Questions, answered plainly
The things brand, comms and SEO teams ask us first.
Can I track how Chinese AI engines like Doubao, DeepSeek or Kimi talk about my brand?
Yes. That is the core of MPower GEO Lens. We query five Chinese engines (Doubao, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qianwen, Ernie) and five Western engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Meta Llama, Perplexity, Grok) with the buyer questions that matter to you, in Chinese and English, then measure mention rate, share of voice, ranking position, sentiment and cited sources for your brand and competitors.
What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?
GEO is the practice of measuring and improving how generative AI engines describe and recommend a brand when users ask them questions. It is the successor discipline to SEO: the answer box is now the whole page. GEO starts with measurement: you cannot improve an answer you have never seen.
Why do Western AI visibility platforms miss China?
Western platforms track ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and similar engines, but hundreds of millions of consumers inside China ask Doubao, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qianwen and Ernie instead. Those engines train on different sources, answer in Chinese, and frequently disagree with Western engines about the same brands. A China-blind audit is half an audit.
Do you cover Western engines too, or only Chinese ones?
Both, from one desk. Every audit runs the same prompts across both hemispheres so you can compare like with like: the same question, asked in the buyer's language, scored the same way on every engine.
How is the demo data on this site produced?
It is a real audit. We ran ten electric-vehicle buyer prompts across nine engines in three sampling waves, in Chinese for Chinese engines and English for Western ones, and published the aggregated results unedited. Methodology notes, including which engines are API models rather than consumer apps, are stated alongside the data.
What does MPower GEO Lens cost?
Pricing depends on markets, engine set, prompt volume and cadence. Write to rio.chen@mpowerlabs.ai with your brand and markets and we will scope it with you. We reply within one business day.
Can I plug the engines into my own AI tools?
Yes. GEO Lens ships as an MCP server, so Claude, custom agents and other MCP clients can query all ten engines and run share-of-voice audits as native tool calls inside your own workflows.
How often can you monitor?
One-time audits, monthly or weekly tracking waves, and always-on alerting are all available. Repeat sampling matters: single runs are noisy, so movements are only treated as real when they persist across waves.
