Question 1

What is GEOReady?

Accepted Answer

GEOReady is a free SEO and AI visibility audit tool that runs 25 checks across three layers — Google SEO (10 checks, 45 pts), AI crawler access (5 checks, 40 pts), and LLM discoverability (5 checks, 20 pts) — scoring websites out of 100 for readiness in both traditional search and AI-powered discovery engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.

Question 2

What does GEOReady audit?

Accepted Answer

GEOReady runs 25 checks across three layers: 10 Google SEO checks covering title tags, meta descriptions, H1, canonical URL, Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, robots.txt, structured data, HTTPS, and noindex detection; 5 AI crawler access checks covering GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and llms.txt; and 5 LLM discoverability checks covering FAQPage schema, Article/SoftwareApplication schema, plain-text endpoints, sitemap, and semantic structure.

Question 3

Is GEOReady free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the core GEOReady audit is completely free. Run unlimited audits on any public URL with no account required. A free dashboard account lets you save audits, track scores over time, and detect regressions. Agency plans with domain-wide crawling, white-labeling, and team seats are available on request.

Question 4

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of making a website's content readable and citeable by AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Unlike traditional SEO which targets ranking positions, GEO targets citation inclusion — making your content the source AI systems quote when answering user questions. Key signals include llms.txt, FAQPage schema, AI crawler permissions, and structured plain-text content.

Question 5

How is GEOReady different from Semrush, Ahrefs, or other SEO tools?

Accepted Answer

GEOReady is purpose-built for AI-era visibility, not just Google rankings. Traditional SEO tools like Semrush and Ahrefs measure backlinks, keyword rankings, and traffic. GEOReady measures whether AI systems — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini — can access, read, and cite your content. It's the only free tool that audits llms.txt compliance, AI crawler access policies, FAQPage schema, and LLM discoverability as distinct scored categories, with per-platform fix codes across 12 platforms.

Question 6

What is LLM discoverability?

Accepted Answer

LLM discoverability measures how well an AI language model can find, read, and cite your website's content. Key signals include a properly structured llms.txt file (an emerging standard comparable to robots.txt but for AI systems), FAQPage JSON-LD schema (the format AI systems prefer for extracting answers), plain-text endpoints (.txt versions of pages for direct AI ingestion), and structured data that helps AI models understand content context and authority.

Question 7

Can agencies use GEOReady for client audits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Agencies use GEOReady to audit client sites for AI-era visibility gaps, generate before/after score comparisons to demonstrate improvements, and run regression alerts when previously-passing checks start failing. The agency demo plan includes unlimited audits, domain-wide sitemap crawling (up to 20 pages), a branded dashboard, and grouped 'Fix All' actions with per-platform code across WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Ghost, and Laravel.

Question 8

How do I improve my GEOReady score?

Accepted Answer

GEOReady provides per-check fix code for every failing check across 12 platforms. After running an audit, click any failing check to see the exact code change needed for your stack. The 'Fastest Path to 80' panel groups the highest-impact fixes and lets you download a 3-file bundle — pre-applied HTML, robots.txt, and llms.txt — with all changes ready to deploy. Most sites can reach a score of 80+ with 3–5 targeted fixes.
