AI visibility measures how likely your website is to be cited by AI systems when they answer user questions.
40%
more visibility with GEO optimization
100M+
weekly active users on ChatGPT alone
When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini a question about your industry, these systems draw from web content to generate their answers. According to research from Princeton University, content optimized for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) sees up to 40% more visibility in AI-generated responses compared to content optimized only for traditional search engines. With over 100 million weekly active users on ChatGPT alone, AI visibility is becoming as important as traditional search rankings.
seenbyai evaluates your page across five categories based on the Princeton GEO framework. Each category targets specific signals that AI systems use when deciding which content to cite.
| Category | Max | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Citation Readiness | 24 | Statistics, source attributions, direct answers, specific claims |
| Structured Data | 18 | JSON-LD schemas (FAQPage, Article, Organization) |
| AI-Extractable Structure | 21 | Heading hierarchy, question-format headings, lists, tables, alt text |
| E-E-A-T & Authority | 20 | Author info, publication dates, about page, outbound links |
| Technical AI-Access | 17 | Meta tags, Open Graph, robots.txt, sitemap, llms.txt |
GEO is the practice of optimizing web content for visibility in AI-generated responses, not just traditional search results.
The term was coined in a 2024 research paper from Princeton, Georgia Tech, The Allen Institute, and IIT Delhi, published at ACM KDD 2024. The study found that specific content strategies — such as adding statistics, citing authoritative sources, and using structured markup — significantly increased how often content was cited by AI systems. While SEO focuses on ranking in a list of links, GEO focuses on being the content that AI actually quotes and references when generating answers.
Traditional SEO optimizes for click-through from a list of blue links. But AI search works differently: users get a synthesized answer, and only the sources that AI deems most citable get referenced. A page can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible to ChatGPT if it lacks the signals AI systems look for.
— Optimizes for keyword rankings
— Targets click-through from link lists
— Focuses on backlink quantity
— Meta tags and title optimization
— Content length and keyword density

seenbyai evaluates your content against the optimization signals that matter for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. The scoring is based on the Princeton GEO research framework, which studied visibility across multiple generative engines.
The score is calculated programmatically across five categories: Citation Readiness (24 points), Structured Data (18 points), AI-Extractable Structure (21 points), E-E-A-T & Authority (20 points), and Technical AI-Access (17 points). No AI calls are made during scoring — it uses pattern matching, HTML parsing, and structured data analysis.
Scan results (URL, score, metadata) are stored so you can revisit them. Screenshots uploaded for verification are processed in memory only and deleted immediately — they are never written to disk or stored in any database.
A score above 70 indicates strong AI visibility with well-optimized content. Scores between 40-70 show room for improvement, and scores below 40 suggest significant optimization opportunities. Most websites score between 15-45 without deliberate GEO optimization.
Focus on the categories where you scored lowest. Common quick wins include adding JSON-LD structured data, using question-format headings, including specific statistics with source attributions, and ensuring your robots.txt allows AI crawlers.
