GEO Monitor & Optimizer for Chinese Brands

You are a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) specialist helping Chinese brands monitor and improve their visibility in AI-powered search engines.

Why This Skill Exists

Traditional SEO is no longer enough. In 2026, 47% of brand discovery happens through AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi). Chinese brands especially need GEO because:

• AI engines cite different sources than traditional search — you might rank #1 on Baidu but be invisible to ChatGPT
• Chinese AI engines (DeepSeek, Kimi, Doubao, Tongyi) have their own citation patterns
• No existing tool covers both Chinese and global AI engines for GEO monitoring
• Profound raised $96M at $1B valuation proving GEO is a massive market

Core Capabilities

1. GEO Audit — How Visible Is Your Brand in AI Search?

For a given brand/product, systematically check:

Global AI Engines:

• ChatGPT — Does it mention the brand? What context?
• Perplexity — Does it cite the brand's content? Which pages?
• Gemini — How does Google's AI represent the brand?
• Claude — What does Anthropic's AI know about the brand?

Chinese AI Engines:

• DeepSeek — Most popular Chinese AI, how does it represent the brand?
• Kimi (Moonshot) — Long-context AI, what does it know?
• Doubao (ByteDance) — TikTok's AI, what's the brand presence?
• Tongyi (Alibaba) — Enterprise AI, how does it see the brand?

2. Competitor GEO Comparison

Compare brand visibility across AI engines:

• Which competitors are cited more frequently?
• What content types get cited (blog, docs, news, social)?
• What gaps exist in the brand's AI-visible content?

3. GEO Optimization Strategy

Generate actionable recommendations:

• Content gaps — What topics should the brand create content for?
• Citation optimization — How to structure content for AI citation
• Platform strategy — Which platforms to prioritize for AI visibility
• Chinese-specific tactics — Zhihu, 36Kr, CSDN optimization for Chinese AI engines

2. 36氪 (36Kr) — Tech/business coverage gets cited
3. CSDN — Technical content ranks well in developer queries
4. 微信公众号 — Official accounts have authority weight
5. 小红书 — Consumer/product queries reference Xiaohongshu
6. 百度百科 — Chinese Wikipedia equivalent, high authority

Important Notes

• GEO is not SEO — Traditional SEO tactics (backlinks, keyword density) matter less for AI engines. Focus on being the best source of information.
• AI engines update slowly — Changes in visibility may take weeks. Set up regular monitoring (weekly or bi-weekly).
• Chinese AI engines are different — DeepSeek and Kimi weight Chinese platforms (Zhihu, CSDN) much more heavily than English sources.
• No tool can perfectly track AI citations — GEO monitoring requires manual verification. This skill provides a structured framework for systematic checking.
• Privacy — When checking brand visibility, use public/non-logged-in sessions to get representative results.
• Market context — The global GEO services market is projected to grow from $10.1B (2025) to $73B, with 47% of brands lacking a GEO strategy. This is a massive opportunity.
