# Mentio — AI Visibility Platform for Local Business > Mentio (getmentio.io) helps local businesses monitor and improve their visibility > in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other AI assistants. --- ## What Mentio Does Mentio solves a critical problem for local businesses: most businesses don't know whether AI assistants recommend them when users ask questions like "best auto repair shop near me" or "top dentist in Kyiv." Mentio monitors, measures, and improves that AI visibility. **Core workflow:** Monitor → Analyze → Plan → Implement → Re-measure → Grow --- ## Key Features ### GEO Score (0–100) The single metric for AI visibility, calculated as: - 40% Mention Score — how often the business is mentioned across AI responses - 30% Quality Score — position in AI recommendations (top 3 vs mentioned vs absent) - 20% Sentiment Score — tone and context of AI mentions - 10% Citation Score — whether AI cites authoritative sources referencing the business ### AI Monitoring Runs 30–200 queries per month across 3 AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity). Detects when AI starts or stops recommending a business.

It complements traditional SEO — improvements that help AI visibility (schema.org, FAQ pages, llms.txt, NAP consistency) also improve Google rankings. **How is Mentio different from SEO tools?** Traditional SEO tools measure rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs). Mentio measures visibility in AI-generated answers. These are different channels: Google Search vs ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity responses. Mentio optimizes for the latter. **What is an AI hallucination in business context?** When an AI assistant states incorrect facts about a business — wrong address, outdated hours, non-existent services, or invented phone numbers. Mentio's Accuracy Checker detects these. **How does the Influence Engine work?** After each monitoring cycle, Mentio analyzes why competitors are mentioned and the business is not. It generates a prioritized action list: e.g., "Add FAQ about pricing — Perplexity cites sites with explicit pricing 3x more often" or "Register on 2GIS — it's cited in 47% of local queries in your region." **What is an AI backlink?** Analogous to SEO backlinks, but for AI. Every authoritative platform (Google Maps, 2GIS, Yelp, Wikipedia, industry directories) that AI assistants cite when discussing your business category is an AI backlink source. Mentio tracks which platforms provide these citations. **What is llms.txt?** A standardized file (similar to robots.txt) placed at the root of a website to help AI assistants understand what the business does, what services it offers, and how to describe it accurately. Mentio's Influence Engine generates a custom llms.txt for each client. **How long does it take to see GEO Score improvement?** Based on case studies: 30–60 days for first measurable improvements after implementing Influence Engine recommendations. Full impact is typically visible in 60–90 days. --- ## Free Tools ### GEO Score Checker Check your business's AI visibility score (0–100) across ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
