Platform

What is CogNerd and what does it do?

CogNerd is an AI search visibility platform that helps brands monitor, optimize, and grow their presence across AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and more. Instead of tracking Google rankings, CogNerd tracks whether AI models cite, recommend, or mention your brand when users ask relevant questions.

Platform

Which AI platforms does CogNerd monitor?

CogNerd currently monitors 10+ AI platforms including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity AI, Microsoft Copilot, Grok (xAI), DeepSeek, You.com, and more. We add new platforms as they reach meaningful user adoption.

Strategy

How is CogNerd different from traditional SEO tools?

Traditional SEO tools track keyword rankings in Google's blue-link search results. CogNerd is built for the era of AI search — where users ask questions and AI systems provide synthesized answers. We track brand citations in AI responses, identify gaps, and generate the structured content (llms.txt, schema.org, FAQs) that AI models use to reference your brand.

Strategy

What is AEO and why does it matter for my brand?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — the practice of making your brand highly citable in AI-generated answers. As search behavior shifts from keyword queries to conversational AI prompts, brands that aren't optimized for AI search risk becoming invisible to a growing segment of their target audience. CogNerd's AEO audit scores your brand's readiness and provides a concrete action plan.

Platform

How quickly can I see results after onboarding?

Most customers complete onboarding and see their first AI visibility report within 24 hours. Brand monitoring runs continuously and you'll receive your first insights — including which AI platforms mention you, your citation frequency, and competitor comparisons — within the first week.

Features

Can I track multiple brands and competitors?

Yes. CogNerd lets you track your own brand alongside any number of competitors. The brand monitor runs structured AI queries across all tracked platforms and surfaces side-by-side comparisons so you can see exactly where your competitors appear and you don't — and vice versa.

Features

How does GEO file generation work?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) files are structured documents that AI crawlers and LLMs read to understand your brand. CogNerd automatically generates llms.txt (a machine-readable brand summary), schema.org markup, and FAQ pages tailored to your brand. These files signal to AI systems exactly how to represent your brand in generated answers.

Is my brand data secure with CogNerd?

Yes. CogNerd uses industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Brand data is isolated per account and never shared across customers. We do not use your brand's data to train AI models. Our infrastructure runs on SOC 2-compliant cloud providers.
