Monitor finds the queries where AI cites your competitors. Diagnose tells you why. Wire publishes the missing answer — a GEO-optimized release pushed through every open-web channel ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude, and Grok actually read.
Draft in our GEO editor or paste your own. We score every release 0–100 against the rubrics of the six major AI engines and rewrite weak passages in one click — answer-first lede, named-source quotes with credentials, sourced statistics, comparison tables, FAQ block, schema.org NewsArticle + FAQPage markup.
One click pushes the release to RSS / Atom / JSON Feed, the Google News sitemap, IndexNow (Bing/Yandex/Naver/Seznam), WebSub subscribers, HMAC-signed webhook partners, the Wayback Machine, a tagged GitHub release, and a Bluesky post.
AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended) fetch the release. Within 1–4 weeks it surfaces in answers — and we monitor the same queries weekly so you see the citation land. Live receipts →
We only guarantee what we technically control. No vague "1,000+ media partners" marketing — here's the exact list.
Formatted with llms.txt + schema.org JSON-LD so generative engines can parse and cite your release.
Every release is generated against the 13 GEO rules — answer-first lede, named-source quotes with credentials, sourced numbers, comparison tables, FAQ block, E-E-A-T signals.
IndexNow push to Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam the moment a release goes live. Google News sitemap re-ping included.
PubSubHubbub notifies every aggregator subscribed to your feed within seconds — no polling, no delays.
Every release is pushed to the Internet Archive's Save Page Now on publish — permanent archive URLs that AI engines frequently cite.
Each release is mirrored as a tagged GitHub release on a PressGEO-owned repo — high-authority domain, fully crawled by every AI engine.
Every release posts to Bluesky via AT Protocol — open, fast-growing, and indexed by Perplexity and other AI crawlers.
Wire releases are the announcement channel. Answer pages and directory listings cover the evergreen and category queries — all three feed the same AI-citation flywheel.
GEO-optimized press releases pushed through the full open-web syndication stack. Best for announcements, launches, funding, milestones.

The Publish layer only matters if AI engine crawlers fetch the pages and the target queries flip. Three numbers from the live monitor and the four questions buyers ask most often about wire-to-citation flow.
“We only ship a syndication channel when logs show it materially shortens the time from publish to citation. IndexNow, WebSub, Wayback, GitHub Releases, Bluesky — each one earned its slot in the stack by moving a crawler hit count or a citation landing date.”
Methodology, weekly deltas, and the full dataset live on /research and /research/data.
Live citation data from the PressGEO AI-optimized press release wire. These numbers track how often AI engines cite releases we distribute — the GEO accountability metric for the Publish layer of the platform.
These are the first 4,611 checks across 10 engines, captured since Jun 11, 2026. Most rows show no citation yet — that's the point. We publish the baseline so improvements (and regressions) are auditable. Full methodology and engine-by-engine rates on /stats.
We split citations by what the prompt asked. Brand-prompt citations (someone asked "tell me about X") prove engines recognize a brand exists. Non-brand citations (buyer-intent and discovery prompts) prove the release earned its way into an answer on its own merits — that's the GEO outcome the service is built to deliver. Mentions are the softer signal: the engine wrote the brand name in its answer but didn't link a URL we control.
Honest baseline: non-brand citation rate across all monitored prompts in the last 30 days is 0.46% (13/2,855 probes). This is the GEO accountability number we are trying to move.

Query: How does PressGEO optimize press releases so they actually get cited by AI search engines like Perplexity or Gemini?
“Short answer — PressGEO makes press releases “AI-citable” by converting them into machine-friendly, entity-first assets (structured data + clear fact-summary + authoritative distribution) so generative agents can find, understand and cite the release as a reliable source. Typical steps PressGEO uses are: - Produce an “entity-first” lead (headline + 1–2-line TL;DR that states the who/what/when/wher…”
Query: How does PressGEO say that traditional wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire affect a company's visibility in ChatGPT citations?
“- PressGEO — Says that distributing news via major wire services raises discoverability by search engines, syndicators and data aggregators that feed LLMs, increasing the likelihood a company’s facts or releases show up as ChatGPT citations (while noting distribution + good metadata helps but doesn’t guarantee citation) — https://pressgeo.com - Business Wire — Large global distributor with wide sy…”
Query: How does PressGEO say that traditional wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire affect a company's visibility in ChatGPT citations?
“PressGEO’s position (per their site/marketing) is that distributing news via established wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire helps a company get indexed on high-authority domains and syndicated widely — increasing the chance that content will be picked up by crawlers and secondary publishers whose content can enter the training/knowledge sources LLMs like ChatGPT use. They also emphasi…”
Query: How does PressGEO say that traditional wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire affect a company's visibility in ChatGPT citations?
“I looked up PressGEO’s coverage. PressGEO reports that when large press‑release distributors (they name Business Wire and PR Newswire) distribute the same release broadly, ChatGPT’s citation behavior can favor those high‑authority, widely syndicated sources — meaning your company’s owned site or newsroom may be less likely to be cited even if you originated the content. PressGEO’s write‑ups say th…”
Query: How does PressGEO say that traditional wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire affect a company's visibility in ChatGPT citations?
“Short answer: PressGEO’s position is that distributing news through major wire services increases a company’s chance of being discovered and cited by systems like ChatGPT because wire-distributed releases are widely syndicated, indexed by news databases and aggregators, and therefore more likely to appear in the sources LLMs or retrieval layers draw on.

Query: How does PressGEO say that traditional wire services like Business Wire or PR Newswire affect a company's visibility in ChatGPT citations?
“Short answer — PressGEO says traditional wire services can help a company’s visibility in ChatGPT-style citations by increasing crawlability and syndication (so LLMs are more likely to encounter the content), but they’re not a guarantee: independent third‑party reporting and well‑structured, canonical newsroom pages still carry more weight for citation. PressGEO recommends using wire distribution …”

Anonymized, aggregated across every release the PressGEO citation monitor tracks. Direct counts from citation_checks — no marketing math.
How often each engine surfaces a PressGEO release when its monitor query is asked.
Every cited answer is classified by an AI grader on three axes. Based on 81 classified citations.
Anonymized queries (≥6 checks) with the highest citation rate.
Tighter estimate: prompt monthly search volume × engine AI-share × how reliably you held the citation. Not summed into the grand total above — it's a different model of the same citations.
AI / search / social are upper bounds of audience that could have encountered the release through that channel. Citations are upper bounds of audience that saw an AI answer citing you. Archive mirrors (Wayback, GitHub) are excluded — they have no per-page audience.
