1. Why GEO Matters More Than Ever

AI search engines are becoming the primary source of answers for many users. Unlike traditional search, they synthesise information from multiple sources and present a single, conversational answer. To be included, your content must be structured, authoritative, and easy for AI to parse. This is where GEO comes in.

2. The Four Pillars of GEO

Our GEO readiness score is based on four key checks: llms.txt – a simple file that gives AI a summary of your site; AI bot allowance – letting GPTBot and ClaudeBot access your content; question headings – H2/H3 headings with question marks that match natural language queries; and FAQ Schema – structured data that explicitly lists questions and answers.

  • Create an llms.txt file in your root directory
  • Allow AI bots in robots.txt (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google‑Extended)
  • Use question‑based headings (e.g., "How do I fix this?")
  • Add FAQPage JSON‑LD to your pages

3. How NakedURL Helps You GEO‑Ready

NakedURL automatically scans your website for these four pillars. It checks if llms.txt exists, whether AI bots are blocked, counts question headings, and validates FAQ schema. You get a clear GEO score and specific recommendations to improve each area.

⚠️ The Problem

Most websites are not ready for AI search
  • No llms.txt file – AI models can't understand your site structure
  • AI bots blocked by robots.txt
  • No question‑based headings – content doesn't match natural queries
  • Missing FAQ schema – AI can't extract Q&A pairs

NakedURL gives you a GEO score and a checklist to improve it
  • Instant GEO score (0‑100)
  • Check llms.txt existence and content
  • Verify AI bot access in robots.txt
  • Count question headings and suggest improvements
  • Detect FAQ schema and provide JSON‑LD examples

Key Features

llms.txt check

Question headings

FAQ schema validation

I added llms.txt, but my GEO score is still low. What else do I need?
Check your FAQ schema and question headings. AI search engines love structured data and natural language queries. NakedURL will tell you exactly how many question headings you have and whether FAQ schema is present. Add both to boost your GEO readiness.
