How are RankWit credits calculated?
Arrow

Credits determine how much AI tracking you perform.
A single credit = 1 prompt × 1 AI model.

For example:

  • 10 prompts
  • × 3 AI models (ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Perplexity)
    = 30 credits

This transparent system ensures you only pay for the tracking you use.

How is GEO different from SEO?
Arrow

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is not a rebrand of SEO—it’s a response to an entirely new environment. SEO optimizes for bots that crawl, index, and rank. GEO optimizes for large language models (LLMs) that read, learn, and generate human-like answers.

While SEO is built around keywords and backlinks, GEO is about semantic clarity, contextual authority, and conversational structuring. You're not trying to please an algorithm—you’re helping an AI understand and echo your ideas accurately in its responses. It's not just about being found—it's about being spoken for.
