Learn how Gemini can discover information about businesses and how Zire measures your visibility across relevant answers. ### How do I appear in Gemini answers? Start with strong Google Search fundamentals: make important public pages crawlable, indexable and easy to discover, then publish original and useful information around the questions customers ask when researching your products or services. Zire monitors those questions to show whether Gemini actually mentions, recommends or cites your brand. ### Does Gemini use Google Search? Yes. Gemini Apps can use public information from Google Search. This makes strong Search visibility, crawlability and useful indexed content particularly relevant when optimising for Gemini. ### What is Google-Extended? Google-Extended is a robots.txt product token that lets publishers control whether Google-crawled content may be used for Gemini model training and for grounding in Gemini Apps and supported Vertex AI experiences. ### Does Google-Extended affect my Google rankings? No. Google states that Google-Extended does not affect a site’s inclusion in Google Search and is not used as a Google Search ranking signal. ### Can Gemini use Google Maps information? Gemini Apps can use public Google Maps information for supported experiences, including business names, websites, addresses, descriptions, ratings and opening information. For local businesses, accurate public business information can therefore be particularly useful. ### Can Gemini use YouTube content? Yes. Supported Gemini experiences can use public YouTube information to find videos and understand video content. Useful video can therefore complement your written content when it genuinely helps customers understand your products or services. ### Do I need special AI schema for Gemini? Do not rely on invented AI-only markup or files as a shortcut. Google’s published AI Search guidance continues to recommend normal technical SEO, useful visible content and structured data that accurately matches what users can see on the page. ### Can Gemini cite my website? Gemini can surface links and supporting sources in relevant experiences. Zire tracks citations separately from mentions and recommendations so you can see when your own website is being used as supporting evidence. ### How does Zire track Gemini visibility? Zire repeatedly runs the customer questions you monitor, stores Gemini responses and analyses brand mentions, recommendations, citations, competitor appearances and supporting sources over time. ### How can I improve my Gemini visibility? Use your monitored answers as evidence. Zire identifies which brands and sources are appearing, what information stronger content contains and where your own presence is missing, then turns those gaps into practical optimisation recommendations.
