. In the GEO world, SERP also refers to AI-generated answers and recommendations.
Beconova helps you become visible not only in traditional SERPs but also in AI-generated answers.
Sentiment analysis evaluates whether AI systems present your company positively, neutrally, or negatively. It is an important part of brand monitoring in the AI world.
The Beconova Visibility Addon includes automatic sentiment analysis of your AI mentions.
A trend alert is an automatic notification when significant changes occur in your AI visibility - such as new citations appearing or your rankings changing.
Beconova sends automatic trend alerts via email when your AI visibility changes significantly.
The Visibility Score is a metric (0-100) indicating how well your data is prepared for AI systems. It considers completeness, structure, and timeliness of your content.
Beconova automatically calculates your Visibility Score and provides specific recommendations for improvement.
