Frequently Asked Questions
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of optimizing your website's content structure, structured data, and authority signals so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and others are more likely to understand, trust, and cite your content.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for Google and Baidu rankings, measured by keywords and clicks. GEO optimizes for AI engine answers, measured by citation count and question coverage. Both matter, but the tactics differ completely.
How do I know if my website is cited by AI?
Run a GEOScope GEO audit (30 seconds, 8 dimensions), or add your brand to the AI Citation Monitor to track citation changes across 8 engines. You can also ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend tools in your category.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
Strongly recommended. llms.txt is a table of contents for AI crawlers, helping them understand your site faster and cite it more accurately. GEOScope's Toolbox generates it in one click.
Which AI engines does GEOScope support?
Currently ChatGPT, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Doubao, Kimi, Tongyi, Wenxin, Gemini, and more — 8 to 9 mainstream engines, continuously expanding.
