# Core Product Performance Metrics

### 1. Site Intelligence

<details>

<summary><strong>Traffic History</strong></summary>

> **Definition:** Trend‑based visitor‑traffic data driven by recommendations from AI‑powered channels (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other generative‑AI engines) over a selected time period.  It refers to non‑organic‑search traffic generated when users click through to your website after viewing AI‑generated answers.
>
> **Purpose:** Display daily fluctuations of AI‑sourced traffic, so you can visually evaluate whether your GEO‑optimization work has delivered traffic growth.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Traffic by AI Platforms</strong></summary>

> **Definition:** Break down your AI‑referenced traffic by individual AI channels. Visitor volumes from platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews are tracked separately.
>
> **Purpose:** Identify which AI platforms drive the best‑performing traffic for your brand and discover growth opportunities across channels.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Pages Worth Improving</strong></summary>

> **Definition:** A list of blogs and web‑pages identified by our GEO diagnostic algorithm as high‑priority candidates with great optimization potential.
>
> **Purpose:** These pages can gain far more AI citations with minor adjustments, making them high‑ROI optimization targets.

<details>

<summary><strong>Site‑Health Metrics</strong></summary>

> **Clicks**: The number of times users click links from AI‑generated answers or search‑engine results to visit your webpage.
>
> **Meta (Meta‑Tag)**: Metadata placed in the page header (title, description, etc.) used by AI crawlers and search engines to quickly identify page topics.
>
> **Index**: Indicates whether a page has been crawled and added to the index database by search‑engine or AI crawlers. Unindexed pages can hardly receive AI citations.
>
> **Canonical (Canonical Tag)**: Declares the preferred, original URL for a page, preventing duplicate‑content issues that may confuse AI and search engines.
>
> **LCP (Largest Contentful Paint)**: The load‑time duration for a page’s main content. Slow‑loading pages reduce crawl success rates for AI crawlers and harm visitor experience.

### 2. AI Visibility

<details>

<summary><strong>Coverage</strong></summary>

> **Definition:** The percentage of monitored queries where your brand receives AI exposure.
>
> **Formula:**  `Coverage = (Number of queries with AI exposure ÷ Total number of monitored queries) × 100%`
>
> **Purpose:** Measures your brand’s exposure breadth across relevant AI‑search topics. It helps you spot industry‑related questions where your brand is entirely missing from AI answers.  A low‑coverage value means your brand is absent from many high‑intent user queries.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Corp.Mention</strong></summary>

> **Definition**: The percentage of monitored queries where the brand name explicitly appears in AI‑generated responses.
>
> **Formula**:  `Corp.Mention = (Number of queries with brand‑name mentions ÷ Total number of monitored queries) × 100%`
>
> **Purpose**: To measure the likelihood of your brand name being visible within AI outputs. While Coverage only requires your brand‑related content to be used by AI, Corp.Mention mandates that your brand name is displayed.

<figure><img src="https://890767687-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnnwEwKPpO7gA84rdbMXK%2Fuploads%2FZ9dEUIhHavWuPqqsaVMQ%2Fd97440b2-f304-4a07-918b-e6491fe32e1c.png?alt=media&amp;token=c3f1bc73-4bf4-4aef-b2af-123537966b98" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Impression</strong></summary>

> **Definition**: The total number of times a brand appears in responses from various AI models within a selected reporting period. Multiple occurrences of the brand for the same query across different AI models or different sample answers are counted separately.
>
> **Formula**:  `Impression = ∑ (Brand‑mention frequency across all AI‑response samples)`
>
> **Purpose**: To measure your brand’s overall exposure volume and appearance frequency in AI‑generated answers. It differentiates between occasional brand mentions and consistent, high‑frequency AI citations.

<summary><strong>Combined analysis of these three metrics reveals four typical performance scenarios</strong></summary>

> 1. Low Coverage, Low Mention, Low Impression Status:
>
> **Current status：**&#x59;our brand is barely visible across AI‑generated answers.
>
> 2. Healthy‑level Coverage, Very Low Mention Status:
>
> **Current status：**&#x41;I draws content from your web‑pages but fails to reference your brand name.
>
> 3. High Coverage, High Mention, Low Impression Status:
>
> **Current status：**&#x59;our brand gets named occasionally, yet overall exposure frequency remains insufficient.
>
> 4. High values across all three metrics Status:
>
> **Current status：**&#x59;our GEO optimization delivers solid results, and your brand has become a preferred recommendation for AI models.
