AMEC GEO Principles: why AI visibility needs evidence, not hype

The launch of the AMEC GEO Principles is an important moment for communications, research and reputation measurement. It matters because generative engine optimisation, or GEO, is already moving quickly from an emerging discipline into a commercial priority. More organisations are asking how they appear in AI-generated answers, whether they are being recommended, how competitors are…

Different AI platforms recommending different brands based on semantic authority and reputation signals

Why Your Brand Appears Differently Across AI Platforms

One of the most important emerging realities in AI search is that different AI platforms often recommend completely different brands. A company may appear consistently in ChatGPT, surface strongly in Perplexity AI, but barely appear at all in Google AI Overviews or Grok. This can happen even when: At first glance, this can feel inconsistent or unpredictable. In…

Yet many organisations still measure perception as if it were a single, consistent view. The result is an incomplete picture. Understanding how perception varies across different…

How to Measure the Impact of a PR Campaign

Measuring the impact of a PR campaign should be straightforward. You run a campaign, generate coverage, and assess what changed. In reality, it is rarely that simple. Too often, evaluation focuses on what is easiest to measure rather than what actually matters. Coverage is counted, impressions are estimated, and reports are produced, but the fundamental…

Measuring Brand Reputation

How to measure brand reputation effectively (and what most organisations get wrong)

Brand reputation is often treated as something that can be summarised in a single score, star rating or league table ranking. In reality, it is far more complex. Reputation is the combination of how an organisation is perceived, how those perceptions influence behaviour, and how narratives about that organisation are shaped and shared across different…
