How the check works
- 01
Enter address
Enter the address of your homepage. No sign-up, no installation, no access to your systems.
- 02
We access your site
Our checking tool accesses your site just like a search engine crawler and also reads robots.txt, sitemap and llms.txt.
- 03
34 criteria are evaluated
Each check point receives a result and a weight. This produces three values: SEO, GEO and an overall score.

You receive the report
First the three most important findings, then after you enter your contact details the full report — immediately on the page and by email.
What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. It is the work of making a website appear in Google and Bing for the search terms that potential customers actually use — and of ranking as high as possible there.
SEO consists of three parts. The technical side ensures that search engines can actually crawl, read, and index the site: fast loading times, clean URLs, a sitemap, mobile rendering. The content side concerns what is on the page: headings, text length, structure, image descriptions. The third part lies outside your website — links from other sites, directory listings, reviews. The check here covers the first two parts because they can be measured from the outside and because you control them yourself.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It is the work of making sure that AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and the AI overviews in Google Search can find your content, understand it, and cite it as a source.
The difference from SEO is fundamental. In Google, you compete for a position in a list of ten results. In an AI system, there is no list — there is an answer, and in that answer you either appear or you do not. For you to appear, three things must be right: AI crawlers must be allowed to access your site, which is controlled by your robots.txt. Your content must be present in the delivered HTML without JavaScript, because most of these crawlers do not execute scripts. And your texts must be structured so that individual statements can be extracted: clear questions as headings, short direct answers below them, verifiable numbers instead of marketing language.
SEO and GEO compared
Both pursue the same goal — being found. They differ in who is searching and what the result looks like.
| Criterion | SEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | A good position in the results list | Being cited as a source in the answer |
| What the user sees | Ten blue links to choose from | A ready-made answer with a few source references |
| Performance measurement | Position, clicks, impressions | Mentions and links in AI answers |
| Key signals | Keywords, links, load time, user behavior | Crawler access, structured data, citable statements, clear authorship |
| Ideal text format | In-depth pages on one topic | Clearly separated question-and-answer sections, lists, tables |
| Typical time frame | Three to twelve months until results show | Technical issues often take days, content issues weeks |
Why you need both
GEO does not replace SEO. The same fundamentals support both: if your site is slow, lacks a clean heading structure, and does not provide structured data, that hurts both Google and ChatGPT equally. But the reverse is not true: good SEO does not automatically mean good GEO. A website can rank first on Google and still not appear in AI answers — for example, because robots.txt blocks GPTBot or because the text is loaded only in the browser. This is exactly the gap the check makes visible, which is why SEO and GEO are weighted equally here.
Frequently asked questions
Is the SEO check really free?
+−
Yes. Enter your address and you will immediately see the overall score, the sub-scores for SEO and GEO, and the three most important findings. To receive the full report, leave your contact details — there are no costs and you do not commit to anything.
How long does the analysis take?
+−
Usually 15 to 25 seconds. We fetch your site, read robots.txt, Sitemap and llms.txt, evaluate 34 criteria, and also have an AI model assess your text.
What data do you store?
+−
We store the checked address and the result of the check. We do not store the content of your website. We store your IP address only as a hash, not in plain text. We store contact details only after you submit the form.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
+−
SEO helps your site appear high in Google’s results list. GEO helps AI systems like ChatGPT or Perplexity use your content as a source for their answers. In Google, you compete for a place in a list. In an AI answer, you compete for a mention in a single response.
What is llms.txt?
+−
A small text file in the root directory of your website that tells AI systems in compact form what your site is about and which pages are the most important. For AI systems, it is what the sitemap is for search engines — and because it can be created in an hour, one of the most cost-effective GEO levers there is.
Do you check my entire website or just one page?
+−
The check evaluates the address you enter — normally your homepage. In addition, we check files that apply to the entire domain: robots.txt, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. A full check of all subpages is not included.
Does this replace a professional SEO audit?
+−
No. The check finds the points that can be measured automatically and reliably. What it cannot do: assess your competition, prioritize search terms based on your business model, or evaluate your external links. It is a very good starting point, not a complete strategy.
Why do I only see three findings at first?
+−
You see the three most important findings immediately and without conditions. We provide the full report with all findings, explanations and recommendations in exchange for contact details, because this usually leads to a conversation — and because every analysis costs us computing time.
What happens to my email address?
+−
You will receive the report by email and, if necessary, we will contact you once about it. We do not add you to any newsletter and do not share your data. An informal email objection is enough, and then we delete everything.
How often should I repeat the check?
+−
After any major change to your website and otherwise about quarterly. GEO criteria in particular change quickly, because new AI crawlers are added all the time. Results are cached for 24 hours.
