1. The Universal GEO Framework

To get cited by any AI search engine, you need: llms.txt – a summary for AI; FAQ schema – structured Q&As; question headings – match natural queries; AI bot access – allow crawlers; and authority – backlinks and trust.

2. How NakedURL Gives You a Cross‑Platform Score

We combine all four pillars into a single GEO score. We also check your authority (Ahrefs DR, Babbar BAS) and content freshness. This score is a good indicator of your likelihood to be cited by any AI engine.

3. Your Action Plan for Universal AI Visibility

1. Create llms.txt. 2. Add FAQPage schema to key pages. 3. Write question‑based headings. 4. Allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and Google‑Extended. 5. Build backlinks and publish fresh content.

  • Use all four GEO pillars
  • Monitor your GEO score with NakedURL
  • Regularly update content to stay relevant
  • Track which AI engines cite you over time
