GEO Score

The GEO Score is a metric measuring a website's visibility across five AI search engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Grok. It is one of the two components of the Rankeo Score.

What It Measures

The GEO Score evaluates three dimensions of AI engine visibility:

  1. Citation rate — How often each AI engine cites the domain when answering relevant queries
  2. Position — Where the domain appears in AI-generated answers (first citation vs buried at the bottom)
  3. Sentiment — Whether the AI engine presents the domain positively, neutrally, or negatively

The 5 Engines

Each engine has different citation logic. ChatGPT favors authoritative sources with clear structure. Perplexity prioritizes recent, well-sourced content. Gemini relies heavily on Google's Knowledge Graph. Claude weighs semantic coherence and entity density. Grok favors trending and real-time sources.

The GEO Score aggregates performance across all five engines, weighting each by market share and citation reliability.
