GEO Checker — audit your generative engine optimization
A GEO checker audits how well your site performs in generative engine optimization — whether AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your pages as sources. Start with a live check below: ask a category question from your target country and see whether your domain appears among the cited sources across 7 AI platforms.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your content so generative AI engines select it as a source when composing answers. Where SEO optimises for a ranked list of links, GEO optimises for inclusion in a single synthesised answer — the AI either cites you or it doesn't. The related term AEO (answer engine optimization) describes the same discipline with emphasis on question-answering engines.
What does a complete GEO audit check?
Seomatiq audits pages against a three-pillar framework — the same signals that feed each page's Source Trust Score:
- Structure — does each H2 answer a specific question? Are answers given in the first 40-90 words? Are FAQ blocks and definition passages present and marked up with FAQPage/Article schema?
- Authority — does the content carry attributed statistics, verifiable facts and original data, or only generic claims? Is expertise visible and consistent across the topic cluster?
- Presence — is the site technically reachable for AI crawlers (clean HTML, fast responses, llms.txt, Bing/IndexNow coverage), and is the brand mentioned on the third-party pages AI engines already trust?
How do you act on GEO audit findings?
The audit output is a gap list, and each gap type has a concrete fix: structural gaps are rewrites (question-led headings, answer-first paragraphs, schema injection); authority gaps need citable facts and original data added; presence gaps are technical (indexing, llms.txt) or off-site (earning mentions on sources AI engines cite). Seomatiq's Content Engine executes the content fixes automatically — it generates GEO-structured drafts for the missing questions and publishes them, while daily tracking verifies whether citations follow.
After the check — how does the system work?
Measure, produce, publish, prove — in one platform
Seomatiq is a loop, not a one-off checker: it measures where you stand in AI answers, produces the missing content in your brand's voice, publishes it, and proves daily whether citations follow. The four panel modules carry that loop end to end.
Who gets recommended when your customers ask AI?
Runs any question live across 7 AI platforms from any of 16 countries, and shows which brands and sources each answer cites.
Business impact: you see the exact questions your competitors are winning — so content investment follows evidence, not guesses.
Is your visibility growing or quietly disappearing?
25-500 tracked prompts (by plan) are scanned daily across all 7 platforms: citations (verified URL match), mentions, sentiment and competitor share — recorded per target country.
Business impact: you get an email alert the moment a citation is lost — silent visibility decay stops being possible.
Who writes the answers you're missing?
Crawls your site, finds the content gaps, and generates every draft in AI-citable format — question headings, answer capsules, FAQ schema automatic — publishing to WordPress in one click, Shopify natively, or 5 export formats for any platform.
Business impact: no agency queue, no writer management — the path from gap to published page runs itself.
Does the content sound like you?
Your brand profile (tone, terminology, target market, competitors) feeds every generation — drafts read like your brand, not generic AI text.
Business impact: every published piece keeps your brand consistent; revision-round time disappears.

Frequently asked questions
Is this GEO checker free?+
The live visibility check is free — 3 checks per month with a free account. The full site-wide GEO audit (page-by-page Source Trust Score and prioritised fixes) is part of the platform, included in every plan.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?+
SEO earns you a position in a ranked list of links; GEO earns you inclusion in the AI-composed answer itself. They share foundations — crawlability, quality content — but GEO adds extraction-friendly structure, citable facts and answer-first formatting, and its success metric is citations rather than rankings.
What is the difference between GEO and AEO?+
They largely describe the same practice. GEO (generative engine optimization) emphasises generative engines like ChatGPT and Gemini; AEO (answer engine optimization) emphasises answer boxes and question-answering surfaces like Google AI Overviews. In day-to-day work the checklist is the same.
Which engines does the GEO check cover?+
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude and Microsoft Copilot — with the query run live from any of 16 countries.
How is a citation verified in the audit?+
Only a real URL pointing to your domain inside the AI answer counts as “Cited”. Brand-name text mentions are recorded separately — a deliberate guard against hallucinated visibility.
