The New Search Paradigm

What is Generative Engine Optimization?

Search is evolving from "Blue Links" to "AI Answers." GEO is the science of optimizing content for Large Language Models.

From SEO to GEO

Traditional SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks for Google. GEO focuses on Information Density, Entity Authority, and Structure for ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

How LLMs "Read"

AI models don't just index keywords; they build a Knowledge Graph. They prioritize content that contains specific data points, quotes, and logical formatting (H1-H3 hierarchy) to formulate reliable answers.

Why It Matters Now

Gartner predicts search engine volume will drop by 25% by 2026 as users shift to AI Chatbots. Brands that optimize for GEO today will own the "Answer Engine" market share of tomorrow.

24 Comprehensive Checks

We analyze your content against the exact same metrics used by Generative Engines.

Robots.txt Analysis

Verified against GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended to ensure AI crawlers are not blocked.

Our comprehensive robots.txt analysis ensures your site explicitly allows access to critical AI agents like GPTBot, CCBot, and Google-Extended. This prevents accidental blocking that would otherwise render your content invisible to the training datasets of major Large Language Models, directly impacting your visibility in future AI responses.

Sitemap Validation

Checks for sitemap.xml to ensure efficient discovery and indexing by AI agents.

A valid and accessible sitemap.xml is verified to ensure that all your pages are discoverable by search engine crawlers and AI bots. This is checking that your site architecture is transparent, allowing deep-linking and indexing of content that might otherwise be missed by shallow crawling.

Content Density Score

Calculates the ratio of unique semantic text to HTML, crucial for LLM ingestion.

We calculate a precise Content Density Score by analyzing the ratio of unique, semantic text to HTML markup code. High content density is favored by Answer Engines as it indicates information-rich pages that are computationally efficient to parse and index, unlike code-heavy pages which may be deprioritized.

Heading Hierarchy

Validates H1-H6 structure for logical outlining and clear AI tokenization.

Strict validation of your HTML, H1 through H6, heading structure ensures a logical outline that aids AI tokenization and semantic understanding. Correctly nested headings help vector databases chunk and retrieve your content accurately, preserving the context and relationship between different sections of your page.

Title Tag Optimization

Analyzes length and keyword placement for optimal display in chat citations.

Your Title Tags are analyzed for optimal length and strategic keyword placement to ensure they display correctly in AI chat citations. Clear, descriptive, and concise titles significantly increase the likelihood of your page being selected and cited as a trustworthy source in generated answers.

Meta Description

Checks for presence and length to improve click-through rates in citations.

We verify the presence and optimal length of snippet Meta Descriptions. Although not a direct ranking factor, compelling meta descriptions are often used by AI models to summarize your content in citations, heavily influencing user click-through rates from AI-generated responses.

H1 Tag Check

Ensures exactly one H1 tag exists for clear main topic extraction.

This check ensures your page contains exactly one H1 tag, which is critical for defining the main topic of your document. Multiple or missing H1 tags can confuse the semantic extraction algorithms used by summarization models, leading to poor topic association.

Image Alt Text

Verifies accessibility descriptions used by multimodal AI models for context.

We scan for Image Alt Text to ensure your visual content is accessible and understandable. Multimodal AI models rely entirely on alt text to 'see' and index images, making this crucial for your visual assets to appear in multimodal search results and answer contexts.

JSON-LD Schema

Detects structured data markup (Person, Product, Organization) for Knowledge Graph integration.

We detect and validate JSON-LD structured data markup, such as Person, Product, or Organization schemas. This structured data is the most direct method to feed factual, unambiguous information into Knowledge Graphs, significantly boosting your chances of appearing in rich snippets and direct answers.

Canonical Tags

Checks for self-referencing canonicals to prevent duplicate content penalties.

The presence of self-referencing canonical tags is verified to prevent duplicate content issues. This signals to AI models and search engines which URL is the authoritative source, ensuring that your original content gets the credit and authority it deserves in the index.

Open Graph Protocol

Validates social meta tags for rich previews in shared links.

We validate Open Graph Protocol tags to ensure your content generates rich, attractive previews when shared on social platforms. These tags also serve as a secondary signal for entity extraction, helping AI models understand the primary entities and context of your page when Schema is absent.

Twitter Card Tags

Checks metadata for optimized display and rich media on X / Grok.

Specific metadata for Twitter Cards is checked to optimize how your content appears on the X platform. This is essential for capturing traffic from X's Grok AI and ensures your shared links stand out with rich media in real-time social discovery feeds.

