The GEO Score rates how well a single piece of content can be understood, used and cited as a source by AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity. You get a score from 0 to 100 plus concrete suggestions for improvement. The GEO Score is available in every instance and free of charge.
How is this different from GEO Visibility?
The GEO Score evaluates a single text in the editor. GEO Visibility shows you how visible your brand is overall in AI search. You’ll find it under Analysis → GEO Visibility.
Where do I find the GEO Score?
Open a piece of content in the editor, switch to the Optimize section and open the GEO Score.
How is the score structured?
At the top, you’ll see the overall score (0–100) and a grade from F to A. contentbird also automatically detects the page type, e.g. Guide, and rates the text accordingly.
Below that, you’ll see:
Rated against this question: the question your text should answer. If it doesn’t fit, you can adjust it via “Correct question”.
Detected topic: a short summary of what the text is about.
Which criteria are included?
Direct answer: Does the text answer the core question clearly and early?
Citability: Are there statements an AI can quote directly?
Fact density: How many concrete numbers, dates and precise statements does the text contain?
Structural elements: Headings, lists, tables, table of contents and text length, depending on the page type.
E-E-A-T: Trust signals such as author information, external links and links to primary sources.
Topic coverage: How completely is the topic covered?
Entity coverage: Are relevant terms, products and organizations mentioned and explained?
Readability: How easy is the text to read, e.g. based on sentence length?
For each criterion, you’ll see its own score and a short explanation.
How do I improve my score?
Under Optimization tips, you’ll find concrete suggestions. Each tip shows the criterion, the estimated effort, the potential extra points and usually an example. For each tip, you can choose:
Apply: The suggestion is applied directly to the text.
Highlight in text: Shows the relevant passage.
Review manually: You adjust the passage yourself.
Dismiss: The tip is hidden.
With Apply all tips, you apply all open suggestions at once.
What does “Questions a reader also asks” show?
This lists typical follow-up questions on the topic. For each question, you’ll see whether your text covers it, partially covers it or doesn’t answer it, and how important it is. This helps you spot content gaps quickly.
What are “Entities a good text mentions”?
These are terms that belong in a complete text on your topic, grouped into organizations, products, technical terms and methods. A checkmark means the term appears in your text. “Not explained” means it’s mentioned but not put into context.
How do I update the score after making changes?
