Question 1

What is the difference between SEO, GEO and AEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO decides whether your page ranks in a list of links. AEO — answer engine optimization — decides whether an answer engine uses your page to build its answer. GEO is the broader practice of getting your brand named inside generated text, with or without a link. A brand can rank first on Google and appear in no ChatGPT answer at all, because the two systems select differently: Google selects pages, answer engines select claims they can corroborate across several independent sources.

Question 2

How much does AI visibility monitoring cost at Mentioned.?

Accepted Answer

Plans start at €165 per month for LLM Monitor, which covers 30 tracked prompts across 3 AI systems with setup and dashboard included. LLM Intelligence is €395, LLM Growth is €595 and LLM Authority is €995 per month, scaling up to 200 tracked prompts across 6 AI systems with strategic analysis and content execution included. All prices are published on this site.

Question 3

Can you guarantee my brand will appear in ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

No, and any agency that guarantees it is selling you something it does not control. AI systems change their retrieval and ranking behaviour without notice. What we can do is measure your current position accurately, identify the specific sources driving the answers in your category, and work on the signals that are within your control.

Question 4

Which AI systems do you track?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Perplexity. The number of systems covered depends on your plan, from 3 on LLM Monitor to 6 on LLM Authority. We select the ones with real usage in your market rather than tracking everything for the sake of a longer list.

Question 5

How long before anything changes?

Accepted Answer

You get your baseline measurement within days of setup. Structural and technical fixes typically start showing up in AI answers within weeks. Category-level authority — where a model consistently names you among the top options unprompted — takes months and depends on how contested your category is. We report monthly, so you see the direction before the destination.

Question 6

Do I need to leave my current SEO agency?

Accepted Answer

No. We work alongside in-house teams and existing SEO or SEA agencies, and hand them prioritised, specific actions. If your agency is already doing the technical work well, we do not duplicate it — we tell them what to change for AI retrieval.

Question 7

Why Mentioned. rather than a full-service SEO agency?

Accepted Answer

Because AI visibility is not a service line you add to an existing playbook. It needs continuous measurement infrastructure, category-level competitor tracking and source-level citation analysis. We do one thing, and we publish what it costs.

Question 8

Where is Mentioned. based and who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Mentioned. is based in Brussels, Belgium, and works in Dutch, French and English across Europe, North America and the Middle East. Most clients are Belgian and European brands in competitive categories where being recommended by an AI system is becoming a real acquisition channel.
