Your GEO: frequently asked questions
About the check, the advice and your data. Questions about GEO in general are on a separate page.
What does Your GEO do?
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. To do so, Your GEO measures 20 items across four pillars.
Is the GEO check from Your GEO free?
Yes, the check is free and does not require an account. With a free account you can save a site and measure it again later.
Does Your GEO really visit my website?
Yes. Your GEO reads up to 200 pages, four at a time, plus robots.txt and the sitemap. The scanner introduces itself as YourGEO and fetches nothing that robots.txt forbids. It skips login pages and privacy texts.
Which AI model writes the advice at Your GEO?
The advice comes from Claude Opus 5.5 by Anthropic. The model does not take the measurements: those come from fixed rules, so the same page gets the same score. The model connects those measurements to the text on your site.
How do I know the advice from Your GEO is correct?
Every piece of advice has a label: researched, documentation or rule of thumb, with a link to the source. Code checks the AI text for invented figures and unknown sources. A mistake remains possible, so read the advice before you adopt it.
Does Your GEO guarantee a place in AI answers?
No. Your GEO assesses whether your site is easy to read and well supported. Whether an AI tool then mentions you is something nobody controls. That is why we also do not measure any expected gain in customers or revenue.
What happens to the text of my website at Your GEO?
The text of the pages that were read goes to Anthropic to write the advice. The report stays in the memory of the server for up to an hour, so a second visit does not cost a new analysis. After that it is gone, unless you save it in your account.
Why do some checks at Your GEO get no score?
Some things cannot be read from a page, such as mentions on other sites. Those checks appear as n/a in the report and do not count. We do not fill in an estimate to make the report look fuller.
Why does the Your GEO check fail on my website?
The most common causes are a firewall that refuses the scanner, a robots.txt that forbids crawlers, or a site that cannot be reached. The error message states the reason. In the first case, the same block may also keep out AI crawlers.
Is Your GEO a real company?
No, Your GEO is a school project. The analysis really works, but there are no customers yet, the prices are fictional and payment is not possible. Example companies on this site are made up and are labelled as such.
