Free GEO scan

Is your site ready for ChatGPT and AI?

The free Nekx SEO GEO scan checks one page on eleven points that decide whether AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can read and use it: access for AI bots, text without JavaScript, a clear answer and a recognisable organisation. No sign-up, the result appears right below.

Start the scan

We store no data about you. The result for an address is kept for half an hour, so the same scan does not run twice.

What the scan checks

Eleven checks in three groups

All checks are based on documentation from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, and on research with a public method. Each check explains why it matters.

Access

Can AI search engines read and use the page?

AI search bots in robots.txt
OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT), PerplexityBot and Claude-SearchBot must be allowed to read the page. If you block OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT search will not show the site. Blocking training bots such as GPTBot is fine; it does not remove you from the answers.
Indexable, snippet allowed
Google AI Overviews only use pages that are indexed and allowed to show a snippet. A noindex, nosnippet or very short max-snippet keeps the page out of AI answers.
Firewall or CDN
A robots.txt that allows everything does not help if a firewall or CDN stops AI bots.

Content

Can an AI search engine get a useful answer from it?

Text without JavaScript
Many AI crawlers run little or no JavaScript. Text that only appears after JavaScript is often not read. The scan counts the words that are directly in the HTML.
Title and meta description
The title and meta description tell search engines in a few words what the page is about.
One clear H1
The H1 is the main heading of the page. One clear H1 shows at a glance what the page is about.
Answer first
AI search engines often take their citations from the start of a text. In an analysis by Kevin Indig, 44.2% of ChatGPT citations came from the first 30% of the text. A short paragraph that answers directly helps.
Headings as questions
People ask AI search engines questions. Headings phrased as questions make it easy to find the matching answer.
Publication or update date
AI assistants cite newer pages on average than Google. A visible date, also in the code, shows the content is current.

Organisation

Is it clear who is behind the site?

Organisation in schema markup
Organization or LocalBusiness schema tells search engines who the business is: name, address, logo and profiles.
Profiles elsewhere (sameAs)
sameAs in the schema links the site to profiles such as LinkedIn and the Google Business Profile. That helps recognise the business across sources.
About and contact linked
An about and a contact page show who is behind the site. For people and search engines that is a sign of trust.
What the scan does not do

Honest about the limits

  • It does not measure whether ChatGPT mentions you

    The scan looks at the page itself. Whether an AI search engine mentions your business on its own also depends on mentions elsewhere. You measure that with fixed questions, or with the AI Rank Analyzer.

  • It does not count llms.txt

    Google says you do not need llms.txt or other AI files, and research by SE Ranking found no effect on how often a site is cited.

  • It sets no minimum word count

    Google says you do not need to write in a special way for AI. The scan only counts words to see whether the text is readable without JavaScript.

  • It scans one page

    Also scan your most important service pages, not just the homepage.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the GEO scan

What is a GEO scan?

A GEO scan checks whether a web page is ready to be used and mentioned by AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The Nekx SEO scan looks at access for AI bots, text without JavaScript, a clear answer and a recognisable organisation.

Is the GEO scan free?

Yes. The scan is free and you do not need to sign up. The result appears right on the page.

What does the GEO score mean?

The score from 0 to 100 is an indication based on eleven checks on one page, each weighted by importance. A high score means the page is technically ready; whether AI search engines mention your business also depends on mentions elsewhere.

Do I need to allow GPTBot to appear in ChatGPT?

No. According to OpenAI, GPTBot is only for training. ChatGPT search uses OAI-SearchBot. That is why the scan checks the search bots, not the training bots.

Do you store my data?

No. We store no data about you. The result for an address is kept for half an hour, so the same scan does not run twice.

Can I use the scan for client sites?

Yes. Web agencies use the scan to check a client site quickly. If you want to measure and improve your clients’ AI visibility every month, Nekx SEO does that under your own name.
