# GEO Tool — Free GEO readiness check for one URL, plus paid audits, early-access answer monitoring and a Berlin GEO agency. > Source: CitedIndex — https://citedindex.com/geo-tool (structured, researched, re-verified) > Facts last verified: 2026-09-14 GEO Tool is a free web-based checker from Berlin's track by track GmbH that scores any URL from 0 to 100 on technical and editorial readiness for AI answer engines. Paid audits, an early-access answer-monitoring workspace and done-for-you implementation sit alongside it. | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Website | https://www.geo-tool.com | | Price | free, then from €299 (about $335)/one time | | Free tier | Yes | One URL per run, scored by 25 checks in six categories; no signup, account, card or subscription. Ongoing prompt monitoring is excluded from the free tier, and the hosted MCP route is capped at 30 calls per hour per IP. ## What it does **Monitors AI answers** · Partly — Answer monitoring is real but gated: the workspace measures mentions per prompt and engine, yet the vendor sells it only to selected teams in early access rather than as a bookable plan. > Measures whether your brand is mentioned in AI-generated answers: per customer question (prompt), per engine, with sources, competitor comparison and share of voice. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage, three-ways section, AI monitoring card **Optimises your content** · Yes — The free check crawls a page you already have and returns a prioritised fix list across schema, llms.txt, structure and entity linking rather than a bare score. > No vague recommendations. You get a checklist: Schema Markup, llms.txt, content structure, entity linking, FAQ markup. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/geo-tool · GEO Tool Features, Actionable Optimization Tips **Generates content** · Partly — The analyser drafts AI-optimised summaries and complete JSON-LD from your page, but it writes no articles; full content production is the separate agency engagement. > Scans the first 150 words for direct answers and generates AI-optimized summaries. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage feature block, Answer-First Analyzer **Publishes to your site** · Partly — No CMS connector is offered anywhere on the site; changes reach a live site only when the Berlin team implements them as a done-for-you service. > We implement comprehensive Schema.org markup, optimize your page structure, and ensure AI crawlers can perfectly understand and categorize your content. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/services · Our Proven GEO Process, Phase 2 Technical Optimization **Technical AEO** · Yes — Technical AEO is the core of the product: crawler directives in robots.txt, llms.txt, canonical, noindex, render-without-JavaScript and JSON-LD all score inside the System readiness category. > Reachability, HTTPS, response time, noindex, AI crawlers in robots.txt, canonical, title, description, viewport, llms.txt > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/ext-report · The six categories, System readiness **Done-for-you service** · Yes — A Berlin team sells audits, implementation and ongoing reporting as done-for-you work, so the people rather than the software do the optimisation. > Professional Generative Engine Optimization for maximum visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and all relevant AI search systems. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/services · Services hero paragraph ## Answer engines **ChatGPT** · Yes — ChatGPT is the one surface measured daily on the real ChatGPT search, and it is the only engine behind every measurement published in the vendor's own visibility index. > ChatGPT is measured daily; Google Gemini and Perplexity as regular deep measurements. Manually triggered measurements always run across all engines. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Methodology FAQ, How often do you measure? **Perplexity** · Partly — Perplexity is named as a verified live surface but runs only as a periodic deep measurement, not daily, and no published aggregate yet contains a Perplexity measurement. > ChatGPT is measured daily; Google Gemini and Perplexity as regular deep measurements. Manually triggered measurements always run across all engines. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Methodology FAQ, How often do you measure? **Gemini** · Partly — Google Gemini is a verified live surface on the same periodic deep-measurement cadence as Perplexity rather than the daily ChatGPT run, and the free website check never queries it. > ChatGPT is measured daily; Google Gemini and Perplexity as regular deep measurements. Manually triggered measurements always run across all engines. