    Measuring AI Visibility ROI

    Finance teams want one number: pipeline per dollar invested. Here is how to get there with GEO.

    The attribution stack

    1. PRSNSS Score lift — leading indicator (visible in 2-4 weeks).

    2. AI referral traffic — Perplexity, Bing/Copilot and Gemini emit referrers; ChatGPT and Claude largely do not.

    3. Branded direct traffic lift — proxy for unattributed AI mentions.

    4. Pipeline tagged "AI-influenced" — ask in demo forms.

    Benchmark conversion rates (PRESENSS data, 2026)

    • Perplexity: 4.2% click-to-MQL
    • Copilot/Bing: 3.1%
    • ChatGPT (direct): 0.9% (mostly invisible)
    • AI Overviews: 1.4%

    Forecasting model

    Incremental MQLs ≈ Δ(PRSNSS) × monthly_query_volume × engine_share × 0.011

    FAQ

    Is GEO measurable?

    Yes — directly for Perplexity/Copilot, indirectly for ChatGPT/Claude via branded-search lift.
