What UNHIDE.ME checks
- llms.txt
- Whether your site exposes the context file LLMs actually look for — and what it should contain for your business.
- AI crawler access
- Whether GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended can reach your content, or are being quietly blocked by robots.txt.
- Structured data
- Organization, FAQ, Article and HowTo schema — the fields models prefer to quote from.
- Citability
- How easy it is for a model to extract a quotable claim: named authors, dated pages, cited sources, clear definitions.
- Retrieval shape
- Whether your pages answer in the first paragraph, whether lists and tables are machine-readable, whether your headings map to questions people ask.
- Brand visibility
- What ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity actually say when someone asks about you today — and who gets recommended instead.
What's GEO
Search isn't ten blue links anymore. It's one paragraph with a few citations. GEO is the work of being in that paragraph — quoted by the model instead of ranked underneath it.
Traditional SEO
Rank on a results page. Hope someone clicks.
GEO
Be the sentence the model quotes.
The discovery layer is shifting
58%
of clicks to the #1 Google result disappear when an AI Overview shows — up from 34% a year earlier.
28%
of the pages AI cites most have zero Google ranking. AI search is a separate discovery layer, not just SEO.
44%
"Best X" listicles and comparisons are the single most-cited content format by AI chatbots.

Frequently asked questions
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of making your website discoverable, parseable and quotable by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews — so the model cites you in its answer instead of burying you on a results page.
How does UNHIDE.ME help my site rank in AI search?
UNHIDE.ME scans your site for the signals AI engines rely on, then generates the actual fixes you need — and you can apply them directly or hand them to your web agency.
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt context files
- Structured data (Organization, FAQ, Article schema)
- robots.txt rules that allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot
- Content recommendations for citability and freshness
Which AI search engines does UNHIDE.ME track?
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google (AI Overviews / Gemini), plus more. UNHIDE.ME checks crawler access for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, and tracks how each model describes your brand today.
What does the free AI readiness scan check?
Every scan checks the foundations AI engines look for:
- llms.txt presence and spec validity
- AI crawler access in robots.txt
- Structured data and schema coverage
- E-E-A-T signals — named authors, dates, citations
- Retrieval shape — answer-first content, lists and Q&A headings
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
SEO optimizes to rank on a results page and earn a click. GEO optimizes to be the sentence the model quotes — it prioritizes machine-readable structure, citable claims and AI-crawler access over keyword density and backlinks.
Is UNHIDE.ME GDPR-compliant and EU-hosted?
Yes. UNHIDE.ME is built and hosted in the EU and is GDPR-compliant — we use only essential cookies and never sell your data.
