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.\n\n## 7 layers we check\n\nEnter any URL and we'll check how visible it is to AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini across 7 GEO layers.\n\nFree scan — no account required\n\nA plain-text file that tells LLMs who you are, what you do, and where to find key pages on your site.\n\nJSON-LD schemas on your homepage that help AI understand your organization, services, and site structure.\n\nA machine-readable JSON endpoint listing your services so AI agents can browse what you offer.\n\nA standardized API spec that lets AI frameworks generate callable tools from your endpoints.\n\nAn agent-to-agent discovery file that describes your capabilities to other AI agents.\n\nA liveness check that tells agents and monitors your service is up and responding.\n\nClassic web standards that guide crawlers — including AI crawlers — through your site.\n\n## What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?\n\nGEO 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.\n\nOur 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.\n\n### Check visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity & Gemini\n\nOur 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.\n\n### Instant score with letter grade (A-F)\n\nGet a clear 0-100 GEO score and letter grade. Track improvements over time — re-scan after making changes to see your score increase.\n\n### Free forever, no signup required\n\nScan any website, view your full results with layer-by-layer breakdown, and get actionable recommendations — completely free.
