A weighted self-assessment across the signals that drive AI citation. Weights reflect each signal's relative pull on Share of Model; your real-world results depend on execution quality and competitive context.
How this works
Twelve signals, grouped into the four levers that move AI citation: whether engines can access you, whether they trust you, whether you offer Information Gain they can't get elsewhere, and whether your content is structured to be parsed. Each is weighted by its relative impact, scored No / Partial / Yes, and summed to 100.
The ranked gaps surface the highest unrealized points first , the fastest path to being cited. Authority and original data carry the most weight because they're the hardest for competitors to copy.
How to use it
- Rate your brand across crawlability, authority, Information Gain and structure.
- Read your readiness score and band.
- Fix the lowest-scoring dimension first.
Frequently asked questions
What does the GEO Readiness Scorecard measure?
The four things that decide whether AI engines cite you: crawlability (can bots fetch and read the page), authority (do trusted sources corroborate you), Information Gain (do you add something not already everywhere), and structure (is the answer extractable). It scores each and ranks your gaps.
What is Information Gain?
The degree to which your page adds new, non-redundant information versus restating what every other page says. Engines favour sources that contribute something, original data, a distinct point of view, so high Information Gain lifts citation odds.
Is the GEO Readiness Scorecard free to use?