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Methodology FAQ, How often do you measure? **Google AI Overviews** · Partly — AI Overviews is a target the website audit scores against Google's own guidance, but it is not one of the three surfaces the workspace queries live, so no mention data exists for it. > The analysis evaluates your website against official Google Search guidance for AI Overviews and AI Mode, then extends that SEO foundation with agent readiness for GPT, Perplexity, Claude > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage, NEW IN THE GEO SKILLSET block **Google AI Mode** · Partly — AI Mode is covered the same way as AI Overviews: the audit checks the page against Google's published guidance for it, while no live AI Mode measurement runs in the workspace. > The analysis evaluates your website against official Google Search guidance for AI Overviews and AI Mode, then extends that SEO foundation with agent readiness for GPT, Perplexity, Claude > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage, NEW IN THE GEO SKILLSET block **Claude** · Partly — Claude appears only as a readiness target: the audit tests signals Claude relies on and the free robots tools cover ClaudeBot, while the enumerated live-measurement surfaces do not include it. > The website check tests cross-platform signals that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews all rely on: crawl access, content structure, answerability > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 13, Which AI platforms does the GEO check cover? **Microsoft Copilot** · Partly — Copilot is named only in the list of platforms whose shared signals the website check tests; it is absent from the enumerated set of surfaces where live measurements actually run. > The website check tests cross-platform signals that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews all rely on: crawl access, content structure, answerability > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 13, Which AI platforms does the GEO check cover? **Grok** · No — Grok is named nowhere on the site: the measured surfaces are enumerated as three, and the free robots.txt builder's eleven-crawler list contains no xAI user agent either. > Every visibility measurement asks a real money question on a real AI search surface — ChatGPT search, Google Gemini and Perplexity. No simulation > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Five principles, Real queries on verified surfaces **DeepSeek** · No — DeepSeek is absent from the enumerated live surfaces and from the vendor's crawler inventory, so neither the monitoring workspace nor the readiness check addresses it. > Every visibility measurement asks a real money question on a real AI search surface — ChatGPT search, Google Gemini and Perplexity. No simulation > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Five principles, Real queries on verified surfaces **Meta AI** · No — Meta AI is never measured; it surfaces only as the meta-externalagent crawler token in the free robots.txt generator, which is crawl permission rather than an answer measurement. > Every visibility measurement asks a real money question on a real AI search surface — ChatGPT search, Google Gemini and Perplexity. No simulation > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Five principles, Real queries on verified surfaces **Coverage in the vendor’s words** · Partly — Coverage is split in two and the vendor says so: six platforms inform the website readiness check, while only ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity have verified live paths, and unverified engines stay hidden. > The workspace shows only monitoring surfaces whose real provider path exists, is active, and has been verified. Planned or unverified engines are not sold as available measurements > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 9, Which AI surfaces does the GEO Tool monitor? ## What it reports **Names the cited sources** · Partly — Cited sources per question and engine are collected, typed and compared against competitors, but only inside the early-access workspace; the free check judges whether your page is citable at all. > In the GEO Tool workspace it is part of monitoring: for each question and engine, the cited sources are collected, classified by type (own site, press, directories, forums) > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 14, Which platforms offer source analysis **Competitor tracking** · Partly — Competitors named in an answer are stored with every measurement and the paid audit adds a citation benchmark, yet the free check offers only industry-level context, not a rival watchlist. > For every measurement we store the answer excerpt, the cited sources, your rank and the competitors mentioned. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Five principles, Traceable down to the answer **Brand sentiment** · Partly — Sentiment is reported as positive, neutral or factually wrong per mention rather than as an attribute map, and it arrives through monitoring or the agency's monthly reports. > Sentiment adds whether the mention is positive, neutral or factually wrong. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 15, How do I measure brand visibility **Recommendations** · Yes — Every report ends in a prioritised checklist of concrete edits instead of a score alone, covering schema, llms.txt, content structure, entity linking and FAQ markup. > No vague recommendations. You get a checklist: Schema Markup, llms.txt, content structure, entity linking, FAQ markup. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/geo-tool · GEO Tool Features, Actionable Optimization Tips **AI crawler analytics** · Partly — You learn which AI crawlers your robots.txt permits, not which ones actually hit your server; real log-file analysis appears only in the paid GEO Audit deliverable. > Paste your robots.txt. The check tells you for every relevant AI crawler whether it may read the page. