GEO CHECKER & SCORE CALCULATOR

Traditional SEO targets Google's algorithm. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) targets the LLMs that answer questions *before* users reach Google. Paste your URL — we score your visibility to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, and tell you exactly what to fix.

Why GEO Matters Now

When users ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google SGE a question, they don’t get 10 blue links — they get one synthesized answer with a few citations. If your content isn’t in those citations, it doesn’t exist to that user. GEO is what gets you cited.

What the Calculator Scores

STRUCTURE

H1/H2/H3 hierarchy, list usage, table format. LLMs love clear structure.

EXTRACTABILITY

Facts, numbers, definitions presented in citation-ready form.

SCHEMA MARKUP

FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Product — help LLMs classify your page.

AUTHORITATIVENESS

Named author, citations to primary sources, expertise signals.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your URL at the top
  2. The calculator pulls the page and scores it across 8 GEO dimensions
  3. Each dimension gets a 1-10 score with specific “fix this to improve” recommendations
  4. Test against LLM search APIs directly — see whether you’re already cited

Quick Wins After Scoring

  • Add FAQPage schema to every page with Q&A content
  • Convert paragraphs into tight bullet lists where the data is listy
  • Name your author explicitly (not “Admin”)
  • Add a “Last updated” date — LLMs heavily weight freshness
  • Write tl;dr sections at the top — they get extracted into answers
/ FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

01
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of structuring content so LLM-powered search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews — can extract, cite, and surface it inside generated answers. Where SEO optimizes for ranked blue links, GEO optimizes for being the cited source in a synthesized answer.

02
How is a GEO score calculated?
The GEO score is a composite across eight dimensions: content structure (headings, lists, tables), extractability (facts, numbers, definitions in citation-ready form), schema markup coverage (FAQPage, HowTo, Article), authoritativeness (named author, dated sources, expertise signals), semantic density, answer-first formatting, retrievability (sitemap, robots.txt, internal linking), and direct citation tests against LLM search APIs. Each dimension is scored 1-10; the overall score is weighted toward extractability and authoritativeness because those dominate LLM citation decisions.

03
Is there a difference between a GEO checker and a GEO calculator?
In practice, no — both refer to a tool that ingests a URL, scores it across GEO dimensions, and returns actionable recommendations. Some tools emphasize the score (checker) while others emphasize the diagnostic breakdown (calculator). This tool does both in one pass.

04
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranked lists of blue links and targets keyword density, backlinks, and on-page signals Google's algorithm reads. GEO optimizes for being cited inside a generated answer and targets citation-friendliness, schema markup, structural clarity, and authoritativeness. A page can have an A+ SEO score and a D GEO score if the content is phrased as a pitch rather than as extractable facts.

05
What does a good GEO score look like?
80 and up is considered well-optimized. Most commercial landing pages score between 30 and 50 on the first scan because they lead with branding rather than extractable answers. Content pages written in a question-and-answer format with schema markup commonly reach 70-90.

06
Can I improve my GEO score without rewriting my page?
Partially. Adding FAQPage schema, dating your sources, splitting long paragraphs into bullet lists, and adding a one-sentence answer before a longer explanation each move the score a few points. A full rewrite in answer-first form is usually needed to get into the 80+ range.
