Geo Audit

Answer

A geo audit is a structured test of whether AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude can find, read, and cite your brand — or whether they name a competitor instead. It runs live prompts, checks crawler access, and ends with a prioritized roadmap of the fixes that win citations.

What is a geo audit?

A geo audit reviews whether AI engines can find, read, and cite your brand — not just where you rank on Google. It tests live answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, then shows exactly why those engines name a competitor instead of you.

Acromatico is both a Miami photography studio and an AI studio, so we run every geo audit with the same care we bring to the darkroom — testing live answers, reading exactly what each engine sees, then sequencing the fixes that move your brand into the answers buyers act on.

Why is a geo audit important?

AI engines cite content they can access, extract, and attribute to a trusted entity. A geo audit confirms your robots.txt welcomes AI crawlers, your key facts lift cleanly, and your entity signals stay consistent — and it shows exactly where competitors appear in answers while you do not.

The output is a prioritized roadmap for winning AI citations: which pages to restructure, which facts to surface, and which crawler permissions to correct first. No guesswork — just the shortest path from invisible to cited.

How does a geo audit work?

We test live prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude, record which brands get cited and why, then inspect your robots.txt, schema, and page structure the way each AI crawler sees them. You receive a ranked list of fixes — permissions, extractability, entity signals — ordered by citation impact.

Common geo audit questions

How is a GEO audit different from an SEO audit?

An SEO audit focuses on rankings, backlinks, and crawlability for Google's blue links. A GEO audit examines whether AI engines can access, interpret, trust, and cite your content in generated answers — checking AI crawler access, extractability, entity signals, and competitive citation gaps.

What does a GEO audit check?

It reviews AI crawler permissions in robots.txt, how easily key facts can be extracted, entity and schema clarity, current citation presence across engines, and where competitors appear but you do not. The result is a prioritized plan to earn more AI answer citations.
