How it works
- 1
You enter your URL
We fetch your raw HTML without running JavaScript — exactly what AI crawlers see.
- 2
We audit 9 criteria
Server rendering, JSON-LD, robots.txt access for AI bots, llms.txt, freshness, semantic HTML, metadata.
- 3
You leave with a plan
Global score on 100, line-by-line diagnostic and top 5 actions ranked by potential impact.
Why GEO matters in 2026
- of Google searches now trigger an AI Overview in major markets. (SISTRIX)
- is the average time a user spends on a ChatGPT answer before clicking (or not) on the source. If you're not cited, you don't exist. (Backlinko 2026 study)
- of React/Vue/Angular SPAs without server rendering are invisible to GPTBot and ClaudeBot — trap #1. (Web Almanac 2025)
- technical criteria separate sites cited by AI from sites that are ignored. ScoreGeo evaluates them all. (Methodology)
SEO vs GEO — what changes
Both disciplines share 70% of best practices. Here are the 30% that diverge.
| Axis | Classic SEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|
| Primary target | Rank on the SERP | Be cited inside the AI answer |
| JavaScript | Tolerated, indexed with delay | Not executed at all by AI crawlers |
| Key signal | Backlinks + relevance | JSON-LD + dense factual content |
| Page structure | H1 + sections + keywords | Answer-first paragraph + FAQPage |
| Required file | robots.txt + sitemap.xml | + /llms.txt (emerging standard) |
| Freshness | Helpful | Critical (dateModified valued) |
| Time to result | 3-6 months | 2-4 weeks (LLMs re-index fast) |
The 9 criteria evaluated
Weighted on 100 points. Details and thresholds in the methodology. →
| Criterion | What we measure | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Server rendering | Visible words in the raw HTML without JS. | 20 |
| JSON-LD structured data | FAQPage, HowTo, LocalBusiness, Organization… | 20 |
| Answer-first structure | Short, standalone first paragraph. | 10 |
| Content freshness | Recent dateModified / datePublished. | 10 |
| Semantic HTML | Unique h1, hierarchy, main + sections. | 10 |
| SEO metadata | title, description, canonical, OG, Twitter. | 10 |
| AI crawler access | GPTBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot allowed. | 10 |
| Entity richness | Numbers, lists, tables, explicit FAQs. | 5 |
| llms.txt file | Markdown at root to guide LLMs. | 5 |

Express glossary
- GEO
- Generative Engine Optimization. The discipline of optimizing a site so that it is cited, summarized or recommended by generative AIs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Mistral).
- AI Overview
- Synthetic response generated by Google's AI and shown at the top of search results, with links to the sources judged most relevant.
- JSON-LD
- Structured data format in JSON, embedded in a <script> tag, that explicitly describes a page's entity (company, FAQ, product) in schema.org format.
- SSR / SSG
- Server-Side Rendering / Static Site Generation. Full HTML rendered server-side (per request or at build time) instead of being generated in the browser after JavaScript loads.
- llms.txt
- Markdown file placed at a site's root (/llms.txt), proposed as a standard by Jeremy Howard, guiding LLMs to the most exploitable content.

Frequently asked questions
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the art of optimizing a website so it is cited, summarized and recommended by generative AIs like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews. Unlike classic SEO which targets a good ranking in the SERP, GEO aims to become a source the LLMs choose spontaneously.
How is GEO different from SEO?
Three major ruptures: (1) LLMs read raw HTML without executing JavaScript, so an SPA without SSR is nearly invisible; (2) they rely massively on JSON-LD structured data, especially FAQPage and HowTo; (3) they value "standalone answer" paragraphs at the top of a page over long marketing copy.
How does ScoreGeo compute the 100-point score?
We evaluate 9 weighted criteria: server rendering (20), JSON-LD (20), answer-first structure (10), freshness (10), semantic HTML (10), SEO metadata (10), AI crawler access (10), entity richness (5), llms.txt file (5). Each criterion returns a normalized sub-score, multiplied by its weight, then summed. Full details on the Methodology page.
My site is in React/Next.js/Vue — is there a trap?
Yes, the biggest GEO trap. If your pages are rendered only client-side (pure SPA), LLMs see an empty shell. Solution: switch to SSR/SSG (Next.js Server Components, Nuxt SSR, Astro, or a pre-render service like Prerender.io). We detect this in the "server rendering" criterion by counting visible words in your raw HTML.
How long does an analysis take?
Between 3 and 10 seconds depending on your site. We fetch in parallel your HTML, your /robots.txt and your /llms.txt, then parse and score. No paid external API call for the 9 base criteria: everything stays fast and free.
Is my data stored?
We only keep the URL you analyze, the generated report (for 7 days so you can return to it via its direct link) and your email if you voluntarily provide it. No tracking cookies, no commercial sharing. All details in the privacy policy.
Is the 100/100 score reachable?
Yes, but it requires ticking the 9 boxes: SSR/SSG, JSON-LD with FAQPage or HowTo, robots.txt explicitly allowing AI bots, structured llms.txt, dense and dated paragraphs, clean HTML hierarchy, complete metadata. This site (scoregeo.ai) itself targets 100/100 — you can test it by entering its URL.
