Frequently Asked Questions

A GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) audit analyzes how well AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI can access, understand, and recommend your website. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on search rankings, GEO ensures you're visible when AI answers customer questions.

While SEO optimizes for search engine rankings, GEO optimizes for AI recommendations. SEO helps people find you through searches; GEO ensures AI systems suggest your business when customers ask for solutions. Both work together - good SEO often improves GEO.

Robots.txt tells AI crawlers what they can and can't access on your site. Missing or misconfigured robots.txt files can accidentally block AI systems from reading your content, preventing any chance of being recommended. Try our free robots.txt optimizer to validate your configuration, or explore our complete robots.txt guide.

An AI-ready website allows AI crawlers access, has clear structured data, provides explicit content usage policies, and contains well-organized information. Our GEO audit checks all factors that determine AI readiness.

Yes! Our brand monitoring tracks how often competitors appear in AI responses versus your business. You can see which competitors AI systems prefer and understand what makes them more visible.

When robots.txt is missing, AI crawlers may have unrestricted access to your entire site, which could lead to unintended content being indexed. Alternatively, some conservative AI systems might avoid your site entirely without clear crawling instructions. Check your robots.txt status with our free analyzer tool.

GEO optimization ensures ChatGPT can properly access and understand your content structure, business information, and expertise signals. This increases the likelihood that ChatGPT will mention your business when users ask relevant questions. Learn more about optimizing for ChatGPT and other LLMs.

AI crawlers are automated programs that scan websites to gather information for AI systems. Unlike traditional search engine crawlers, AI crawlers focus on understanding content context, relationships, and expertise signals to help AI systems provide accurate recommendations. Dive deeper into technical foundations for AI systems.

Optimization for Perplexity and Claude involves clear content structure, proper attribution, fact-based information, and technical accessibility. Each AI system has different preferences for content presentation and source validation. See our LLM content optimization guide.

Structured data is code that helps AI systems understand your content's context, relationships, and meaning. AI systems use this data to accurately categorize your business, understand your services, and determine when to recommend you to users. Explore our complete guide to structured data.
