What it does

Audits and optimizes a site for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — being cited by AI search products rather than (or in addition to) ranking in traditional blue links. Covers AI crawler accessibility, llms.txt compliance, passage-level citability, brand mention signals, and platform-specific optimization for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot.

When to use it

  • When AI search drives meaningful traffic but you don’t show up
  • After publishing content you’d like AI assistants to cite
  • Setting up a new site that wants to be AI-citable from day one
  • Auditing why competitors get cited and you don’t

What it checks

AI crawler accessibility

  • robots.txt rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended
  • Whether crawlers are allowed, disallowed, or rate-limited
  • IP-based blocks at the CDN/WAF layer (Cloudflare, Vercel)

llms.txt compliance

  • Presence and validity of /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt
  • Accurate page lists, descriptions, and groupings
  • Match between llms.txt and actual sitemap

Passage-level citability

  • Self-contained passages (50-100 words) that answer a specific question
  • Direct answers near the top of relevant sections
  • Use of definition lists, FAQ schema, HowTo schema
  • Tables and lists that LLMs can extract cleanly

Brand mention signals

  • Co-occurrence of brand name with topic keywords across the open web
  • Wikipedia / Wikidata entity presence
  • Authoritative third-party mentions (Reddit, news, podcasts)
  • Organization schema with sameAs linking to authoritative profiles

Platform-specific signals

  • Google AI Overviews — schema, E-E-A-T, fresh content, structured answers
  • ChatGPT search — Bing index presence, OAI-SearchBot access
  • Perplexity — citation-worthy formatting, primary source links
  • Bing Copilot — Bing Webmaster Tools verification, Bing index health

Output

A GEO readiness report per page and per platform, with specific edits ranked by impact. Includes a generated llms.txt if missing.

Why it matters

AI search is a different game than blue-link SEO. Ranking #1 organically doesn’t guarantee citation in an AI Overview, and vice versa. The signals AI assistants use — passage extraction, brand authority co-occurrence, structured data, crawler accessibility — overlap with traditional SEO but are not identical. Sites that optimize for GEO explicitly are showing up in AI answers; sites that don’t are invisible there.
