AI SEARCH OPTIMIZATION

Is your business showing up
when people ask AI?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode don’t rank websites — they cite sources. Find out in 60 seconds if your site is built to be cited, or invisible. Built by a Wharton AI graduate who analyzed 30+ businesses and increased citation rates from 4% to 43% in 90 days.

AI Search Optimization is part of the monthly 3-in-1 audit — Marketing · AI Search · ADA

Why GEO matters now

Search has fundamentally changed. Over 60% of searches now end without a click — AI systems answer questions directly, and they choose which businesses to cite. If your site isn’t structured for AI citation, you simply don’t exist in that answer.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making your site readable, authoritative, and citable by AI search systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Claude. This audit tells you exactly where you stand — and precisely what to fix.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from invisible to AI-cited

01 · READ

We see your site like AI does

Our engine bypasses visual rendering and parses the raw semantic structure — the same way LLM crawlers like GPTBot and Google-Extended actually read your content, not how it looks in a browser.

02 · SCORE

22 GEO factors, precision-weighted

From structured data and Q&A coverage to entity authority and topical depth — every signal that determines whether AI systems cite your business or skip it entirely.

03 · FIX

Your exact action plan

Not vague suggestions. Exact schema gaps, missing content structures, and prescriptive code fixes — ranked by impact weight so you know what to do first.

GRI SCORE TIERS

What does your score mean?

0 – 44

AI Invisible

AI systems cannot reliably identify, verify, or cite your business. You are structurally locked out of AI-generated answers.

45 – 59

AI Emerging

Partial signals present. AI may occasionally cite you for low-competition queries but misses you on most branded and category searches.

60 – 74

AI Visible

Core citation signals are in place. AI systems can find and cite you for your primary category but gaps remain in authority and Q&A coverage.

75 – 89

AI Authoritative

Strong citation probability. AI systems regularly surface your business and use your site as a primary source for your category.

90 – 100

AI Dominant

Elite citation readiness. Your site is consistently cited across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode as an authoritative source.

PROVEN RESULTS

What GEO optimization actually delivers

4% → 43%

AI Citation Rate

After implementing GEO optimization, AI citation rate went from nearly invisible to consistently cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity within 90 days.
