GAA/SEO
AI SEARCH READINESS / V1.0

Don't just rank.
Get cited.

GAA/SEO is a free AI Search Readiness scanner: it grades any website across all four layers of search — SEO, GEO, AEO, and AIO — then generates the schema-backed, answer-shaped fixes that get you found, trusted, and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews. Scan free, no signup; upgrade only to auto-generate content.

01, SUBSTRATE

SEO

The substrate everything is built on.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO isn't dead, it's the floor. AI answers feed on the same crawled, ranked web, and AI Overviews overwhelmingly cite pages that already rank on page one. If a page can't be crawled, indexed, and ranked, no AI layer will ever surface it. We audit the foundation first, because nothing above it holds without it.

  • Crawlability & indexability: robots.txt, XML sitemap, canonicals, noindex audit, orphan pages
  • Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and mobile responsiveness
  • On-page basics: title tags, meta descriptions, unique H1s, heading hierarchy
  • Internal linking depth, broken links, redirect chains, and authority signals

02, CITATION

GEO

Get pulled into the AI Overview, not listed under it.

Generative Engine Optimization

AI Overviews now appear on roughly 48% of tracked queries and reach over a billion people, and ~83% of those searches never produce a click. The only way to stay visible is to be the source quoted inside the answer box. GEO targets passage-level citability: clean, self-contained, factual chunks an LLM can lift and attribute, backed by the E-E-A-T signals citation algorithms scan first.

  • Passage-level citability: self-contained, quotable answer blocks with clear claims
  • E-E-A-T signals: visible bylines, credentials, dates, and primary-source links
  • Original data, statistics, and quotable definitions LLMs prefer to cite
  • AI-crawler access (Google-Extended not blocked) and content rendered server-side

03, ANSWER

AEO

Own the single direct answer.

Answer Engine Optimization

Featured snippets, People Also Ask, knowledge panels, voice results, the original zero-click surfaces that trained users to expect an instant answer. On phones, 77% of queries end without a visit to another site. Winning the answer box captures that moment and strongly correlates with being chosen as the source AI engines synthesize from, since they draw on the same snippet-style content.

  • Featured-snippet readiness: 40–60 word direct answers placed high on the page
  • FAQPage, Q&A, and How-To structured data where applicable
  • Question-based headings mapped to People Also Ask and conversational queries
  • Answer-then-detail structure: concise definitions, ordered steps, comparison tables

04, CROWN

AIO

Be the brand the assistants recommend off-Google.

AI Optimization

ChatGPT hit ~900M weekly users by early 2026, but its share of generative-AI traffic fell from ~87% to ~57% as Gemini surged to ~25%. Visibility now has to be earned across every assistant, each with its own crawler and sourcing behavior. AIO covers your mention and citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot, plus the crawler access and entity signals they aggregate.

  • Citation & brand-mention tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot
  • AI-crawler access: OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Bingbot not blocked
  • Consistent Organization data and sameAs links across the web for disambiguation
  • llms.txt detection (forward-looking, not yet read by major crawlers, and we say so)

FREE SCAN, NO SIGNUP

What's your AI Search Readiness?

Paste a URL and get a real grade across all four layers, SEO, GEO, AEO, and AIO, plus your crawler access matrix, schema coverage, and the top issues holding you back. Free, every time you run it.

Free forever, no account, no card. We score what we can actually fetch and parse; we don't promise citations, because nobody honestly can. Schema and llms.txt help eligibility and clarity, not magic placement.

THE PROCESS

From a URL to content that gets quoted.

  1. 01

    Paste your URL

    One field, no signup, no credit card. Drop in a domain and hit run. The first scan is free and takes seconds, not a sales call.

  2. 02

    We read all four layers

    We fetch and parse your site against SEO, GEO, AEO, and AIO in a single pass, crawler access, schema coverage, Core Web Vitals, answer-shaped content, E-E-A-T, citability. Real stages, not a fake progress bar.

  3. 03

    Get one number, then the why

    A composite AI Search Readiness score from 0 to 100, four pillar grades beneath it, and an editorial report: crawler matrix, schema coverage, llms.txt status, and a prioritized issues list with projected lift.

  4. 04

    Generate the fix

    Diagnosis is where legacy tools stop. With The Press, each issue comes with a one-click fix, answer-shaped, schema-backed, citable content written to be quoted by AI, not just to rank.

THE OLD WAY

Legacy tools diagnose rankings and stop.

  • Built to win blue links in a ten-blue-links world
  • Audits end in a spreadsheet of problems
  • Blind to whether AI can find, trust, or cite you
  • Ahrefs · Semrush · Moz · Screaming Frog

THE GAAS WAY

GAAS measures whether AI can find, trust, and cite you, then writes it.

  • Scores all four layers, SEO, GEO, AEO, AIO, in one pass
  • Generates the answer-shaped, schema-backed fix
  • Tracks your readiness score as it climbs

Honest by design: schema and llms.txt aid eligibility and clarity, not guaranteed citations. We report what we can verify, accuracy is the differentiator.

THE PRESS, $5/MO

Watch a thin page become a cited one.

Each prioritized issue becomes a one-click fix. We move from measure to make.

Built for the people watching clicks disappear.

"We ranked #1 for our category and watched clicks fall off a cliff anyway. GAAS was the first tool that explained why, the answer was being eaten by the AI Overview. We rewrote three pages with the generated snippets and started showing up inside it."

Marisol VegaHead of Growth, fintech SaaS

"The crawler access matrix alone was worth it. We had no idea PerplexityBot was blocked in our robots.txt for eight months. Fixed it in an afternoon and started seeing Perplexity citations within two weeks."

Dan OkaforFounder, B2B analytics startup

"What sold me was the honesty. It flat-out told me llms.txt isn't read by major crawlers yet instead of upselling me on it. After years of SEO snake oil, a tool that won't lie to me is rare."

Priya RamanIndependent SEO consultant

"Five dollars a month and it writes the FAQPage JSON-LD for me. I used to pay an agency four figures for a quarterly audit that ended in a spreadsheet of problems and no fixes. This ends in fixes."

Tomás HerreraMarketing lead, DTC home goods

"The four-pillar breakdown finally gave my exec team a single number to care about. 'Our AI readiness is a 61, here's the plan to 85' lands in a board deck way better than a wall of keyword data."

Janet LiuVP Marketing, healthtech

"I run scans on every client site before the first call now. It's a free, instant credibility builder, they see their AIO grade, they see ChatGPT isn't citing them, and the conversation writes itself."

Marcus BellAgency owner, content studio
