Retrieval evaluation
Checking whether the right passages come back for a prompt set. Search-quality work. GEO teams can do a poor-person version by reading citations.
If the citations are always off-topic, retrieval is broken upstream of your brand.
If they’re on-topic but never you, you have a competitiveness problem.
Examples
- For “timeout errors,” engines cite a marketing blog, not /docs/errors. Retrieval picked the wrong type.