Hreflang Validation

Verifies internationalization tags to ensure correct language targeting.

We verify correct hreflang tags to ensure your content is served to the appropriate language and regional audience. This critical check prevents AI models from training on duplicate versions of your content in different languages, consolidating your authority signals.

SSL/HTTPS Security

Verifies secure entry points, a prerequisite for trust in modern algorithms.

We confirm that your site is served over a secure HTTPS connection. Security is a fundamental prerequisite for trust scores in modern ranking algorithms, and non-secure sites are frequently penalized or completely excluded from being synthesized into answers by AI models.

GPTBot Access

Checks if OpenAI's crawler is allowed, enabling ChatGPT Search visibility.

This specific check ensures that OpenAI's GPTBot is not disallowed in your robots.txt. Allowing this bot is mandatory for your content to be indexed for ChatGPT Search features and to be included in the training data for future GPT model iterations.

CCBot Access

Checks blocking status for Common Crawl, the primary dataset for LLMs.

We verify that Common Crawl's CCBot is definitely allowed to crawl your site. The Common Crawl dataset is the foundational training corpus for nearly every major Large Language Model, making this one of the most critical access checks for broad AI visibility.

PerplexityBot Access

Verifies visibility to Perplexity AI's real-time answer engine.

We confirm visibility to PerplexityBot to ensure your content can be accessed by Perplexity AI's real-time answer engine. Being accessible here is essential for appearing in 'live' search results and citations that are generated dynamically rather than from static training data.

Google-Extended

Checks if Google's AI training crawler is allowed for Gemini/Vertex.

We check the status of the Google-Extended user agent to ensure Google's specific AI training crawlers can access your content. This control distinctively governs whether your site helps train Gemini and Vertex AI agents, separately from standard Google Search indexing.

Bingbot Access

Verifies visibility to Bing Chat and the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem.

We verify that Bingbot has access to your site. Since Bing's index powers Microsoft Copilot and Bing Chat, satisfying this check is critical for visibility across the entire Microsoft ecosystem, including Windows-integrated AI features.

Topical Authority

Analyzes outbound links to trusted domains (gov, edu) to build credibility.

We analyze your content for outbound links to authoritative domains such as .gov, .edu, or recognized trusted sources. Linking to high-quality external sources helps establish your site's credibility and builds a 'Neighborhood of Trust' that AI algorithms value highly.

Content Freshness

Detects publication dates to verify content currency for recency weighting.

We check for explicit publication and modification dates in your metadata. Freshness is a key weighting factor for algorithms answering 'News' or 'Latest' queries, and clear date signals help AI models understand the currency and relevance of your information.

Author Verification

Detects authorship metadata to establish E-E-A-T trust signals.

We look for explicit authorship metadata to distinguish content created by verified individuals. Establishing clear authorship contributes to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) signals, which are critical for building reliable trust vectors in the Knowledge Graph.

Schema Richness

Evaluates usage of varied structured data types (FAQ, LocalBusiness).

We evaluate the diversity and depth of structured data types implemented on your page, such as FAQ, Article, or LocalBusiness schemas. A richer variety of schema provides more semantic 'hooks' for AI to parse, understand, and display your content in specialized formats.

HTML Size Analysis

Monitors total page size to fit within standard AI context windows.

We monitor the total size of your HTML document to ensure it fits comfortably within the context window limits of standard AI models. Pages with excessive DOM size risk truncation, which causes footer content and lower-page details to be ignored during ingestion.

From the Founder

Why I built Viametric

Davide Agostini, Founder of Viametric

Davide Agostini

Founder @ Viametric

Building for the AI Era

I started seeing the shift in 2024.

I was optimizing websites for Google's 10 blue links. Monitoring rankings. Building backlinks.
Every. Single. Day.

Then ChatGPT Search and Perplexity took off, and I realized a terrifying truth:

Traditional SEO tools were blind.

  • They couldn't tell if an LLM could define my brand.
  • They lumped high-intent AI traffic into "Direct" or "Dark".

That's why I built Viametric.

  • One dashboard to track your Share of Voice in AI.
  • Simulators to see exactly how machines read your content.
  • Attribution to claim credit for that "Dark Traffic".

Since then, we've helped companies uncover 20-30% more traffic they didn't know they had.

If you also want to stop flying blind and start optimizing for the future of search, try Viametric for free.
