GEO Readiness Checker

Check if your website is ready for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — in one comprehensive audit.

Last updated: April 2026

How does GEO work?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making your website visible and citable by AI search engines. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in blue links, GEO ensures your content is picked up, quoted, and referenced by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude.

AI search engines work differently: they crawl your content, parse structured data, check for machine-readable signals, and decide whether your site is a trustworthy source to cite. If your robots.txt blocks AI bots, if you lack structured data, or if your content isn't formatted for easy extraction — AI engines may skip you entirely.

What does this tool check?

The GEO Readiness Checker audits your site across 7 categories that matter for AI search visibility:

AI Crawler Access — Are GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and other AI crawlers allowed?
llms.txt — Does your site provide an AI-readable guide for LLM crawlers?
AI-Intent Meta Signals — Are max-snippet, lang, and indexing directives configured for AI?
Structured Data Quality — Is your JSON-LD schema complete with Organization, sameAs, and entity IDs?
Content Citability — Is your content structured for easy AI extraction and quoting?
Technical AI Signals — HTTPS, canonical, response time, hreflang?
Social & Entity Signals — Open Graph, Twitter Card, author signals?

FAQ

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?+

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It's the practice of optimizing your website so AI-powered search engines — like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude — can discover, understand, and cite your content. Think of it as SEO for the AI search era.

How is GEO different from SEO?+

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in blue-link search results. GEO focuses on being cited and referenced in AI-generated answers. While there's overlap (structured data, crawlability, content quality), GEO adds new dimensions like AI crawler access, llms.txt, entity signals, and content citability — factors that determine whether AI systems quote your site.

Why should I allow AI crawlers?+

If you block AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot, your content cannot appear in AI-generated answers. As more users shift from traditional search to AI search, blocking these bots means losing a growing source of traffic and brand visibility. You can still control what they access via robots.txt rules.

What is llms.txt?+

llms.txt is a plain text file (similar to robots.txt) that provides AI crawlers with a structured overview of your website — including what your company does, key pages, and content areas. It helps LLMs understand your site's purpose and find the most relevant content to reference.

Is this tool really free?+

Yes, completely free with no signup required. The tool runs a comprehensive 45+ point audit across all 7 GEO categories. You can run multiple checks and export results as a report or CSV file.
