What AI hallucination means in GEO
A brand mention and a URL citation are different signals. This category separates presence, evidence and attribution quality.
Why it matters
Monitor sensitive questions, publish a clear canonical source and document incorrect answers before correcting external signals.
What to check in practice
Save the claim, cited URL and source passage. This makes it possible to verify whether attribution is correct and sufficient.
How it connects to other concepts
AI hallucination belongs to citations and sources. It is best analyzed alongside related terms because AI visibility depends on several stages and signals rather than one isolated optimization.
Common mistake
Counting every link as a valid citation without checking which claim it supports.
