Generative Engine Optimization

Get cited by ChatGPT & Google AI

Generative Engine Optimization helps you get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. It combines live AI citation monitoring, content auditing, competitor analysis, and GEO-optimized writing into one complete workflow.

Most sites are invisible to AI search engines — not because their content is bad, but because it's not structured the way AI models extract and quote information. This tool shows you exactly where you stand, who is being cited instead of you, and what to change to start appearing in AI answers.

What you can do

  • check_ai_visibility — run live queries and see if your domain appears in AI citations
  • check_multi_engine_visibility — test visibility across Perplexity, OpenAI search, and Gemini in parallel
  • analyze_citation_sources — find which domains AI is citing for your target queries
  • check_brand_sentiment — see how AI engines describe and frame your brand
  • audit_content — full 80-item CORE-EEAT quality audit across 8 dimensions
  • audit_domain — 40-item CITE domain authority audit
  • write_content and optimize_content — produce or improve content built for AI citation
  • generate_llms_txt — generate a curated llms.txt index file for your domain

Who it's for

SEO professionals and content marketers adapting to AI search, brand teams monitoring how AI describes their company, and founders who want their product pages and blog content to appear in AI answers for high-intent queries.

How to use it

  1. Start with check_ai_visibility — pass your domain and 3-5 queries your audience would ask
  2. Use analyze_citation_sources to see who is being cited instead of you
  3. Use audit_content on your best pages to find the specific gaps preventing citation
  4. Use optimize_content or write_content to fix those gaps with GEO techniques

Getting started

Works immediately for most skills — connecting your own API keys for AI search providers gives you higher query limits and avoids shared rate limits.

Check AI Visibility

Check if your domain is being cited in live AI search results. Runs up to 10 queries through Perplexity AI and reports which ones cite your domain, your citation position, competing domains taking your slots, and actionable recommendations.

Returns: Visibility score (0-100), per-query citation status, competing domains, and actionable recommendations
Analyze Citation Sources

Find which domains AI engines are actually citing for your target queries. Runs queries through Perplexity AI, aggregates all cited sources, ranks them by frequency, and identifies source gaps — the authoritative domains being cited instead of you.

Returns: Ranked citation sources across queries, your domain position, source gap analysis, and per-query breakdown
Check Brand Sentiment

Analyse how AI search engines describe and frame your brand. Runs brand-related queries through Perplexity AI, then analyses the responses for sentiment, key claims, positive/negative signals, and overall brand framing. Auto-generates relevant queries if none provided.

Returns: Brand sentiment score (0-100), positive/negative/neutral signals, overall AI framing, and per-query breakdown with recommendations
Check AI Crawlers

Check if AI crawlers can access your site. Parses robots.txt rules per bot, checks for llms.txt, and reports X-Robots-Tag headers.

Returns: Complete markdown content with SEO-optimized title, meta description, GEO features (definitions, quotable statements, tables, FAQ), and schema markup

Returns: Per-engine visibility scores, invisible engines, competing domains, and recommendations across all AI search engines
Check Citation Consistency

Run the same query through Perplexity multiple times to measure citation stability. Reports how often your domain appears, position variance, which competing domains are stable vs volatile, and an overall consistency score.

Returns: Citation consistency score, appearance rate, stable vs volatile citations, and per-run results
Generate llms.txt

Generate a curated llms.txt index for a domain, following the Jeremy Howard spec. Discovers the sitemap, fetches the top 30 priority pages, groups them by section (Docs, Blog, Product, Help, Company), and outputs a ready-to-deploy file.

Returns: Generated llms.txt file content with sectioned page index, plus deployment recommendations
