What is an AI SEO optimizer?
An AI SEO optimizer analyzes a web page for both classic search ranking factors and AI citation readiness, then uses AI to generate specific fixes. This tool scans your URL for on-page basics (title, meta description, headings, alt text, structured data) plus GEO signals like answer-first structure, FAQ schema, and llms.txt.
Why is AI SEO called GEO?
AI SEO is called GEO, short for generative engine optimization, because the goal shifts from ranking in Google's blue links to getting cited inside AI answers. Generative engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity pull from pages structured for extraction, so GEO optimizes for that instead of click-through rank. This tool scores those GEO signals.
Will GEO replace SEO?
No, GEO will not replace SEO; the two work together. Classic SEO still decides whether Google ranks and crawls your page, while GEO decides whether AI engines quote it, and a page needs both to win search and AI traffic. That is why this tool returns two separate scores, one for on-page SEO and one for AI citation readiness.
Is this AI SEO checker free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. You can scan up to 10 URLs per hour, and each scan includes both the check results and AI-generated recommendations.
How is this different from a regular SEO audit tool?
Regular SEO audit tools only check classic ranking factors like titles, meta tags, and links. This tool also scores AI citation readiness: whether your section intros are extractable as snippets, whether your FAQs are self-contained, and whether your domain serves an llms.txt file for AI crawlers.
What is an llms.txt file?
llms.txt is a plain-text file served at your domain root that gives AI crawlers a machine-readable summary of your site, similar to what robots.txt does for search bots. This tool checks whether your domain serves one and flags it if missing.
What is the difference between robots.txt and llms.txt?
robots.txt tells search crawlers which URLs they may access, while llms.txt gives AI models a curated, machine-readable summary of your key content. One controls crawling, the other guides what AI assistants read and cite. This tool flags your domain when it is missing an llms.txt file.
