Frequently asked questions

GEO is the practice of optimizing your website content so that AI-powered search engines (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can better understand, extract, and cite your information. It's the evolution of traditional SEO for the age of AI search.

Your GEO score is calculated across 51 factors in 7 categories. Category weights depend on the type of page: on an article, for example, they run Content (21.25%), Authority & Trust (21.25%), Citability (17%), AI Visibility (15%), Schema (12.75%), Technical (8.5%) and Brand (4.25%). AI Visibility carries 15% under every page type, and it counts on the paid report only: a free analysis cannot run the citation checks, so it drops that category and renormalises the six that remain. Each factor is scored 0-10, then weighted to produce your overall score from 0-100. See the methodology page for the full weight table by page type.

Yes! The free analysis gives you your overall GEO score, grade, category breakdown, and top 5 improvement tips. No credit card required. You only pay if you want the detailed report with factor-by-factor analysis, code snippets, and a prioritized action plan.

Most analyses complete in under 15 seconds. Our engine crawls your page, parses the HTML, runs all factor analyzers in parallel (including the AI overview checker against Google AI Overviews on the paid tier), and calculates your score in real-time.

The paid report includes detailed scores for all 51 factors, specific recommendations with code snippets (like schema markup you can copy-paste), a prioritized action plan sorted by impact, and a downloadable PDF report.

You can analyze any publicly accessible webpage. The URL must be a valid http or https address. Private pages, pages behind login walls, or localhost URLs cannot be analyzed.

We recommend re-analyzing after making significant content or technical changes. For active sites, monthly checks help you track your GEO progress over time.

Your full report is available right away, and we keep watching the page for you. myGEOscore re-scans the same URL once a month, 3 times in total, and emails you a report at the address you bought with. Each email carries the new score, what moved since the previous run, and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite you. The report page shows the same comparison against your previous run. Every re-scan email has a link where you can pause or stop the re-scans in one click, no account needed.

The citation checks are a point-in-time snapshot: we ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews whether they cite your page at the moment you run the report. AI engines change their answers over time, which is why every purchase includes 3 monthly re-scans, so you can track whether citations appear, change or disappear.

No. The report gives you a prioritized action plan and copy-paste code snippets written for non-experts, so you do not need any SEO or technical background to act on it.
