Question 1

What is GeoFlowAgent?

Accepted Answer

GeoFlowAgent is an AI search optimization platform that monitors how your local business appears across 8 major AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Mistral, DeepSeek, and Grok. We give you a visibility score, identify gaps, and provide actionable recommendations to improve your AI presence.

Question 2

What is AI search visibility?

Accepted Answer

AI search visibility measures how often and how accurately AI assistants recommend your business when someone asks for products or services in your area. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on link rankings, AI visibility determines whether AI platforms mention you by name in their generated answers.

Question 3

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a free account, enter your business name, and click 'Check My Flow.' Our system auto-discovers your online presence across Google Business Profile, Yelp, social media, and your website — then scans all 8 AI platforms. You'll have your first AI visibility score in about 60 seconds.

Question 4

Do I need any technical skills?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. GeoFlowAgent is designed for business owners, not developers. Simply type your business name and we handle everything — discovery, scanning, scoring, and generating recommendations in plain language.

Question 5

What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

Just your business name. We automatically discover your location, industry, website, and online profiles. You can optionally add or correct details after the initial scan for more precise results.

Question 6

How long does the first scan take?

Accepted Answer

The initial scan typically completes in about 60 seconds. This includes auto-discovering your business, querying all 8 AI platforms, and calculating your scores across 5 visibility dimensions.

Question 7

What AI platforms do you check?

Accepted Answer

We scan 8 major AI platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Mistral, DeepSeek, and Grok (xAI). These cover the vast majority of consumer AI search traffic. We continuously add new platforms as they gain market share.

Question 8

How is the AIO score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your AI Optimization (AIO) score is a composite 0–100 rating based on five dimensions: Presence (are you mentioned?), Accuracy (is the information correct?), Sentiment (is the tone positive?), Prominence (how early/prominently are you featured?), and Comprehensiveness (how detailed is the coverage?). Each dimension is weighted based on your industry.

Question 9

What are the 5 scoring dimensions?

Accepted Answer

The five dimensions are: (1) Presence — whether you appear at all, (2) Accuracy — whether key facts like hours, address, and services are correct, (3) Sentiment — whether the AI's tone about your business is positive, neutral, or negative, (4) Prominence — whether you're the first recommendation or buried at the end, and (5) Comprehensiveness — how much detail the AI provides about your business.

Question 10

What is industry-adaptive scoring?

Accepted Answer

Different industries have different benchmarks. A dentist's visibility factors differ from a restaurant's. Our scoring engine adjusts dimension weights and benchmarks based on your specific industry, so your score and recommendations are always relevant to your business type.

Question 11

How often should I run scans?

Accepted Answer

We recommend weekly scans to track progress and catch changes. AI platforms update their models and data frequently, so regular monitoring ensures you stay on top of any visibility shifts. Pro and Agency plans include automated scheduled scans.

Question 12

Can I choose which AI providers to include?

Accepted Answer

On Pro and Agency plans, you can customize which of the 8 AI platforms to include in your scans. The Starter plan scans 3 platforms by default. Most users prefer scanning all 8 for the most comprehensive picture.

Question 13

What SEO checks are included?

Accepted Answer

We analyze your website for traditional SEO factors that also impact AI visibility: meta tags, structured data (Schema.org), page speed, mobile responsiveness, content quality, internal linking, and technical issues like broken links or missing alt text.

Question 14

What is AEO readiness?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) readiness measures how well your website is structured to be quoted by AI assistants. This includes FAQ markup, How-To schema, clear entity definitions, and content formatted in a way that AI can easily extract and cite.

Question 15

What is llms.txt?

Accepted Answer

llms.txt is an emerging standard (similar to robots.txt) that lets you communicate directly with AI crawlers about your business. It tells AI platforms what information to prioritize, what's accurate, and how to represent your business. GeoFlowAgent checks if you have one and helps you create it.

Question 16

Do you check if AI crawlers are blocked?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We audit your robots.txt and server configuration to see if you're accidentally blocking AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Google-Extended. Blocking these crawlers means AI platforms can't access your latest content, which can significantly hurt your AI visibility.

Question 17

How does SEO affect AI visibility?

Accepted Answer

AI platforms pull data from many sources, including your website. Strong traditional SEO — clean structure, accurate Schema markup, fast load times, authoritative content — makes it easier for AI models to find, understand, and recommend your business accurately.

Question 18

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Sign up for the free Starter plan and check your Flow immediately. It includes one AI visibility scan across 3 AI platforms, a basic AIO score, and a summary of findings. It's a great way to see where you stand before committing to a paid plan.

Question 19

Can I change plans anytime?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from your account settings. When upgrading, you're charged the prorated difference. When downgrading, the new rate applies at the start of your next billing cycle.

Question 20

What happens if I exceed my scan limits?

Accepted Answer

On the free Starter plan, you're limited to 1 scan. Pro and Agency plans include unlimited scans, so there are no limits to worry about once you upgrade.

Question 21

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a full refund within the first 14 days of any paid plan. If you're not satisfied, contact our support team and we'll process your refund — no questions asked.

Question 22

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Google Pay, and Apple Pay. For Agency plans with annual billing, we also offer invoicing and bank transfer options.

Question 23

Do you offer nonprofit or startup discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer 30% off any paid plan for verified nonprofits and early-stage startups (pre-Series A). Contact our support team with verification details and we'll apply the discount to your account.

Question 24

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We follow industry best practices for security, including regular penetration testing, SOC 2 compliance, and strict access controls. Your business data is stored securely and never shared without your consent.

Question 25

Who can see my analysis results?

Accepted Answer

Only you and any team members you explicitly invite to your account. On Agency plans, you can set role-based permissions to control what each team member or client can view and edit.

Question 26

Do you share data with third parties?

Accepted Answer

No. We never sell or share your business data with third parties. The only external calls we make are to the AI platforms themselves during scans — and we don't transmit any of your private business data to them, only standard search-style queries.

Question 27

Are you GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are fully GDPR compliant. You can request data export or deletion at any time from your account settings. We have a dedicated Data Protection Officer and maintain detailed records of all data processing activities.
