Understanding MonitoringGenie
MonitoringGenie is the monitoring and insights layer of GeoGenie. It continuously tracks how often your brand, products, or competitors surface across generative engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
The Prompt List
The Prompt List is the primary view in MonitoringGenie. This is where you see all your tracked prompts and their performance metrics.
Prompts are grouped by Topic. Each topic contains a set of related prompts, and the topic-level metrics are the aggregate of the prompts within that topic.
Important: Consolidating too many disparate prompts into a single topic produces averaged, unreliable metrics. If a topic contains both broad category prompts and narrow product-specific prompts, the averages won't be meaningful for either group. Keep topics focused and coherent.
Metrics tracked
MonitoringGenie tracks three core metrics for every prompt and topic:
Visibility %
How often your brand appears in AI answers for a given prompt or topic. This is the foundational metric — if AI isn't mentioning your brand, nothing downstream matters.
Share of Voice %
Your brand's share of AI mentions relative to competitors. SOV % is a competitive metric that tells you whether you're winning or losing the AI conversation in your category.
Citation Rate %
How often your content (your domain) is cited as a source in AI answers. Citation Rate distinguishes between brands that are mentioned by AI and brands whose content is trusted enough to be cited as a source.
Reading your dashboards
Topic-level view
The topic-level view gives you a high-level picture of how your brand performs across entire categories. Use this view to:
- Identify which categories you're strong in and which ones need work
- Spot competitive threats at the category level
- Track trends over time to see if your GEO efforts are moving the needle
Prompt-level view
The prompt-level view shows performance for individual queries. Use this view to:
- Identify the specific prompts where you're winning or losing
- Compare Coverage prompts (broad category) vs. Depth prompts (commercial intent) performance
- Find the exact queries where competitors are being recommended instead of you
How MonitoringGenie connects to other products
MonitoringGenie surfaces what is happening. To understand why, you need CitationsGenie (which analyzes the citation supply chain behind your metrics). To act on what you find, you need ActionsGenie (which generates content briefs based on your gaps).
The typical workflow: MonitoringGenie identifies a prompt or topic where your Visibility or Citation Rate is low → CitationsGenie explains which sources AI is citing instead and why → ActionsGenie generates the content briefs to close the gap.
