GEO audit tool:
find what blocks your citations.
Generative engine optimization starts with knowing what generative engines see. Citevera audits your site across 35 checks - llms.txt, citation signals, entity clarity, crawler access, extractability - and generates the fix for every finding. Free, no signup, 30-90 seconds.
Score, diagnose, fix.
llms.txt presence and quality, schema coverage, citation signals, and entity clarity - scored 0-100 alongside AEO and Crawlability axes so you see which layer is the bottleneck.
A 5-stage funnel - detection, understanding, trust, coverage, conversion - locates where your site falls out of the answer-building process, page by page.
Every finding ships its fix: llms.txt written for your site, JSON-LD blocks, robots.txt rules, content rewrites. Paste them in, or let the WordPress plugin apply them.
A GEO audit changes the score. GEO monitoring watches it.
The GEO tool market splits into two jobs, and buying the wrong one first is the most common mistake in the category. Monitoring tools query AI engines with prompts and chart where your brand appears - genuinely valuable once you have citations to measure. Audit tools inspect your site, find what blocks citations, and fix it. If your AI citation volume is low, the audit is the first spend: a monitoring dashboard pointed at an unfixed site draws a flat line at premium prices.
We publish honest comparisons against every major monitoring tool - the full comparison hub covers Profound, Otterly, Peec, Semrush's AI Visibility Toolkit, and Ahrefs Brand Radar, with published pricing and plain statements of when each is the better pick. Citevera itself bundles lightweight weekly citation monitoring across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini into every paid plan, so the verify step does not require a second subscription.
New to the discipline? Start with the generative engine optimization guide and how AI engines choose sources. Want to test single layers free first? The llms.txt checker and AI crawler access checker each run one slice of the audit, no signup. WordPress sites get the deepest integration via the WordPress AI visibility audit.
GEO audit FAQ
What is a GEO audit tool?
GEO - generative engine optimization - is the practice of making your content citable by generative AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. A GEO audit tool inspects your site for the signals those engines depend on (llms.txt, structured data, entity clarity, crawler access, extractable content) and reports what blocks a citation. Citevera additionally generates the fix for each finding.
Is GEO different from AEO?
The terms overlap heavily and are often used interchangeably. Where a distinction is drawn, AEO (answer engine optimization) emphasizes content extractability - can an engine quote you - while GEO emphasizes generative-engine fit: llms.txt, citation signals, and how models ground your entity. Citevera scores them as separate axes in the same audit, so you do not have to pick a definition to act.
What does the Citevera GEO audit check?
The GEO axis covers llms.txt and llms-full.txt presence and quality, schema.org coverage, citation signals (sourced statistics, entity references), and organization identity clarity. It sits alongside the AEO axis (answer extractability) and Crawlability axis (AI bot access, robots.txt, sitemap health) - 35 checks total, each 0-100 scored.
How is a GEO audit tool different from a GEO monitoring tool?
Monitoring tools (Profound, Otterly, Peec, Semrush AI Visibility Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar) query engines with prompts and report where your brand appears. Audit tools change whether you appear: they find and fix the blockers. If your citation volume is low, audit first - monitoring an unfixed site documents a problem you already know you have. Our comparison hub covers each monitoring tool honestly.
What fixes does the tool generate?
An llms.txt file written from your actual site, JSON-LD schema blocks for pages missing them, robots.txt rules covering the current AI crawler fleet, and content rewrite suggestions where extraction fails - ordered in a 15-item priority plan with the Top 3 moves ranked by leverage. On WordPress, the free plugin can apply several of these directly.
What does it cost?
The scan at scan.citevera.com is free with no signup. A full one-time audit with PDF export is $99, and plans run $49 to $399/mo - every paid tier includes weekly citation monitoring across ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, so the audit-then-verify loop lives in one subscription.
