Question 1

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website and brand signals so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite and recommend you in generated answers. Unlike traditional SEO, which targets ranked links, GEO focuses on entity authority, structured facts, FAQ schema, and citation-ready content.

Question 2

What is AEO and how is it different from GEO?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes content for direct answers in AI search and featured snippets. In 2026, AEO and GEO describe the same discipline: making your brand the source AI systems trust. Bad Popcorn covers both: monitoring mentions, citations, and the technical fixes that improve them.

Question 3

What is AI visibility and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

AI visibility measures how often and how favorably your brand appears in AI-generated responses. As shoppers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity for product recommendations instead of clicking blue links, brands that are not cited lose discovery before the first click. If AI cannot parse your catalogue or trust your facts, you are invisible to a growing share of buyers.

Question 4

How do I measure AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

Run a baseline of 20–30 buyer-intent prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Track mention rate, share of voice vs competitors, citation sources, and sentiment. Bad Popcorn automates this with daily prompt monitoring, visibility scores, and a free GEO/AEO audit that checks robots.txt, schema, and on-page signals.

Question 5

Which AI platforms do you monitor?

Accepted Answer

We monitor ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Mistral, Grok, Copilot, and DeepSeek on all paid plans. All major AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot) are supported in our technical audits.

Question 6

How does the free GEO audit work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your website URL on badpopcorn.ai. We crawl your site, check robots.txt, meta tags, JSON-LD schema, FAQ structure, and AI-readiness signals, then return prioritized quick wins in under a minute. For a full baseline across live AI prompts, start the 30-day visibility audit.

Question 7

What KPIs do you track?

Accepted Answer

Share of Voice (how often you are mentioned in target prompts), positioning quality vs competitors, citation frequency, and conversion attribution from AI-assisted search. All metrics live in real-time dashboards with export for leadership reporting.

Question 8

Who is Bad Popcorn built for?

Accepted Answer

Digital retailers and ecommerce teams: fashion, sportswear, and consumer brands with deep catalogues and tight margins. We help teams in the Netherlands and Europe prove that AI recommends their products, not marketplace aggregators or competitors.

Question 9

Can I try before I commit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the free GEO audit (no credit card). Paid plans include a free tier with 3 brands, 10 prompts, and 100 monthly queries. Upgrade when you need daily monitoring, full-site crawls, and team workspaces.
