Question 1

What is a GEO audit and GEO Score?

Accepted Answer

A GEO audit scans a website through six pillars — AI Indexability, AI Crawler Governance, Performance & Technical Health, Structured Data, AI Readiness, and Static Content. The GEO Score is a composite (0–100) of those six pillar scores, showing overall readiness for AI search engines.

Question 2

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO optimizes for keyword ranking on Google's traditional search. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes for how AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — discover, understand, and cite a website in their answers. Different signals, different scoring model.

Question 3

Which AI engines does Geolify check?

Accepted Answer

Geolify analyzes a website against the technical and content signals used by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and similar generative AI engines to crawl, understand, and cite sources.

Question 4

How is the GEO Score calculated?

Accepted Answer

The GEO Score is the composite of six pillar scores: AI Indexability, AI Crawler Governance, Performance & Technical Health, Structured Data, AI Readiness, and Static Content. Each pillar is independently scored 0–100, then averaged into the overall score. Re-auditing recalculates the score with the latest site state.

Question 5

How long does an audit take and what does it cost?

Accepted Answer

A Geolify audit completes in about 5 minutes with no credit card required. The Free tier covers the first brand audit; paid plans add multi-brand workspaces, reporting, and tracking. See /pricing for current plan details.

Question 6

Can I audit client sites or competitors?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Geolify supports auditing any public domain. Multi-brand workspaces let agencies and consultants manage up to 50 client brands (Pro tier; Starter 3, Growth 10) with white-label PDF reports. One-off audits on competitor domains work for benchmarking against the GEO Score.

Question 7

What signals does Geolify check across the 6 pillars?

Accepted Answer

Each pillar covers distinct AI visibility signals: AI Indexability (sitemap, robots.txt, bot access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, GoogleBot), AI Crawler Governance (llms.txt, llms-full.txt), Performance & Technical Health (Core Web Vitals — LCP, FCP, CLS, INP, TBT), Structured Data (Schema.org/JSON-LD), AI Readiness, and Static Content (heading hierarchy, semantic HTML).

Question 8

How often should I re-audit my site?

Accepted Answer

Scheduled re-audit cadence depends on the plan: Monthly on Starter, Weekly on Growth, Daily on Pro. Free tier requires manual re-audits. Sites with frequent content or technical updates benefit from at least weekly re-audits to catch GEO Score shifts and verify implemented fixes.

Question 9

What's included in Starter?

Accepted Answer

Starter is the paid entry plan for running GEO audits beyond the Free tier. It includes a multi-brand workspace (up to 3 brands) for auditing, fixing, and tracking GEO issues. Starter fits consultants, small teams, or solo SEO operators who need more capacity than Free without enterprise scale.

Question 10

What counts as a brand?

Accepted Answer

A brand is one unique domain and brand identity in a Geolify workspace. Multiple pages or subdomains under the same brand count as one, as long as they share the company/site identity. Separate client websites or separate business identities each count as a separate brand.

Question 11

What happens when I hit my monthly audit limit?

Accepted Answer

Audits pause at the monthly limit until the next billing cycle, unless audit credits are added. Geolify does not auto-charge overages. Teams that regularly need more audits can either add audit credits or move to a higher plan matching their usage.

Question 12

Can I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrades apply when more brands, audits, prompts, or team capacity are needed. Downgrades and cancellations apply at the next billing cycle, keeping current plan access predictable. Enterprise plans may follow separate terms depending on contract and support requirements.

Question 13

When should I talk to sales?

Accepted Answer

Talking to sales fits teams managing many brands, needing Enterprise terms, evaluating Geolify for an agency workflow, or requiring custom setup before team rollout. For single-site checks, the free audit is the starting point. For multi-brand planning or procurement support, get a demo.

Question 14

When should I upgrade from Free to Starter?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from Free to Starter ($29/month) fits when reaching the 1-brand or 3-audit-per-month Free limit. Production data shows 20% of Free users hit the brand limit. Starter unlocks 3 brands, 20 audits monthly, clean PDF without watermark, and full Action Center access.

Question 15

Do you offer annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — annual billing saves 20% across all paid plans. Annual rates: Starter $23/month ($276/year), Growth $63/month ($756/year), Pro $231/month ($2,772/year). The /pricing page toggle switches between Monthly and Yearly views.

Question 16

Can I white-label PDF reports for clients?

Accepted Answer

White-label PDF reports are available on Growth ($79/month) and Pro ($289/month). Growth includes logo white-labeling; Pro adds full white-label coverage (logo, colors, custom report domain) plus the option to remove Geolify branding entirely from shared reports.

Question 17

How does multi-brand workspace work?

Accepted Answer

A multi-brand workspace lets one Geolify account manage multiple separate brands, each with its own audits, prompts, and competitor tracking. Brand limits by plan: Starter 3, Growth 10, Pro 50. Each brand keeps its data isolated; team members access brands via workspace roles.

Question 18

Can my team collaborate on the same audit?

Accepted Answer

Workspace seats enable team collaboration. Included seats: Starter 1, Growth 3, Pro 5. Additional seats cost $10/month each (max 3 Starter, 10 Growth, 25 Pro). Roles: Admin (Starter+), Member (Growth+), Viewer (Pro). Activity Log tracks team actions on Growth and Pro.

Question 19

How do I benchmark against competitors?

Accepted Answer

Geolify supports unlimited competitor tracking across all plans. Prompt Monitor compares brand mentions against competitors in AI engine responses (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and others by plan). GEO Audit can also run on any public competitor domain to benchmark Scores side-by-side.

Question 20

Can I audit a site I don't own?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Geolify audits any public domain. The audit reads publicly available signals (sitemap, robots.txt, page HTML, structured data) without requiring site ownership or domain verification. Useful for competitor benchmarking, prospect research, and pre-sale GEO assessments.

Question 21

What's the typical agency workflow?

Accepted Answer

Agency workflow: (1) Audit client domains in a multi-brand workspace, (2) Review RICE-prioritized actions, (3) Implement fixes with provided code examples and guides, (4) Re-audit on schedule to track GEO Score progress, (5) Deliver white-label PDF reports to clients. Enterprise tier adds done-with-you execution support.
