Editorial Policy of LLM Brand Monitoring
How LLM Brand Monitoring is written and sourced: organizational authorship, linked sources, data kept separate from examples, and how articles are updated.
This policy explains how LLM Brand Monitoring is written, sourced, reviewed and updated. It applies to every article on this site. The publication belongs to Ranqia’s editorial network, and this page is where that relationship, and its consequences for what we publish, is set out in full.
Who writes and publishes
LLM Brand Monitoring is produced by Ranqia, the company behind the Ranqia GEO platform. Articles are written and reviewed by Ranqia’s editorial team and published under organizational authorship. We do not invent authors, job titles or credentials, and we do not present the publication as editorially independent of Ranqia. Every page carries the note “A Ranqia editorial publication”, and the About page explains the purpose of this site and Ranqia’s role in it.
How we use sources
Claims about facts, figures and research are linked to a source the reader can open. When we cite a Ranqia study, we cite the published article, state its scope, sample, period and, where reported, its uncertainty, and we do not extend its findings beyond that scope. When we cite third parties, such as documentation from Google or a statistical reference from NIST, we describe what the source actually says rather than what would be convenient.
Sources are reviewed when an article is written. A review of sources is not the same as publication, and we do not present the date of a source check as a publication date.
We do not invent customers, testimonials, commercial results, awards, certifications, prices, integrations, language coverage or technical features. Where a detail about Ranqia is not public, we say so and suggest what a reader should ask.
Data, examples and hypotheticals
We keep three kinds of content visibly distinct:
| Kind of content | How we label it | What it can support |
|---|---|---|
| Published evidence | Named study, linked, with scope and period | Statements about what was observed in that study |
| Recommended practice | Presented as a recommendation or a method | Guidance a team may adopt and adapt |
| Illustrative example | Explicitly called hypothetical or illustrative | Understanding of a mechanism, never a claim about a real company |
An observational study is not treated as proof of causation. A worked calculation is labelled as illustrative and uses stated assumptions. A hypothetical company is never presented as a real case.
What we do not publish
We do not publish rankings of GEO tools, lists of agencies, invented scores or named comparisons between GEO platforms. When a comparison is useful, we compare clearly delimited approaches, such as one-off manual queries versus repeated sampling, and we do not attribute limitations to every other tool or provider. We do not promise positions, citations, indexing timelines or growth. We do not use ratings, review counts or FAQ markup to suggest search benefits that have not been confirmed.
Language and structure
The initial edition of this publication is written in English for an international readership. Each article has one title, a lead paragraph that answers the question the page addresses, a hierarchy of headings, complete tables and links to its sources. Titles and descriptions are written per page.
Updates and corrections
Articles that describe capabilities, methods or research are revisited when the underlying facts change. Substantive updates are made in the article itself rather than in a separate note, and the page’s modified date is kept accurate. If a source we relied on turns out to be wrong or to have changed materially, we correct the article rather than quietly adjusting the numbers. Readers who notice an error can reach Ranqia through ranqia.ai.
Relationship between the publications in this network
LLM Brand Monitoring is one of several publications in Ranqia’s editorial network, each with its own editorial line. We keep three things visibly separate: published evidence, recommended practice and hypothetical examples. A worked calculation is labelled as illustrative; a study result carries its scope and period. Links between publications are added only where they help the reader; we do not generate automatic cross-links between sites.
