geo-score
Check if AI engines can reach, parse, and cite your site with an open rubric and API tracking.
Score your site from 0-100 against an open GEO rubric and track citations via LLM APIs.
geo-score evaluates whether generative AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity can read and quote your content. It suits content creators, SEO professionals, and marketers looking to optimize for answer engines rather than traditional rankings.
What it is
The tool runs a 21-tiered check across five pillars—reachable, understandable, content citability, brand credibility, and answer fit—producing a 0-100 score. It also supports optional API tracking via OpenAI, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude to monitor actual citations over time.
Who it's for
It suits technical marketers, site owners, and developers diagnosing why AI engines ignore their pages. It does not suit teams wanting a fully automated, hands-off hosted SaaS dashboard without touching the command line.

FAQ
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
Classic SEO focuses on ranking positions in search engine results pages, while Generative Engine Optimization focuses on whether AI engines retrieve passages and choose to quote your site.
Do I need an API key to get a score?
No, Level 1 scoring requires no keys, no installation, and runs instantly against public URLs.
What do the gate checks do?
The tool includes three gate checks for crawler access, live reachability, and server-rendered content; failing these caps your total score at 40.
