Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) determines whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend your site. GeoRanks scores you on both — and tells you exactly what to fix first.
Better GEO = better SEO. Every fix works for both.
Every major SEO tool — Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog — was built before AI search existed. They tell you how to rank on Google. None of them tell you if ChatGPT will cite you, if Perplexity will surface you, or if Google AI Overviews will include you.
That gap is getting expensive. When an AI Overview appears on a query, organic click-through rates drop 15–30% — even for sites sitting at position 1.
GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation — is the practice of making your content citable by AI engines, not just rankable by Google.
Based on peer-reviewed research by the Princeton NLP Group (2023) — the only published study testing which content changes increase AI citation rates across 10,000+ queries.
GeoRanks runs your site through four lenses simultaneously. Every issue is tagged P1, P2, or P3 — so you know exactly what to fix first and why.
Every other SEO tool audits what already exists. GeoRanks is the only tool that works before you build. Describe your project and we generate a complete SEO architecture — so you're not retrofitting SEO after launch.

We've run audits on real sites. Here's what the data looks like.
A legitimate product with real users. But no schema, no named author, no direct-answer content, and no external citations. When someone asks ChatGPT for scheduling tool recommendations, PostSyncer doesn't make the cut — not because it's bad, but because the content isn't structured for AI. This is fixable.
After implementing audit recommendations: FAQ schema added, FTC-cited statistics on every page, named editorial team, direct-answer structure on all city pages, BreadcrumbList and AggregateRating schema. Score moved from 5/10 to 8/10. Now structured for AI citation across all key pages.
Most SaaS sites score under 4/10. The average across all sites we've audited: 4/10.
