## Knowledge base

### Understand AI visibility

- [SEO gets you found. GEO helps you get recommended.](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/seo-vs-geo): Why your position in AI answers is a different business signal from your ranking, and how GEO builds on the SEO you already have.
- [How to run an AI visibility audit that tells you something](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/ai-visibility-audit): Choose buyer questions, check the relevant AI answer engines, and record a baseline you can compare over time.

### Know the answer engines

- [Five AI answer engines, five different shortlists](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/ai-answer-surfaces): Compare AI Overviews, ChatGPT, AI Mode, Gemini, and Perplexity: their audiences, answer formats, and citation behavior.
- [Where an AI answer gets its sources](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/how-ai-picks-sources): Follow the path from finding a page to citing it, and work out which stage drops you: crawler access, relevance, or evidence.

### Improve your presence

- [Your brand is absent. What should you fix first?](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/brand-absent-fix-first): A decision tree that turns “AI doesn’t mention us” into one job: a content gap, a weak entity, missing third-party coverage, thin proof, or a blocked crawler.
- [How to close an AI citation gap](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/close-citation-gap): Read the sources an AI answer already cites, work out what evidence your own page lacks, and decide what to publish next.
- [Can AI crawlers actually reach your site?](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/ai-crawler-access): Answer bots and training bots are two different decisions. Audit them separately, and know what robots.txt can and cannot fix.

### Track what changes

- [How to read an AI visibility notification](https://askwords.ai/knowledge-base/read-visibility-notification): Understand changes between cited, mentioned, and absent, how rechecks work, and when a notification is worth investigating.
