What Mention role means in GEO
A single run does not describe real visibility. Metrics should be aggregated across comparable prompts, engines and dates.
Why it matters
Classify with explicit rules and review cases where the name appears in a citation but not in generated text.
What to check in practice
Document the formula, denominator, engines, prompts, location, period and error handling before interpreting the number.
How it connects to other concepts
Mention role belongs to visibility measurement. It is best analyzed alongside related terms because AI visibility depends on several stages and signals rather than one isolated optimization.
Common mistake
Comparing percentages from tools or periods that use different universes and weights.
