GEO Checker

Run a geo test for generative engine optimization: check whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity can actually crawl and cite your page. Real technical checks (AI crawler access, structured data, direct Q&A content), not a fabricated score. Free, no signup.

How this GEO checker works

  1. 1Enter a page URL and run the check.
  2. 2We check the page's robots.txt against the real crawlers used by ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, and read its structured data and content structure.
  3. 3You get a checklist of real, verifiable facts, what's blocking AI crawlers, what's missing, and what's already set up correctly.

Which AI crawlers can actually reach your page

A page can rank perfectly in classic search and still be invisible to AI answer engines, if its own robots.txt blocks the crawlers those systems use. It happens by accident more often than on purpose, a broad "block all bots" rule written for a different reason can quietly block GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Google-Extended along with it. This checks each one directly, by name, against your actual robots.txt.

What generative engine optimization actually means

A geo checking tool and a classic SEO checker ask two related but different questions. Classic SEO asks "does this page rank." Generative engine optimization asks "can an AI answer engine actually read this page, and would it choose to cite it." Run a geo test whenever you publish or update a page you want ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, or Perplexity to reference directly, not just rank for. This geo checking tool doubles as an llms.txt test and an ai.txt test too, since both are checked automatically as part of the same report, alongside the robots.txt and structured-data checks above.

Frequently asked

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is optimizing a page so AI answer engines, like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, can crawl, extract, and cite it directly, rather than optimizing only for classic ranked blue links.

What does this GEO checker actually check?

Whether major AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot, CCBot, Bytespider) are allowed by robots.txt, whether FAQPage and direct Q&A content exists, whether Organization or Article structured data is present, whether freshness metadata exists, heading structure clarity, and whether an llms.txt file is present.

Is there such a thing as a GEO score?

Not a reliable one. Unlike classic SEO, where factors like title length are well established from years of data, GEO best practices are still new and evolving. This tool reports real, individually checkable facts, like whether GPTBot is blocked, instead of a made-up 0-100 score.

Is this GEO checker free?

Yes, free with no account needed, with a daily limit on checks. Signing up free raises the daily limit.
