GEO Analysis
GEO Analysis (Generative Engine Optimisation) measures how well your site is structured for AI crawlers, large language models, and generative search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews.
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”As AI-powered search becomes more prevalent, your site needs to be not just readable by humans but also easily parseable by AI agents. GEO analysis identifies structural and content issues that may prevent your site from being surfaced in AI-generated answers.
Three scores
Section titled “Three scores”Each page and report receives three component scores (0–100) and a weighted overall score:
Green Score — Semantic Structure
Section titled “Green Score — Semantic Structure”Measures how well your HTML communicates meaning:
- Proper heading hierarchy (
h1→h2→h3) - Semantic HTML elements (
<article>,<section>,<main>, etc.) - Structured data (Schema.org markup)
- Meta description and Open Graph tags
- ARIA landmarks
Ethical Score — AI Crawlability
Section titled “Ethical Score — AI Crawlability”Measures whether your site allows and supports AI crawlers:
robots.txtconfiguration (no blanket AI bot blocks)- CSP restrictions that might block content access
- JavaScript dependency ratio (heavily JS-rendered pages are harder to parse)
llms.txtpresence (an emerging standard for AI accessibility)
Open Score — GEO Optimisation
Section titled “Open Score — GEO Optimisation”Measures content extractability:
- How well content can be parsed without JavaScript
- Content structure and readability
- Agent access risk assessment
In the report
Section titled “In the report”GEO scores appear on both the Site Report and Page Report. The site report shows averages across all pages.
AI agent accessibility
Section titled “AI agent accessibility”A separate AI Agent Accessibility section on the site report shows:
- Whether your site has an
llms.txtfile (with content preview if present) - Whether
robots.txtrestricts AI crawlers
Improving your GEO score
Section titled “Improving your GEO score”| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Low Green Score | Add structured data, fix heading hierarchy, add meta descriptions |
| Low Ethical Score | Review robots.txt rules, add llms.txt, reduce JS dependency |
| Low Open Score | Ensure key content is in server-rendered HTML, not JS-only |
