Can AI actually see your website?
Enter your URL. In about a minute, we’ll fetch your site the way AI crawlers do and score it across the five stages that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews can find, read, and cite you.
The free score checks one page. The $499 GEO audit covers your whole site and competitors, with a human read and a walkthrough call.
- Full-site + competitors
- Human analysis, not just a score
- Execution-ready fix list
Enter your site’s URL above and run the check — your real five-stage result appears here.
The GEO Readiness Checker is a free NexusWave tool that fetches any page the way AI crawlers do and scores it across five stages — accessible, understandable, quotable, corroborated, and current — to show whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews can find, read, and cite the site. The on-page score is instant, with no signup.
What does this tool actually check?
The checker fetches your pages the way an AI crawler does — raw HTML, no cookies, no mercy — then loads three of them in a real browser so it can report the gap between what a crawler reads and what a visitor sees. It evaluates the result against the pipeline AI assistants use before citing any source: accessible → understandable → quotable → corroborated → current. These five stages come from published research on generative engines and from the same checklist we apply in professional audits. A failure at any early stage makes the later ones irrelevant: content that can’t be fetched can’t be quoted, no matter how good it is.
Why "my site ranks on Google" isn’t the same thing
Classic search rankings and AI citations overlap but don’t coincide. Search engines index almost anything; AI assistants extract and synthesize, which punishes pages that render only in the browser, bury facts in marketing prose, or lack the structured data that tells machines what a business is. Joint research from Princeton, Georgia Tech, and IIT Delhi found extraction-optimized content earns 30–115% higher visibility in AI answers — structure isn’t cosmetic, it’s the mechanism.
The most common failure we see
Blocked crawlers — and almost nobody knows it’s happening. CDN and firewall products increasingly ship with AI-bot blocking on by default, which means businesses are invisible to AI assistants by configuration, not by content. It’s stage one of the check for a reason, and it’s usually a ten-minute fix once found.
What to do with your score
Green across the board: maintain freshness and keep publishing. Warnings: the emailed report lists them in priority order — most are structural edits any competent team can make. Red on accessibility or structure: those are engineering fixes, and whether you use us or anyone else, fix them first; nothing else counts until the crawlers can read you.
Straight answers
Yes — the on-page score is instant and free with no signup. The emailed full report (per-check details and a prioritized fix list) is free too; it just needs an address to send to.
The tool samples your site automatically and shows you who Perplexity cites instead of you — its answers are the ones we can query directly and reproducibly. The professional audit covers every page and checks ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews by hand, because what those products show a real user can’t be reproduced through an API. It adds human analysis of your content and entity signals, and ends with a walkthrough call and an execution-ready fix list.
No. The tool starts at the page you enter and samples up to ten pages from your sitemap, loading three of them in a real browser to measure what JavaScript changes. That’s a sample, not a crawl — full-site analysis is part of the professional audit.
Not necessarily; corroboration from reviews and directories can earn mentions despite a weak site. But a low score means you’re leaving the most controllable factors on the table — and competitors who fix theirs get cited ahead of you.
