Claim: GEO tools can see your rankings inside Google's AI

What the verdict does not say
Section titled “What the verdict does not say”- That third-party tools are useless. Tools that run their own prompts and record cited sources are observing from outside. That can be useful if the method is disclosed and results are sampled repeatedly, since AI answers vary between runs.
