Prompt Example: Product GEO Diagnosis

Summon "Brand GEO Diagnostic Expert" to evaluate WeSight.
Primary docs: official site, open-source repository, official accounts.
Target user: developers needing to manage multiple Agents and workspaces.
Competitors: auto-detect based on queries, and let me confirm.
Return test query sets, platforms, and metrics for my confirmation first.
Output: Diagnostic summary, visibility index, user profiling, search index, references, competitor analysis, indexing performance, and optimization checklist.
Label unverified queries as "Sample Observation"; do not state as absolute facts.

The output should be a detailed diagnostics report. For WeSight, tests showed low visibility in scenario-based searches despite clear differentiation, suggesting a content gap.

Report Module 1: Summary and Risk Warnings

Gives leaders a global overview: general performance, core risks, and immediate fixes, detailing where the scores originate. For example, if WeSight only supports macOS Apple Silicon, and this is not defined in the README, the AI might add warnings or exclude it from windows-based recommendations.

Report Module 2: AIVO Metrics

Splits GEO into: AI search visibility, documentation baseline, competitor index, and reference health. This helps identify if the problem is low index count, incorrect features, or stronger competitor assets. For WeSight, composite index was 38; reference health was decent, but visibility and competitor index were low, showing a gap between user queries and brand documentation.

Report Module 3: User Profiling and Intent Shifts

GEO prioritizes how users ask questions. Users query: "Is there a desktop app that manages multiple Agent systems?" rather than searching the brand name directly. Users look for solutions, not brand names.

Report Module 4: Search Visibility

In AI search, users receive concise answers instead of link listings. Whether your brand is cited, its position, and recommendations form the new "search rank."

Report Module 5: Documentation Baseline

LLMs require verified, matching reference sources to build trust. We evaluate: official site docs, official accounts, and media coverage.

Report Module 6: Competitor Analysis

Measures which competitor occupies the primary semantic recommendation slot for a given query set.

Report Module 7: Indexing Performance

Verifies if the brand is cited across queries:

• Brand Queries: what is brand name, official URL, open-source state.
• Category Queries: what tools exist in this category, comparisons.
• Scenario Queries: how do I execute this task, what tool resolves it.
• Comparison Queries: what are the differences between A and B, which fits developers.

Report Module 8: Public Reviews Handling

Personal IP GEO Diagnostics

GEO diagnostics also apply to personal brands. Using "Cang He" as a personal IP returned a score of 72, validated using various engines.

Key Considerations for Personal IP Diagnostics:

• Identity Disambiguation: Provide location, role, projects, and official links to differentiate from similar names.
• Channel Consolidation: Verify consistency across official accounts, GitHub, Juejin, Bilibili.
• Core Projects: Define primary work, frameworks, and topics.
• Profile Descriptions: Verify how the LLM describes your role and focus area.

Summon "Brand GEO Diagnostic Expert" to evaluate personal IP.
Name: [Name].
Disambiguation: location, role, organization, key projects, official links.
Target Queries: What topics should recall my name?
Run brand, category, project, and comparison queries.
Output: Visibility index, accuracy, projects recall, disambiguation check, content gaps, and 30-day optimization suggestions.

Enterprise Brand Diagnostics: Focus on Strategy

Do not jump straight to publishing copy before diagnosing where the brand stands. Understand what the AI currently knows: citations, misunderstandings, risks, and competitor recommendations.

Key Checklist for Enterprise Brands:

• Brand Facts: Company name, products, target audience, core advantages.
• Business Scenarios: What customer problems should trigger your brand?
• Trust Citations: Customer case studies, media reports, industry reviews.
• Risk Mitigation: Outdated metrics, bad reviews, misconceptions.

Diagnostic Action Checklist:

• 30 Days: Update official site, README files, and documentation. Correct name spelling, pricing, and parameters.
• 60 Days: Add pages for user queries (solutions, comparisons, FAQs).
• 90 Days: Build external references (media releases, case studies, community topics).
