Question 1

What is a Selection Score?

Accepted Answer

A Selection Score is the percentage of AI search responses that name your brand when answering questions in your category. It measures how often AI engines select your brand as part of their answer, across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.

Question 2

How quickly will I see impact?

Accepted Answer

You see your first Selection Score in under 60 seconds from domain submission. NextGenIQ then runs a 14-day impact burst window where brands typically see citation rate changes in response to optimization actions.

Question 3

Which AI engines does NextGenIQ track?

Accepted Answer

Top AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Each is queried directly with 15 prompts in your category, refreshed on a continuous schedule.

Question 4

How does NextGenIQ differ from traditional SEO tools?

Accepted Answer

SEO tools measure ranking on a results page. NextGenIQ measures whether AI engines select your brand to include in their answer at all. AI search does not rank a list of links; it picks a small set of sources and synthesizes an answer. If your brand is not selected, you are not part of the decision.

Question 5

What is a Selection Gap?

Accepted Answer

A Selection Gap is the difference between your current Selection Score and the Selection Score of the brands AI engines are choosing instead of you. It is the specific, measurable opportunity NextGenIQ identifies and helps you close, prompt cluster by prompt cluster.

Question 6

Do I need technical knowledge to use NextGenIQ?

Accepted Answer

No. NextGenIQ is built for marketing teams. Submit your domain, the system auto-generates the prompt set, and the dashboard surfaces the optimizations in plain language. The intelligence layer runs in the background; you act on the recommendations.
