General Questions

What is AI Perception Engineering?
AI Perception Engineering is the practice of optimizing how brands and entities are understood and represented by AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. It focuses on ensuring accurate, positive, and comprehensive representation in AI-generated responses.
Why does AI perception matter for my brand?
As more users rely on AI assistants for information and recommendations, how AI systems perceive and describe your brand directly impacts discovery, reputation, and customer decisions. Poor or inaccurate AI perception can lead to missed opportunities and reputation damage.
Which AI systems do you analyze?
We analyze responses from leading AI systems including OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity AI. Our analysis covers how each system perceives your brand across various query types and contexts.
How is this different from traditional SEO?

Technical Questions

How do you measure AI perception?
We use a proprietary scoring system that analyzes multiple factors: mention frequency, sentiment analysis, factual accuracy, competitive positioning, recommendation likelihood, and knowledge graph completeness across different AI providers.
What is the AI Perception Score?
The AI Perception Score is a 0-100 metric that quantifies how well AI systems understand and represent your brand. It combines sub-scores for visibility, accuracy, sentiment, authority, and competitive positioning.
How often should I check my AI perception?
We recommend monitoring AI perception at least weekly, as AI models update frequently and market conditions change. Real-time monitoring helps you catch and address issues before they impact your brand.
What data sources do AI systems use?
AI systems learn from various sources including Wikipedia, news articles, official websites, review platforms, social media, academic papers, and structured data like Schema.org markup. Optimizing these sources improves AI perception.
How long does it take to improve AI perception?
Improvements vary based on the issues identified. Quick wins like Schema.org markup can show impact within weeks. More substantial changes to underlying data sources may take 1-3 months to reflect in AI responses.
