4 grounded AI surfaces · Scored on real AI answers, not keyword counts · Public methodology
Action Engine

Find the gap.
Fix the gap.

Every rival the AI recommends ahead of you is quietly winning deals you never see. The Action Engine pinpoints the exact sub-forums, reviews and data sources each LLM reads to form those recommendations.

No guesswork. Every action is source-traced and ranked by how much it moves your R-Score. You fix what matters first, and the next scan proves it worked.

Visibility Model

The Visibility Spectrum

Move from being ignored by AI to becoming the canonical answer for your category. AI assistants don't rank your backlinks. They weigh context, presence, and how they talk about you.

Ghosted

Absent from AI answers. The model doesn't surface you for the category query. (0–29)

Mentioned

Named as one option among several, but rarely cited or recommended. (30–54)

Cited

Listed as a grounding source, but not the recommended answer. (55–79)

Recommended

The model's canonical answer for your category query. (80–100)

The Methodology

Know exactly why AI picks one brand over another.

The R-Score is computed per surface from four signals (Presence, Prominence, Sentiment, and Citation), then smoothed across repeated runs so model randomness cancels out.

Principles are public. Exact weights are proprietary.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO (also called AEO or AI visibility) is the practice of measuring and improving how AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini present your brand. RecommendHQ is the AI Recommendation Management platform, a GEO platform focused on the outcome: it tracks whether models mention, cite or actively recommend you for buying-intent queries, then prescribes actions to close the gaps. Read the complete Generative Engine Optimization guide →

How is RecommendHQ different from AI visibility monitoring tools?

Monitoring tools count appearances: mentions, citations, share of voice. RecommendHQ measures whether the AI actually recommends you (Recommendation Rate), diagnoses why it recommends competitors instead (the citation gap), and hands you a prioritized action plan whose impact the next scan proves. Visibility is the input; recommendation is the outcome.

What is an R-Score?

The R-Score is a normalized 0–100 measure of how likely an AI model is to recommend your brand for a category query. It blends four signals (Presence, Prominence, Sentiment and Citation) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

Which AI engines does RecommendHQ track?

RecommendHQ tracks four grounded AI surfaces that retrieve live content and expose citations: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews.

How is this different from traditional SEO?

SEO measures your ranking in blue-link search results. RecommendHQ measures whether AI assistants recommend you in their generated answers. That's a separate signal classic SEO metrics do not capture, and most brands need both.

Is the free scan really free?

Yes. The free scan checks a single domain on Gemini and returns your headline R-Score, with no credit card required. The blended R-Score across all four surfaces is part of the paid plans.
