GEO analysis of your website: how it works
Enter your website, our AI reads your most important pages, and you get advice that tells you, point by point, what to change and which research it rests on.
Step 1: the scanner reads your site
The scanner first fetches robots.txt. If that file forbids reading, we stop and say so. Then it reads the page you entered and follows the links and your sitemap, up to 200 pages and for at most a minute, four pages at a time. Services, prices and articles come first. It identifies itself as YourGEO, so a site administrator can recognise it.
Step 2: code measures 20 items
The measurements come from fixed rules, not from the AI model. That way the same page gets the same score. Code counts, for example, figures per 500 words, external sources, subheadings phrased as a question, and which search crawlers robots.txt allows.
We do not measure two items: whether data is really your own, and how often your brand appears on other sites. They show as n/a in the report and do not count. The thresholds are our rules of thumb, not researched standards.
Step 3: an AI model writes the advice
Claude Opus 5.5 from Anthropic receives the measurements of all pages and the text of the ten most important. The model says what it sees on your site and what you can change, and may only cite sources from our checked list. The model gets the text of your site as data: if that text contains an instruction, the model is meant to ignore it.
Step 4: code checks that text
A model does not always follow the rules in a prompt. That is why code checks every text before you see it:
- No figures that are not in the measurements, your pages or the sources.
- No sources outside our list.
- No promises about places in AI answers.
- English only, and no banned words.
If a piece of advice fails, the model gets one more attempt with the error attached. If that fails too, we leave the advice out. The label researched, documentation or rule of thumb is chosen by the code, not by the model.
What it does not do
Your GEO does not measure whether you currently appear in AI answers. It assesses whether your site is easy to read and well supported. It also cannot see blocks in your firewall, only what robots.txt says. And the advice can contain mistakes, so read it before you act on it.
