Fake GEO: asking AI more is not optimization
What usually moves generative answers is authority, citable public content, and pages that still name you — not how many times you probed today.

More users ask AI directly. Brands want relevant answers to include their name.
What usually changes mention probability is not probe volume. It is third-party authority, verifiable public content, and live pages that still name you. Probes verify; they are not the main lever.
Fake GEO 1: probe-only with no content or authority work.
Fake GEO 2: marking “submitted” as success without true indexing.
Fake GEO 3: mock data as delivery.
Accept in layers: pipeline health can be stage success; citations are a plus; mention rate alone is never campaign success. Pipeline ready ≠ guaranteed mention.
Sourced sells pipeline and evidence packs — not guaranteed mentions. Free domestic basics + Pro (~¥1,980 / year) for overseas and advanced features; done-for-you available.
