# WhereDoIRank.ai

> The public index of what AI recommends. We ask the same buying questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity every week, record the answers, and publish where brands rank — 22 categories, 183 ranked positions, scored 0–100 per model with a published methodology. We report what the models say; we never editorialize, and brands cannot pay to change the record.

Note: during the preview period the published rankings are simulated sample data while the measurement pipeline comes online. The format, scoring, and methodology are final.

- [AI Visibility Score](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/ai-visibility-score): An AI Visibility Score is a 0–100 measure of how prominently a single AI model recommends a brand in a category, based on whether the brand is mentioned, how early it appears, and how consistently it shows up across queries.
- [Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/geo): GEO is the practice of improving how often and how favorably generative AI engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity — recommend a brand in their answers. It is the AI-era counterpart to SEO.
- [Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/aeo): AEO is optimizing content so answer engines — AI systems that reply with a direct answer instead of a list of links — surface and cite your brand.
- [LLM Optimization (LLMO)](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/llmo): LLMO is a synonym for GEO: the discipline of improving a brand's presence in large language model outputs, from training data through retrieved sources.
- [Share of Voice](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/share-of-voice): In AI visibility, share of voice is the percentage of relevant AI answers that mention a brand, across a defined set of prompts, models, and time.
- [Citation](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/citation): A citation is a source link an AI answer attaches to a claim — the page the model retrieved and leaned on when composing its response.
- [Grounding](https://wheredoirank.ai/glossary/grounding): Grounding is when an AI model bases its answer on retrieved, verifiable sources — live web results or documents — instead of relying only on what it learned in training.
