By JoLyn Laney, FounderLast updated: May 20, 2026What is a GEO Audit?
A GEO audit(Generative Engine Optimization audit) is a structured analysis that tests whether your business appears in AI-generated search results from platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. Unlike traditional SEO audits that focus on keyword rankings, a GEO audit evaluates citation frequency, answer inclusion, entity recognition, and structured data readiness across every major AI search platform — then delivers a prioritized action plan to get your business recommended.

Your prospects are asking AI for recommendations before they ever open Google. If you're not in those answers, you're not in the consideration set. A GEO auditreveals exactly where you stand — and what it takes to get cited.
44% of users now use AI chat as their primary search — surpassing Google (31%) as the first place people look for answers
0% citation rate is common — even for well-known brands that rank well in traditional search
~4x higher conversion rate — for AI-referred traffic compared to traditional organic search
First-mover advantage is real — AI models reinforce what they already cite — getting in early compounds over time
The GEO Audit doesn't just tell you whether you show up. It tells you whyyou don't, scores every dimension that matters, and gives you a clear path to fix it.
