GEO analysis for teams building the next discovery channel.

AI answer optimization: the three questions every page has to pass

Can it be found, can an answer be lifted out of it, and does the brand behind it get named. Most pages pass the first and fail the second — and the second is structural, not editorial.

What belongs in an AI visibility report (and what quietly ruins one)

A report someone will act on has four sections and one property: every number in it can be opened and traced back to an answer.

A robots.txt for AI crawlers you can actually defend

Not a copy-paste block — a file where every line has a reason written next to it, because the person reading it next year will not remember.

Schema markup for AI search: which types earn their keep

Structured data is still the cheapest way to state a fact in a form that survives extraction. But only a handful of types do real work, and one common pattern actively hurts.

Sitemaps and AI search: what still matters, and the failure nobody checks

A sitemap does not get you into AI answers. But a broken one quietly caps how much of your site is ever considered — and the break is usually invisible.

What is LLM SEO? A short answer and an argument about the name

LLM SEO, GEO, AEO and LLMO describe overlapping work with different emphases. Here is what each one actually points at, and which distinction is worth keeping.

AI crawler user agents: what each one does, and what blocking it costs

Seventeen agents, four jobs. The table matters less than the distinction it encodes — training, retrieval, user-triggered fetch, and usage control are four different decisions.

A GEO audit you can run in one afternoon

Four gates between a URL and an AI answer. Each one is binary, each one is cheap to test, and there is no point working on gate three while gate one is closed.

What an "AI visibility score" can and cannot tell you

A single score is useful for one thing: noticing change. It is useless for the thing people buy it for: knowing what to do next.

Does ChatGPT cite my website? How to find out, and what a "no" usually means

You can answer this in an afternoon without any tooling. The useful part is knowing which of three different failures a negative result points to.

How to track brand mentions in ChatGPT: a method you can defend

Setting up the measurement is easy. Setting it up so the number survives someone checking it is the part that takes discipline.

Why a "ChatGPT rank tracker" is measuring something that isn't there

There is no position ten in an answer. What these tools report is usually the order brands happened to appear in one sample — and that moves for reasons unrelated to you.

How to block GPTBot without disappearing from ChatGPT

The two decisions — training use and retrieval — are separable, and almost every robots.txt in the wild conflates them. Here is the file that separates them.

llms.txt: a working example, the format, and an honest note on what it does

A copyable file you can ship today, plus the part most write-ups skip: no major engine has committed to reading it.

ChatGPT SEO: three agents, three decisions, one common mistake

OpenAI names three separate agents with three separate jobs. Treating them as one is the single most common way sites remove themselves from ChatGPT results by accident.

Gemini SEO: what you actually control, and what you only declare

Gemini grounding is governed by a usage control rather than a crawler, which changes both how you optimise for it and how you can verify anything.

Perplexity SEO: the engine where a citation mistake shows up fastest

Perplexity cites sources on nearly every answer. That makes it the cheapest engine to diagnose against — and the most expensive one to stay blocked on.

How to appear in Google AI Overviews without losing your Search listing

AI Overviews and Google Search share an index but not a decision. Google documents a control that separates them — most sites use it wrong or not at all.

How to get recommended by ChatGPT (and why being cited isn't the same thing)

Mentioned, cited and recommended are three different outcomes with three different causes. Conflating them is why most GEO work stalls.

Why is my brand not in AI answers? Six causes, in the order to check them

Absence from AI answers almost always has a mechanical cause, not a mysterious one. Here are the six, ordered from cheapest to check to most expensive to fix.
