    GEO GRADER

    See How AI Knows Your Brand

    We'll query ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to show exactly what AI knows — and doesn't know — about your company.

    Free. No signup required. Takes 15-30 seconds.

    WHY GEO MATTERS

    What is the GEO Grader?

    Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine result pages. But the world has moved on — buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations. If AI doesn't know your brand, you're invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel.

    The GEO Grader probes three leading AI platforms simultaneously and scores how each one perceives your brand across 5 dimensions. It's a free, instant health check for your AI visibility — no signup required.

    This matters because AI referral traffic converts at 5x the rate of traditional organic search (14.2% vs 2.8%). As zero-click AI answers replace traditional search results, the brands that AI recommends will capture disproportionate market share.

    Market Position Assessment

    See whether AI categorizes your brand as a Leader, Challenger, or Niche player — and how that compares to how you see yourself.

    COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE

    Understand Your Competitive Landscape

    The GEO Grader doesn't just tell you if AI knows your brand — it reveals your competitive positioning. Each AI platform has its own knowledge graph, and your brand occupies a different position in each one.

    By comparing scores across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, you can identify which platforms favor your brand and where competitors may be outpacing you — so you can prioritize your GEO efforts.

    AI PERCEPTION

    Discover Your Brand's AI Perception

    Each AI platform weighs information differently. The GEO Grader breaks down your brand perception into 5 scored dimensions, with Brand Sentiment (0-40) carrying the highest weight — because how AI feels about your brand determines whether it recommends or ignores you.

    Different platforms source content differently. ChatGPT draws 44.2% of cited content from the first 30% of a page, so your opening content matters most. Meanwhile, Claude mentions brands in 97.3% of responses — the highest rate among major models.

    Presence Quality (0-20)— Accuracy, depth, freshness

    Share of Voice (0-10)— Prominence vs competitors
