  2. 2
    Optionally add your URL

    Adding your page URL lets the tool detect whether your brand name appears in the content - an important GEO entity signal.

  3. 3
    Read your score and fix it

    You'll get an overall 0-100 score, a breakdown of all 10 factors, and a prioritised action list of the 3 highest-impact improvements.

What your score means

70 - 100
Strong GEO readiness

Your content has the structural hallmarks AI engines look for. You are well-positioned to appear in AI-generated answers. Focus on maintaining freshness and filling any specific gaps flagged in your breakdown.

40 - 69
Fair - gaps present

Your content has a solid foundation but is missing key GEO signals. AI engines may occasionally cite it, but you are likely losing citations to better-optimised competitors. Work through the priority actions to close the gap.

0 - 39
Needs significant work

Your content is unlikely to be cited by AI engines in its current form. This does not mean your content is bad - it means it is not structurally formatted for AI citation. The good news: the fixes are concrete and actionable.

Why GEO readiness is now a content priority

๐Ÿค–

AI engines have different criteria than Google

Google ranks pages based on backlinks, technical SEO, and keyword relevance. AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite content based on how clearly it answers questions, how trustworthy it seems, and how well-structured it is. A top-ranking page with poor GEO optimisation is often never cited by AI - even when it should be.

๐Ÿ“Š

The 10 factors are backed by research

Studies on AI citation patterns consistently show the same 10 structural factors separating cited pages from ignored ones: FAQ content, direct definitions, cited statistics, E-E-A-T signals, and content freshness are repeatedly the top differentiators. This tool quantifies your score across all of them.

Small fixes have outsized impact

Unlike traditional SEO, where improvements take months to reflect in rankings, GEO improvements can affect AI citations much more quickly. Adding a 5-question FAQ section, a direct definition in your opening paragraph, and a "last updated" date can push your score from 40 to 70+ in one editing session.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GEO Content Readiness Score?

A GEO Content Readiness Score is a 0-100 rating measuring how well your content is structured to be cited by AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It analyses 10 structural factors proven to affect AI citation rates.

What are the 10 GEO readiness factors this tool checks?

The 10 factors are: FAQ/Q&A content, direct answer sentences, cited statistics, E-E-A-T signals, structured headings, content length, schema markup signals, quotable definitions, freshness signals, and brand/entity mention. Each is weighted by its documented impact on AI citation probability.

What score do I need to appear in AI Overviews?

There is no single guaranteed threshold, but pages scoring 70+ have strong GEO fundamentals and are well-positioned for AI citation. Pages scoring 40-69 have gaps to close. Pages below 40 need significant restructuring. Focus on the priority action list your results generate - not the headline number.

How is this different from a traditional SEO audit?

Traditional SEO audits focus on backlinks, page speed, and keyword density - factors that influence blue-link rankings. This GEO scorer focuses on content structure factors that influence whether AI language models will cite your page in generated summaries. The factors are fundamentally different.

Does this tool crawl my website or store my content?

No. This tool analyses the text you paste entirely within your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. Your content is never stored, logged, or used for any purpose. It works completely offline and processes analysis instantly because there is no API call.
