GEO Audit Tool
Generative Engine Optimization, Measured
A free, no-signup audit of whether your page is structured so AI systems can find, understand, and cite it — scored the same deterministic way as your SEO Health Score.
How GEO is scored
Four pillars, weighted
Evidence Density — 35%
Statistics, named entities, and a front-loaded, self-contained answer.
Structure & Position — 25%
FAQPage/Article schema, question-per-section content pattern.
Authority — 25%
A named author signal and a freshness signal.
AI Crawlability — 15%
llms.txt present, and whether AI bots are actually allowed to fetch the page.
Full grading rules, including when the score is capped or withheld, on the Methodology page.
GEO vs. AEO vs. SEO
Related, not the same
Classic SEO targets search-engine ranking. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) target the same underlying goal — being found and cited by AI systems — and in practice the two terms overlap heavily across the industry. This audit runs alongside your SEO Health Score, not instead of it, because ranking and AI citation both matter and neither guarantees the other.
What this doesn't do
No audit tool can guarantee an AI citation — that depends on the AI system's own retrieval and ranking. This measures the structural prerequisites, not the outcome. To see whether you're actually being cited today, pair this with AI citation tracking.
FAQ
GEO audit tool — FAQ
What is a GEO audit? +
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring content so AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can find, understand, and cite it. A GEO audit measures how ready a specific page is for that — a distinct discipline from classic SEO, run alongside it here rather than instead of it.
How is GEO different from AEO (answer engine optimization)? +
In practice the terms overlap heavily and are often used interchangeably across the industry. This audit focuses on the concrete, checkable signals either term implies: evidence density, answer structure, authority signals, and AI-crawler access — see the AEO vs. GEO article for the full terminology breakdown.
What does the GEO Readiness Score actually measure? +
Four weighted pillars: Evidence Density (35%) — statistics, named entities, a front-loaded answer; Structure & Position (25%) — FAQ/Article schema, question-per-section layout; Authority (25%) — author and freshness signals; AI Crawlability (15%) — llms.txt and whether AI bots are actually allowed to fetch the page. Full detail on the Methodology page.
Can a GEO audit guarantee my page gets cited by ChatGPT? +
No audit tool can guarantee a citation — that depends on the AI system's own retrieval and ranking, which nobody outside those companies controls. A GEO audit tells you whether the structural prerequisites for citation are in place; it does not and cannot promise the citation itself.
Is the GEO audit free? +
Yes — the GEO Readiness Score is part of the same free, no-signup check as the SEO Health Score. One URL, both scores.
