How long does it take to change negative brand perception in AI responses?

For RAG systems (Perplexity, ChatGPT Search): 5-9 weeks with strong content strategy. For training-based LLMs: 8-14 months until model retraining. Focus on RAG platforms first for faster wins. Consistent positive content, addressing negative feedback publicly, and third-party validation (reviews, press) accelerate perception shift. Tracking reveals perception changes weekly to measure progress.

Can brand perception vary across different AI platforms?

Yes, significantly. Each platform has different training data, update frequencies, and source preferences. ChatGPT might reflect older perception from its training cutoff, while Perplexity shows current web sentiment. Claude might emphasize different brand attributes based on its training priorities. Monitor platform-specific perception to understand where correction efforts are needed most urgently.

What's more important: mention frequency or positive perception?

Both matter, but perception quality trumps quantity. Being mentioned 100 times with negative perception ('buggy software') hurts more than 20 positive mentions ('reliable tool'). Ideal: high frequency with positive perception. If choosing, prioritize perception—10 glowing mentions beat 50 neutral ones for conversion impact. The platform tracks both metrics, helping balance visibility with perception quality.

What is Brand Perception?

Brand Perception encompasses all qualitative aspects of how LLMs present your brand: tone (positive/negative/neutral), positioning (leader/challenger/niche), associated attributes (innovative, reliable, expensive), and context (industry standing, use cases). Unlike simple mention counting, brand perception analyzes the narrative around your brand. Strong brand perception means LLMs consistently describe your brand favorably, position you appropriately in your market, and associate you with desirable qualities. This is a key GEO outcome metric.
