We have shipped Turkey's first GEO audit tool

GEO has been discussed for two years but could not be measured. We shipped a tool that enters your address and rolls up, across five signals, whether answer engines can read your brand into a score out of 100 — with no equivalent we could find on the Turkish side.

GEO has been discussed for two years, yet it could not be measured. The only way to tell whether a brand showed up in generative search systems — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — was to ask questions one by one and read the answers by hand, and the result was a snapshot of that day, that session. Today we shipped a tool that closes the gap: the GEO Visibility Checker. You enter your address and, across five signals, it measures whether answer engines can read your brand and rolls it into a single score out of 100.

We ran into the need on our own site first. As an agency that explains GEO to its clients, we kept answering the question "and how do you measure that" by running a manual check every time. Turning the same work into a repeatable, public tool was the natural step — it sped up our own audits and handed a starting point to anyone asking the same question. We built the tool on the same five-signal framework we use in consulting, so what it measures comes from our field audit practice rather than theory.

Why was GEO so hard to measure?

The difficulty of GEO lies in the variability of the output. Ask a model the same question twice and you can get two different answers and two different source lists; there is no fixed ranking as in classic SEO. What can be measured is not the outcome but the ground beneath it: whether your site is readable, parseable and quotable by those engines. The tool looks precisely at that ground — not at the answer itself, but at the technical conditions that make the answer possible. That is why its output is a checklist rather than a prophecy; it reports not the engine's decision but the conditions that let you enter it.

Which five signals does the tool scan?

Five signals split a total of 100 points. AI access (25 points) reads whether robots.txt blocks generative search crawlers; a closed door makes the other four signals moot. llms.txt (15 points) checks for a content map at the site root. Structured data (20 points) inspects the JSON-LD schema on the page; this is where a model finds the answer to "who wrote this, and when". Language signals (15 points) verify the html lang tag and hreflang alternates. Question headings (25 points) count how many of your H2s are phrased as questions — generative search systems quote question-and-answer structure directly. Each signal is scored separately and rolls up into one score and a four-band rating.

How do I see the score and the report?

You see the score on screen within seconds. The findings behind each signal — which crawler is blocked, how many H2s are questions, which types the schema declares — and the suggested fixes open in a detailed report once you leave your email address. We drew that line deliberately: the score is open to everyone, the actionable list sits one step further. The report reads like a to-do list; you start with the highest-impact change.

Is a high score a ranking guarantee?

No, and we want to draw that distinction from the outset. The score is an indicator of probability, not a promise of ranking. Scoring 100 does not guarantee that ChatGPT will name your brand the next day; no engine ties its choice of sources to a single file or a single tag. What the tool measures is the technical ground that raises that probability systematically. The content itself — proof, original figures, a plain answer — sits outside the score and does the real work. Read the score as a diagnosis, not as a pledge.

What backs the 'first in Turkey' claim?

As of September 2026, we have found no other public tool that works through a Turkish interface and scores a site across five GEO signals with a line-by-line report. A few equivalents exist on the English side; we came across no checker that reads Turkish content and the generative search crawlers in robots.txt in their local context. We write the claim with a date stamp, because a field like this fills up fast — the day we see an equivalent, we will update this sentence. What we measured for is usefulness, not being first.

Who is this tool for?

Anyone exporting, running a multilingual site, or noticing that their buyer has started asking ChatGPT about the brand. For a marketing lead the tool produces a concrete brief to hand the technical team; for a founder, the chance to scan a competitor's site by the same measure and see the gap in ten seconds. A low score is not bad news but the map itself — it shows where to start.

The thesis in one sentence: GEO is no longer something you cannot measure. We cannot manage what we cannot measure, and this tool is the first step that turns GEO into work you can manage. The test you can run today takes two minutes — enter your site's address into the GEO Visibility Checker, read your score across the five signals, and start with the lowest-scoring item. Why the score matters, and the logic behind each signal, I walk through step by step in the guide to standing out in AI search.

Frequently asked questions

What does the GEO audit tool do?

The GEO Visibility Checker fetches the address you enter and scores, across five signals, how well answer engines can read and cite your brand. The result is a single score out of 100 and a four-band rating, with each signal carrying its own points. The aim is to make the odds of your brand being named by generative search systems visible and improvable.

Is the tool free to use?

For now it is free. You see the score and the four-band rating on screen at no cost; for the detailed report with line-by-line findings and fix suggestions, all you leave is an email address. The tool is not a sales gate but a diagnostic that shows where to start a GEO programme, and it is open to everyone.

How are the points split across the five signals?

The total of 100 points is spread across five signals by weight. AI access and question headings carry the highest weight, because one decides whether the engine can enter your site at all and the other whether the content is directly quotable. Structured data sits in the middle; llms.txt and language signals weigh less, yet they widen the gap on multilingual sites.

Why does the report ask for an email address?

The score is open to everyone, while the detailed report sits one step further. We ask for an email address so we can deliver the line-by-line findings and the fix list, and share GEO developments with readers who want them. The address serves a single purpose; seeing the score needs none, only opening the detailed report does.

Which page of my site does the tool scan?

The tool scans the exact address you enter — usually your home page or a specific page you point it to. Alongside it, the tool fetches robots.txt and llms.txt from the site root, because the AI access and content-map decisions are made in those two files. A single page's score does not represent the whole site; scanning your few most important pages separately gives a truer picture.

How quickly do the results appear?

The scan takes seconds. The tool fetches your page, robots.txt and llms.txt, processes the five signals and prints the score on screen at once; you do not wait days for a report. The speed comes from the tool fetching live — the result is computed on the HTML your site serves at that moment, so after a change you can re-scan and see its effect straight away.

If my score is low, what is my first step?

A low score is a map that shows where the work should begin. The first step is to look at the signal with the highest weight and the lowest score: on most sites that is a crawler blocked in robots.txt or headings never phrased as questions. Read the fix suggestions in the report as a to-do list and start with the change that earns the most points.

Does the tool work on competitor sites too?

Yes, the tool scans any publicly reachable site; it is not limited to your own. Enter a competitor's address and you can read its score across the same five signals and see the gap item by item. That gives you a practical benchmark of where you lead and where you lag on GEO in ten seconds, built on measurement rather than a guess.

Are a GEO audit and an SEO audit the same thing?

No, the two audits look at different questions. An SEO audit measures a site's technical and content health for Google ranking — speed, indexability, backlinks, keyword fit. A GEO audit measures how well answer engines can read and cite the content — AI access, llms.txt, structured data, language signals and question headings. The two overlap but are not the same; a solid SEO foundation eases GEO without guaranteeing it.

How often should I measure the score?

There is no fixed interval, but it is better to read GEO as a routine rather than a one-off job. Re-scan whenever you make a structural change to the site — a new template, a robots.txt edit, a content-architecture update — and a quarterly routine check, in a field where engines and standards shift fast, shows that your score has not quietly slipped.
