First place on Google is the ticket, not the seat.
AI engines do not simply summarise the top ten. Which sources they prefer in your category is an empirical question. And being mentioned, cited and recommended are three different things.

How much does a GEO audit cost?
A GEO audit at PicoBit.AI costs €950 (Basic Check) or from €3,500 (Full Analysis), excl. VAT, one-off. The Basic Check measures 15 buying-intent prompts in five AI systems, each three times: 225 measurements. The Full Analysis covers all seven AI systems and adds a technical audit, a competitor analysis and a prioritised plan.

What's in the Basic Check
225 individual measurements: 15 buying-intent prompts, five AI systems, each prompt three times. Every run in a new conversation with no history, with sources and date.
Three times, because AI systems don't give the same answer every time. Asking once tells you: mentioned or not. Asking three times tells you: in three out of three runs, in one out of three, in none. Only that is a measurement.
Plus a written finding that shows where it breaks down (crawling, retrieval, citation or recommendation) and what to fix first.
Two readings. What really happened in between.
The bar shows the sample's spread. If the movement lies within it, we measured no change, and the report says so. The third row is the case nobody else shows: up, but within the spread.
| Brand | Baseline | Follow-up | Spread | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your company | 7 % | 19 % | ±4 | +12, measured change |
| Hollweg Antriebstechnik | 38 % | 31 % | ±5 | -7, measured change |
| Marenholt Systeme | 29 % | 33 % | ±6 | +4, within the spread |
| Rieckert & Sohn | 19 % | 18 % | ±3 | -1, within the spread |

What the report contains
- Share of answers
Per engine and overall, against competitors, with sample size and spread.
- Mentions, citations, recommendations
Three separate figures, because they have three different causes.
- Errors
Every false statement with wording, date and frequency.
- Sources
Which websites the engines cite in your category, and whether yours is among them.
- Technical findings
Crawler access, readability without JavaScript, the first characters of every page.
- Raw data
Date, prompt-set version, runs, engines, wording. Every claim is traceable.
Questions about the audit
How much does a GEO audit cost?
€950 for the Basic Check, from €3,500 for the Full Analysis (excl. VAT, one-off). The Basic Check is credited against the Full Analysis.
Why not a single snapshot?
Because it proves nothing. Only comparing two readings shows whether a figure is stable and whether an action worked.
How many questions are in the set?
As many as your buying situations yield. The number is in the proposal. What matters more is separating questions with and without your name.
Do you analyse competitors too?
Yes, in the same set with the same figures. A technical review of other companies' websites is not included.
Which language do you measure in?
The language your buyers use. German questions surface different brands and sources than English ones. For further markets, questions are rewritten, not translated.
What can you not measure?
We have no view into training data: we see that an engine prefers a source, not why. A published question set stands in for what individual customers actually asked. There is no cleanly isolated revenue contribution, because many AI visits arrive without a referrer.
