Generative engine optimization
Free GEO Checker
Generative engines write the answer and cite their sources. This free GEO checker audits whether your site can be retrieved, parsed, and cited by AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, and Perplexity, with a documented score rather than a made-up one.

Why does GEO need its own audit?
Generative engines add a retrieval layer on top of classic indexing. A model fetches candidate sources, reads them, and decides what to cite, so a page can rank fine in classic search yet be invisible here. Common causes include a firewall silently blocking AI bots, content that only exists after JavaScript runs, and pages that never state an answer plainly enough to quote. Our full guide walks through the mechanics. Read the complete GEO guide.
How does the GEO checker score your page?
It runs the open 21-check AIO Score methodology: retrievability carries 35 points, machine-readable content 30, answer readiness 30, and structured data 5. That last weight is small on purpose, because controlled studies keep finding schema barely moves AI citations. Every check maps to a step-by-step fix guide, so the report reads as a work list.
What moves a GEO score fastest?
Unblock every AI crawler at both the robots.txt and firewall layers, make sure your content exists in the raw HTML, and restructure key pages so each section opens with a direct answer. Google AI Overviews pull heavily from pages that already rank, which is why the boring SEO fundamentals still gate everything. Learn how AI Overviews pick sources.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers first. That happens to be the whole philosophy.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for generative engine optimization: making your content visible in generative search experiences like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, and Perplexity. Instead of a ranked list, a model writes the answer and cites sources. GEO is the work of being retrieved and cited by that model.
What does this GEO checker analyze?
The on-page factors generative engines depend on. Can their crawlers reach your site, past both robots.txt and your firewall? Is your markup readable without JavaScript? Is your content structured so a model can lift a citation? Each factor is a documented check with a published weight.
Is GEO the same as AEO?
Near enough that one scan covers both. Different communities coined different acronyms: GEO emphasizes visibility in generative search engines, AEO emphasizes being the answer. The on-page work converges on access, structure, and answer-shaped content.
Can GEO be measured honestly?
On-page readiness can, and that is what this scan does with 21 deterministic checks. What models actually say about your brand requires live querying, which we treat as a separate future layer. We would rather show you a real number for one thing than a fake number for everything.
