Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is 远航智搜 and what problem does it solve?

远航智搜 (VoyageG, voyagetoai.com) is a GEO/AEO platform. It helps brands monitor, in real time, their visibility and citation rate across AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Doubao, Kimi and ERNIE, and provides a 13-dimension content score plus one-click optimization so your brand gets mentioned, cited and recommended in the answers AI gives to users.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and how does it differ from traditional SEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) means optimizing content so it is more easily understood, cited and recommended by generative AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Traditional SEO optimizes a page's ranking in search results, aiming to get users to click your link; GEO optimizes whether your brand is mentioned and cited inside AI-generated answers, because more and more users now ask AI directly instead of clicking through links. 远航智搜 covers both GEO and SEO metrics.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)? Is it the same as GEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on making your content the source of the direct answer for AI or search engines, emphasizing answer-first writing, Q&A structure, structured data (Schema) and extractability. GEO is broader and covers overall visibility across generative AI; AEO is the part of it concerned with precise answer extraction. 远航智搜's 13-dimension score includes 9 GEO dimensions plus 4 AEO dimensions, evaluating both together.

Which AI platforms can 远航智搜 monitor?

远航智搜 covers leading AI search engines both in China and abroad. International platforms include ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini; domestic platforms include Doubao, Kimi, ERNIE (文心一言), Qwen (通义千问) and DeepSeek. The platform collects these AIs' real responses to relevant questions and analyzes whether your brand is mentioned, where it ranks, and which sources are cited.

What exactly are the 13 scoring dimensions?

The 13 dimensions fall into two groups. The 9 GEO dimensions are: authoritative tone, data support, cited sources, expert quotes, readability, fluency, technical terminology, keyword stuffing (scored inversely) and E-E-A-T signals. The 4 AEO dimensions are: answer-first structure, structured markup (Schema), Q&A structure and extractability. Each dimension comes with a score and concrete improvement suggestions, and can be optimized with one click.

How can I improve my brand's citation rate in AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Key tactics to raise your AI citation rate: 1) put the answer first, placing the core conclusion at the start of the paragraph; 2) organize content with a Q&A structure; 3) back it with concrete data, sources and expert quotes to strengthen credibility (E-E-A-T); 4) add structured data such as FAQPage and Organization; 5) earn mentions on authoritative sites and frequently-cited sources. 远航智搜 first scores your content across these 13 dimensions, then rewrites and optimizes the weak areas with one click.

How is 远航智搜 different from competitors like SE Visible, Profound and Peec AI?

Most competitors (SE Visible, Profound, Peec AI and others) only offer monitoring - they tell you how your brand performs in AI but don't help you improve it. 远航智搜 delivers a complete check-and-optimize loop: it not only monitors visibility but also gives a 13-dimension score, rewrites content with one click and generates structured data. 远航智搜 also natively supports Chinese content and domestic AI platforms, at roughly one-tenth the price of overseas competitors.

Does 远航智搜 support Chinese content and domestic AI platforms?

Yes. 远航智搜 is natively designed for Chinese-language use cases, with Chinese as its primary language, and focuses on domestic AI platforms such as Doubao, Kimi, ERNIE (文心一言), Qwen (通义千问) and DeepSeek, while also covering international platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. GEO/AEO scores and optimization suggestions for Chinese content are all given in the appropriate Chinese-language context.

Does 远航智搜 cost money? Is there a free version?

There is a forever-free tier. The free version lets you score a single piece of content's AI visibility directly, with no sign-up required. Paid plans provide the full feature set, including continuous brand monitoring, competitor comparison, citation-source analysis and one-click optimization. See the pricing page (/pricing) for details; overall pricing is roughly one-tenth that of comparable overseas products.

How long does a check take? Do I need to register?

A GEO/AEO score for a single piece of content takes about 30 seconds, free and with no sign-up. To continuously monitor your brand's visibility across multiple AI platforms and run competitor comparisons and trend analysis, you'll need to register and create a brand project; the first full scan usually takes from a few minutes to around fifteen minutes.

Does 远航智搜 store my content? Is my data secure?

Free checks do not store the raw content you submit; it is used only for instant scoring. Data from brand-monitoring projects created by registered users is used to generate your own dashboards and reports and is never made public. We rate-limit requests to keep the service stable and secure.

What kind of content is more likely to be cited by AI?

Content that AI is more likely to cite usually has: the core answer up front, a clear Q&A or subheading structure, concrete and verifiable data and sources, authoritative and trustworthy bylines and expert opinions (E-E-A-T), and structured-data markup such as FAQPage and Article. 远航智搜's 13-dimension score is designed precisely around these traits, and after a check you can optimize your content into a more citable form with one click.
