Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine rankings. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) optimizes for AI citations and recommendations. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview about your industry — does your business get mentioned? That's what GEO measures.
A GEO Score is a composite metric (0–100) that measures how visible, quotable, and recommendable your business is to AI systems. Cobalt Automations calculates your GEO Score across six weighted categories:
Measures how quotable and extractable your content is. AI systems need clear, factual, well-structured passages to cite. Content must be written in a way that language models can confidently attribute to your business.
Third-party mentions on platforms AI models reference: Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, and industry directories. The more authoritative sources that mention your business, the more likely AI systems are to cite you.
Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness signals that AI systems use to evaluate source credibility. Includes author credentials, original research, depth of coverage, and factual accuracy.
AI crawler access, server-side rendering, page speed, llms.txt file, and technical accessibility for AI indexing. If AI crawlers can't access your content, they can't cite it — no matter how good it is.
Schema.org markup (JSON-LD) that helps AI systems understand your business entity, services, products, and content. Structured data gives AI systems a machine-readable map of who you are and what you offer.
Readiness for specific AI platforms: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing Copilot. Each platform has unique ranking factors and content preferences that affect citation likelihood.
| Score Range | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 90 – 100 | Excellent | Your business is highly visible and frequently cited by AI systems. |
| 75 – 89 | Good | Strong AI presence with room for targeted improvements. |
| 60 – 74 | Fair | Moderate AI visibility. Key optimizations could significantly boost citations. |
| 40 – 59 | Poor | Limited AI visibility. Your competitors are likely being cited instead. |
| 0 – 39 | Critical | Your business is effectively invisible to AI search systems. |

GEO Monitor — Your AI Visibility Dashboard
GEO Premium — The Full AI Visibility War Room
AI Automation Suite — Done-For-You AI Transformation
Every business with a website is affected by the shift to AI-powered search. Here are some of the industries we serve.
If your business has a website, you need GEO monitoring. Every industry is affected by the shift to AI-powered search. Our scoring methodology adapts to your business type — whether you're a local auto dealer in Pooler, Georgia, or a global SaaS company. The question isn't whether AI search affects your business — it's whether you're visible when it does.
Everything you need to know about Generative Engine Optimization and how Cobalt Automations can help.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your website and online presence so that AI systems — including ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini — can discover, understand, cite, and recommend your business. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on search engine rankings, GEO focuses on AI citations and recommendations. Research from Georgia Tech, Princeton, and IIT Delhi shows that GEO-optimized sites see 30–115% more visibility in AI-generated responses.
An SEO score measures how well your site ranks in traditional search engines like Google. A GEO Score measures how likely AI systems are to cite and recommend your business. While there's overlap (technical foundations, quality content), GEO adds unique dimensions: AI crawler access, content citability, structured data for entity recognition, and presence on platforms that AI models reference (Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia). A site can rank #1 on Google yet score poorly on GEO if AI crawlers are blocked or content isn't structured for AI extraction.
Every month you receive: a color-coded scorecard showing your GEO Score vs. up to 3 competitors (side-by-side), your professional PDF report with overall GEO Score (0–100), individual scores across 6 categories, Semrush SEO data, a prioritized list of issues ranked by severity, specific action items with expected impact, and month-over-month tracking. If a competitor overtakes your score, you get an instant email alert. Quarterly subscribers also receive a deep-dive trend report showing your 3-month trajectory.
No. You sign up, enter your website URL, and we handle everything else. Our automated engine crawls your site, performs the analysis, generates your report, and delivers it by email. No code changes, no software to install, no meetings required. If you want to act on the recommendations, most are written in plain language that any web developer can implement.
Your first GEO audit report is typically delivered within 24 hours of subscribing. Subsequent monthly reports are generated automatically and delivered on the same date each month.
Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your monitoring will continue through the end of your current billing period.
An llms.txt file is a standardized text file (similar to robots.txt) that helps AI systems understand your website. It provides a machine-readable summary of your business, services, and key content. Having an llms.txt file makes it significantly easier for AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to accurately describe and recommend your business. Our audit checks whether you have one and assesses its quality.
Most SEO tools focus exclusively on traditional search rankings. Cobalt is built specifically for the AI search era. We measure dimensions that traditional SEO tools completely ignore: AI crawler access patterns, content citability scoring, structured data for entity recognition, llms.txt compliance, and platform-specific AI optimization. We're also fully automated with no human touchpoints — you get consistent, unbiased audits delivered like clockwork.
Cobalt Automations is an AI-native company that builds automated tools for the AI search era. Founded in 2026 and operating under Haterfree LLC in Pooler, Georgia, we developed our GEO scoring methodology through extensive analysis of AI search systems and how they select, cite, and recommend businesses.
Our methodology draws on published research from Georgia Tech, Princeton University, and IIT Delhi, combined with proprietary analysis of how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini select sources for citations. We've tested our scoring engine on hundreds of businesses across multiple industries to ensure accuracy and actionability.
We believe every business deserves to know how visible they are to AI — and at $39.99/month, there's no reason not to find out. Our mission is to democratize AI search visibility by making enterprise-grade GEO monitoring accessible to businesses of every size.
