GEO audit for AI search readiness

Generative Engine Optimization begins with a site that answer engines can access and interpret. This audit tests that technical foundation and the trust signals needed to attribute a claim. It does not present crawler access as proof that a model will cite you.

Written and reviewed by Vitor Barbosa · Editor

Responsible for this site's editorial standard and published methodology. Reviews every page that makes a technical claim before publication.

Access before optimization

The audit checks robots rules for major AI user agents, response status, redirects, server-rendered content and whether important material disappears without client-side JavaScript. An experimental llms.txt file is reported as exactly that: a machine-readable aid, not a ranking standard.

Entities and attributable claims

Clear headings, organization and person entities, authorship, publication dates, contact routes and structured data help systems connect a statement to a responsible source. The audit distinguishes documented requirements from SEO Masterize heuristics so judgement never masquerades as a platform rule.

Readiness is not visibility

A readiness audit cannot establish prompt-level mentions, citations, share of voice or regional model behaviour. Those require repeated observations from named models, prompts and locations. SEO Masterize keeps that boundary visible rather than turning technical checks into a synthetic GEO score.