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/tools/ki-crawler-check · AI crawler check tool, intro paragraph **Wrong answers about you** · Partly — A mention can be flagged as factually wrong as part of sentiment, but there is no dedicated hallucination report and the flag exists only where monitoring runs. > Sentiment adds whether the mention is positive, neutral or factually wrong. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en · Homepage FAQ 15, How do I measure brand visibility ## Plans and signing up **Prompt or credit allowance** · Partly — No plan-level prompt or credit allowance is published anywhere; the only stated query ceiling is 30 calls per hour on the hosted MCP endpoint for agents. > Hosted MCP server (Streamable HTTP, no auth, 30 calls/hour): > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/developers · MCP & Agents section, hosted server line **Projects or brands** · Partly — The Terms meter projects and domains per plan, so several brands are possible, but no plan and no limit is published. > Plans may include usage limits, such as users, projects, domains, prompts, queries, reports, API calls, storage, sessions, refresh frequency or support scope. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/agb · Clause 6 'Plans, usage limits and fair use', first paragraph **Countries** · Partly — The website audit is stated to handle DACH and international multilingual sites, but no market or country selector is documented for the monitoring measurements themselves. > Optimized for German-speaking markets (DE, AT, CH) and international websites. Multilingual analysis available. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/geo-tool · GEO Tool Features, DACH + International **How often it checks** · Yes — Cadence is engine-dependent and stated plainly: ChatGPT runs daily, Gemini and Perplexity as periodic deep measurements, and a manual run triggers every engine at once. > ChatGPT is measured daily; Google Gemini and Perplexity as regular deep measurements. Manually triggered measurements always run across all engines. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/methodik · Methodology FAQ, How often do you measure? **Card required to start** · No — The free GEO Score check asks for no card, no subscription and no account at all; payment details only enter the picture for a quoted audit or engagement. > No signup. No subscription. No credit card. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/geo-tool · Hero, under Try Free Now button **Self-serve signup** · Partly — The free check is fully self-serve in under a minute, but every paid path runs through people: audits need a scoping call and monitoring needs an early-access invitation. > Directly via geo-tool.com: start with the free GEO check, then request the audit through the contact form. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/geo-audit · Frequently Asked Questions, Where can I book a GEO audit? ## Access and integrations **API** · Partly — The public API is open and unauthenticated but only exposes blog posts and the aggregate visibility index; the page analysis itself is deliberately kept out of it. > The website analysis is deliberately undocumented and not intended for programmatic access. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/developers · What is not part of the API section **MCP server** · Yes — An agent can run the check directly through a hosted no-auth MCP server, a local npm MCP server, a Claude Code plugin or the browser extension. > The GEO technical check is available to agents in every form — as a hosted MCP server, a local npm package, a Claude Code plugin, and a browser extension. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/developers · MCP & Agents section, opening paragraph **BI export** · No — The documented programmatic surface is two public read-only endpoints; no warehouse connector, BI integration or customer-data export is published anywhere. > Two read-only endpoints, no authentication, no key, no signup. > — https://www.geo-tool.com/en/developers · Developers page, "GEO Tool API" intro paragraph ## Coverage elsewhere | Source | Kind | Read | | --- | --- | --- | | developers.google.com | Independent source | 2026-08-22 | | northdata.com | Independent source | 2026-08-22 | ## CitedIndex in AI answers 0 of 4 answers cite CitedIndex. | Engine | Result | Question | Asked on | Other sources | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ChatGPT | Does not cite CitedIndex | GEO Tool alternatives | 2026-10-12 | paralect.com, toolsolved.com, blog.hubspot.com, agilityportal.io, peec.ai, tripledart.com | | Claude | Listed no sources | GEO Tool alternatives | 2026-09-04 | — | | Gemini | Does not cite CitedIndex | GEO Tool alternatives | 2026-09-04 | ecomtent.ai, quattr.com, nogood.io, nicklafferty.com, medium.com, answersocrates.com | | Perplexity | Does not cite CitedIndex | GEO Tool alternatives | 2026-10-12 | parse.gl, llmpulse.ai, gokwik.co, geoptie.com, visby.ai, beamtrace.com | ## What changed - 2026-09-14 — Capabilities · Free tier - 2026-09-02 — Capabilities · Terms - 2026-09-01 — Free tier - 2026-08-31 — Free tier · Price · Terms - 2026-08-30 — Capabilities · Links · Terms - 2026-08-22 — Alternatives ## Corrections If you represent GEO Tool, or anything here is wrong or out of date, send a correction with a source.
