GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new layer that sits on top of SEO. They share a foundation — but they optimize for different surfaces, and you need both to stay visible.
Optimizes your site so it ranks in classic search engines like Google and Bing. Wins look like position 1–10 in the blue links and traffic from organic clicks.
Optimizes your site so it gets quoted inside AI-generated answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. Wins look like being named as a source.
| Signal | SEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|
| Crawlable HTML | Required | Required |
| Title + meta tags | Critical | Helpful context |
| JSON-LD schema | Helpful (rich results) | Critical (machine-readable facts) |
| llms.txt | Not used | Recommended |
| AI bot directives (GPTBot, ClaudeBot…) | Not used | Critical |
| Backlinks | Major ranking factor | Minor — citations & mentions matter more |
| Content structure (Q&A, lists) | Helpful | Critical — drives quotability |
| Core Web Vitals | Ranking factor | Not directly used |
| Brand mentions across the web | Indirect | Direct citation fuel |
Strong SEO gives you a head start in GEO. But GEO needs its own checks — which is why this audit runs both.
We crawl your site the way search engines and AI crawlers do, then grade both layers against the signals that actually move visibility.
Title tags, meta descriptions, H1/H2 structure, canonical tags and word count are checked against current best practices.
Page load speed, Largest Contentful Paint and layout stability — the performance signals Google ranks on.
Viewport, tap targets and responsive layout checks for the mobile-first index.
robots.txt, meta robots, noindex tags and crawl blockers that quietly remove pages from Google.
Alt text coverage, image weight and lazy-loading checks across crawled pages.
Link depth, orphaned pages and anchor text patterns that shape how authority flows through your site.
Checks if your site exposes an llms.txt file telling AI models how to use your content.
Inspects robots.txt for explicit rules for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot and other AI crawlers.
Detects FAQPage, HowTo, Article and Organization JSON-LD — the schemas AI engines prefer to cite.
A 0–100 score based on content structure, schema, headings and quotable passages — how likely your content is to be cited in an AI answer.
OG and Twitter card coverage that AI agents use as fallback metadata when scraping pages.
Word count, headings and topic depth checks that tell AI engines what your page is actually about.
Prioritized fixes across both layers. Every issue is ranked Critical, Medium or Easy Win — so you know whether to fix your SEO foundation first or push on the GEO signals that will get you cited.

A GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) audit checks how visible and citable your website is inside AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It looks at signals such as llms.txt, AI crawler directives in robots.txt, JSON-LD schema, content structure and citation-readiness — things that influence whether AI engines quote your site.
SEO optimizes for ranked links in classic search engines. GEO optimizes for being cited inside AI-generated answers. They share a foundation — crawlable content, clean HTML, structured data, topical authority — but GEO adds AI-specific signals like llms.txt, explicit AI bot directives, FAQ/HowTo schema and quotable, well-structured passages.
Yes. AI engines pull a large share of their answers from sites that already rank well in classic search. Strong SEO is the foundation GEO builds on — they're complementary, not a replacement for each other.
Yes. The audit is 100% free and does not require a credit card. You only need a free AeroSearchAI account so we can save your report and let you re-run it later.
On the SEO side: titles, meta, headings, mobile-friendliness, indexability, canonicals, Open Graph, image alt text, internal links, word count and page load. On the GEO side: llms.txt, AI crawler directives, JSON-LD structured data and a 0–100 citation-readiness score.
Most audits complete in 1–3 minutes depending on the size of the site and the crawl depth available on your plan.
It tells you exactly which AI-visibility signals are missing on your site and how to fix them. AI engines decide what to cite, but sites with strong GEO foundations are far more likely to be quoted.
This audit looks at your whole site to find structural SEO and GEO issues. The Free AI SEO Audit zooms into a single page and uses AI to give page-specific rewrite and optimization suggestions.
