AI agents and LLMs are the new front door for your business. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity about your industry, can they find you? We check 7 discovery layers that determine whether AI can find, understand, and recommend your site.

7 layers we check #

Enter any URL and we'll check how visible it is to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini across 7 GEO layers.

Free scan — no account required

A plain-text file that tells LLMs who you are, what you do, and where to find key pages on your site.

JSON-LD schemas on your homepage that help AI understand your organization, services, and site structure.

A machine-readable JSON endpoint listing your services so AI agents can browse what you offer.

A standardized API spec that lets AI frameworks generate callable tools from your endpoints.

An agent-to-agent discovery file that describes your capabilities to other AI agents.

A liveness check that tells agents and monitors your service is up and responding.

Classic web standards that guide crawlers — including AI crawlers — through your site.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)? #

GEO is like SEO but for AI search engines. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini a question about your industry, GEO determines whether your business gets mentioned in the answer.

Our free GEO checker scans the 7 technical layers that AI systems use to discover, understand, and recommend websites — from llms.txt and structured data to OpenAPI specs and agent cards. Every layer is scored with specific, actionable fixes.

Check visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & Gemini

Our GEO audit checks the same discovery signals that all major AI search engines rely on — structured data, machine-readable APIs, and AI-specific discovery files.

Instant score with letter grade (A-F)

Get a clear 0-100 GEO score and letter grade. Track improvements over time — re-scan after making changes to see your score increase.

Free forever, no signup required

Scan any website, view your full results with layer-by-layer breakdown, and get actionable recommendations — completely free. Request a detailed implementation guide via email.
