A likely range and a test, printed with every reading
Geneo's Brand Visibility Score runs from 0 to 100, with a recommended target of 85 or more (get started). Geneo publishes no likely range for any figure, no count of the answers behind it and no test for when a change is real.
BotSay asks the same questions of the same six engines every week and compares the week with the one before. Your Mention rate comes with its likely range, the span the true rate almost certainly sits in, and the number of answers behind it. When the rate moves, BotSay runs the exact test on both weeks and labels the change as real once it clears their combined uncertainty. Share of voice, Average rank, Your pages cited and Sentiment show each week's figure and how it moved. Below, an invented brand's two weekly ranges sit clear of each other.
The figures as a table
| Week | Mention rate | Likely range (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Last week | 27.8% | 25.1 to 30.7 |
| This week | 34.0% | 31.1 to 37.0 |

BotSay ranks the work by how many questions it could win
Geneo gives content recommendations sorted by priority (product introduction), and does not describe how they are scored.
BotSay's action list gives each item the number of your questions it could win, with the answers that show it:
- Pages to write: topics where rivals are named and you are not.
- Places to be mentioned: the review sites, communities and publishers the engines lean on, and whether you are on them.
- Quick decisions: small choices that make your numbers more accurate, like confirming which sites are yours.
Once you publish, BotSay follows the questions that work was meant to win and labels the change in Mention rate when it is real.

- All six engines on every plan, Claude and Google AI Mode included.
