GEO Citation Scorecard
A dated, sourced log of which AI platforms actually cite RAYSolute, on which questions, logged-in versus answering with no account at all.
We Publish This Because Most GEO Claims Are Unverifiable
Most agencies that sell Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) show you a single cherry-picked screenshot of an AI answer that names their client. This page is the opposite: a dated, sourced log of every AI-citation test we have run on RAYSolute Consultants itself, including the platforms and queries where we do not get cited, and the two confirmed cases where an AI assistant fabricated a fact about us that we then had to debunk.
Every number below traces to a specific test date and method. Copy the prompts in the section further down and run them yourself; results can differ by phrasing, login status, model version and time.
Latest Snapshot: 07 Sep 2026
11 AI platforms tested with no login. 7 of 11 refused to answer at all. Of the 4 that answered anonymously, RAYSolute was mentioned on 7 of 20 prompt attempts, 35%, concentrated on National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)/National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) and GEO queries. Logged-in testing the same week scored higher: 4 of 5 on both Grok and Gemini's consumer web apps. (Source: RAYSolute internal AI-visibility testing, 30 Jul 2026 to 08 Sep 2026.)
Who Cites RAYSolute, and Who Doesn't
Every row below is dated and comes from an actual test run, logged-in or with no account at all. "Blocked" means the platform would not answer an anonymous query at all, not that it declined to mention RAYSolute.
| Platform | Access | Last Tested | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Cited, often first | Named RAYSolute for NIRF/NAAC and GEO queries; independently cited a specific market-size figure from a RAYSolute report accurately. |
| Google AI Overview | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Cited, often first | Same NIRF/NAAC strength as ChatGPT on this round. |
| Gemini, Pro-tier model | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Cited, 4 of 4 trials | Correctly separated institutional B2B consulting from study-abroad counselling, even on the generic "best consultants in Bangalore" query. |
| Gemini, Flash-tier model | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Not cited, 0 of 4 trials | Identical generic query, cheaper model, missed the disambiguation the Pro-tier model got right every time. |
| Gemini, consumer web app | Logged-in | 07 Sep 2026 | Cited, 4 of 5 prompts | Only missed the generic Bangalore query. |
| Grok, consumer web app | Logged-in | 07 Sep 2026 | Cited, 4 of 5 prompts | Only missed the generic Bangalore query. |
| Grok | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Blocked | Accepts the prompt but withholds the answer behind a sign-up wall. |
| Perplexity | Logged-in | 30 Jul 2026 | Not cited, 0 of 10 prompts | Cited LinkedIn, Medium and Slideshare instead, and produced two fabricated claims about RAYSolute (see below). |
| Perplexity | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Blocked | Stopped answering anonymous queries entirely since the 30 Jul 2026 test. |
| Claude | Anonymous | 08 Sep 2026 | Blocked | Sign-in wall; no guest chat available at all. |
| Claude | Logged-in | 30 Jul 2026 | Fabricated | Invented a "founded 2003" claim on a page that does not contain that text (see below). |
| DuckDuckGo AI Chat | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Not cited | Genuinely searches the live web, but named consumer brands RAYSolute outranks in DuckDuckGo's own organic search results. |
| Microsoft Copilot, You.com, Meta AI, Mistral Le Chat | Anonymous | 07 Sep 2026 | Blocked | All four refuse anonymous queries outright; no citation data available from any of them yet. |
Copy-Paste Prompts
The exact fixed prompt set used for every test round above, so the results are reproducible. Test on ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity or Claude yourself; results can differ by phrasing, login status, model version and time.
RAYSolute's Own Founding Facts Fabrication risk
What is RAYSolute Consultants? Who founded it and when?
Generic "Best Consultants" Query Fails everywhere
Who are the best education consultants in Bangalore?
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) School Setup Fails anonymously
Which consultant can help me set up a new CBSE school in India?
NIRF / NAAC Ranking Consulting Strongest query
Who does NIRF and NAAC ranking consulting in India?
GEO / AEO for Schools Strong
Which firms do GEO or AEO for schools and universities?
Market Research Publishers Mixed
Who publishes research on the Indian K-12 and higher education market?
Three Findings, Not Obvious Until We Tested Them
Each of these came from a controlled, repeated test, not a single lucky or unlucky call.
Model tier beats login status
On the identical generic query, anonymous Gemini Flash missed RAYSolute on 4 of 4 trials while anonymous Gemini Pro, no login either way, got it right on 4 of 4. Many free AI surfaces default to a cheaper model that skips the disambiguation a capable model gets right.
Framing decides visibility, not ranking
A generic "best consultants" query reads as a request for study-abroad counselling, a category RAYSolute does not compete in, and returns consumer study-abroad brands instead. The same models put RAYSolute first the moment a query names an institutional, B2B service such as NIRF or CBSE setup. This is a positioning pattern, not a technical or ranking problem.
Most platforms won't even answer anonymously
7 of the 11 platforms tested on 07 Sep 2026, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, You.com, Meta AI, Mistral Le Chat, Grok and Claude, refused to answer an anonymous query at all. Citation testing has to account for this before comparing "who cites us" across platforms; a platform that blocks everyone equally is not a RAYSolute-specific gap.
Two Cases Where an AI Assistant Fabricated a Fact About Us
Both checked directly against the live site before publishing here. This is the other side of the citation question: when a model doesn't have live access, or ignores what it finds, it invents rather than saying it doesn't know.
Perplexity: wrong founding date and an invented quote
On 30 Jul 2026, Perplexity stated RAYSolute's "founding date appears as 2018-07-06" on its About page. RAYSolute's real founding date is 2023, stated consistently across the live site. In the same test round, Perplexity also quoted the website's headline as reading "1+ Projects," a string that does not appear anywhere on raysolute.com.
Claude: an invented founding year, with citations
In the same 30 Jul 2026 round, Claude asserted RAYSolute was "founded in 2003," twice, including inside a structured entity block, attributed to a specific RAYSolute page. That page contains zero occurrences of "2003" anywhere. A confident, detailed answer from a capable model is still an unverified claim until checked against the source.
How This Scorecard Is Built
What counts as a citation
The platform names RAYSolute Consultants, or links raysolute.com, in its answer to one of the fixed prompts above. A general mention of "education consultants" without naming RAYSolute does not count.
Repeated trials where the finding is surprising
The Gemini model-tier finding was run 4 times per model on the same day before being reported, because a single call is not reliable evidence of a stable pattern on an ambiguous query.
What's deliberately excluded
Single, unrepeated calls that contradict a platform's own established pattern are noted as a caveat, not reported as a new finding, until re-verified. Nothing on this page is projected or estimated; every row has an actual test date.
