Zen Media has introduced tools that provide PR teams with citation-level data from generative AI platforms, addressing a longstanding measurement gap in the industry. The company's AVOS system tracks citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Grok and Claude. Google AI Overviews now appear on roughly 50% of US search queries and over 70% of informational queries as of March 2026, according to Google Search Central. Princeton GEO research shows that 93.67% of AI Overview citations include at least one top-10 organic result, whilst 94% of cited links are non-paid media. Zen Media's framework measures Answer Share, prompt coverage and recency-weighted citations alongside traditional PR metrics. The company's ZAVI Enterprise Intelligence maps target prompts to current AI answers, establishing baselines before content deployment.

Zen Media launches GEO GPT to track brand visibility in ai-generated answers. Zen Media has introduced GEO GPT(TM), a new analytics tool designed to help companies measure how often their brands appear in AI-generated responses across platforms such as ChatGPT and other generative search tools. As AI increasingly shapes how buyers research vendors and products, the tool aims to give marketers visibility into a channel that has traditionally been difficult to measure. GEO GPT evaluates real buyer-style prompts and analyzes whether a brand is mentioned when AI systems recommend vendors or solutions. It tracks several metrics including brand mention frequency, recommendation position within answers, and instances where competing brands replace or outrank a company in AI responses. The platform also now includes a new performance metric, which is referred to as "Answer Share(TM)." This metric essentially measures the percentage of AI prompts in which the brand is included. This allows marketers to better understand the value of the platform in terms of the brand's overall presence in the realm of AI. The platform essentially allows marketers to gain further insights into the way in which their brand is represented within the realm of AI, which is now more important than ever as the traditional SEO model continues to evolve into the realm of generative engine optimization. This essentially requires marketers to ensure that their brand is recognized and included within the realm of AI, which is now playing a more critical role in the way in which consumers make purchasing decisions.
