GEO Auditor
Score how ready a page is to be retrieved, understood, and cited by AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini. Paste your page's HTML below for an instant in-browser audit, or run the open-source Python CLI on any live URL.
Audit a page now
Paste the full HTML of a page (View Source → select all → copy). Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
out of 100 — higher = more AI-citation-ready
Or audit any live URL from your terminal
The full auditor is an open-source Python CLI. It also probes
/llms.txt and works on URLs (no copy-paste). Zero
dependencies — it only needs Python 3.9+.
