What's the difference between GEO, AEO, and SEO?

SEO aims to rank a page in a list of links. AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) aim to make a page quotable by AI systems that write an answer. We grade GEO/AEO as one AI Visibility dimension alongside traditional SEO.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. Many GEO signals — clean HTML, schema, clear answers, specific facts — also help classic SEO. We grade both so you can improve the page for ranked results and for AI answers at the same time.

Can you promise my content gets used by an AI model?

No. We grade readiness — how easy the page is to read and quote. Whether a given model cites you depends on the engine, your authority, and the query. We never claim confirmed AI visibility.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Checker

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of making a page easy for AI engines to read, trust, and quote when they generate an answer. This checker grades your live page against the on-page GEO signals that matter, then ranks the fixes by impact.

Where classic SEO optimizes for a ranked list of links, GEO optimizes for being one of the sources a model pulls into its answer. The engine looks at whether your content is in the HTML (not JavaScript-only), whether you state specific verifiable facts, whether your headings pose and answer real questions, and whether your schema tells engines exactly what the page is. You get a readiness grade — a measure of how quotable the page is, not a promise that any engine will cite it.
