The GEO Score that gets your WordPress cited by AI.
A growing share of searches now happen inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. The question isn't just "am I ranking?" anymore, it's "do AI engines cite me?" Hack The SEO measures your citability content by content, and improves it.
Your competitors show up in ChatGPT. Do you?
When an AI answers a question, it doesn't list ten blue links: it cites two or three sources. Either your content meets the bar to be one of them, or it's invisible. The problem: without measurement, there's no way to know where you stand, let alone what to fix.
- Guessing what AI engines look for, with no measurement at all
- SEO audits that say nothing about your content's citability
- An llms.txt you have to write and maintain yourself
- No idea whether GPTBot or ClaudeBot ever visit your site
- A citability score out of 100, per content piece, recalculated live
- The blocking criteria listed and prioritized, page by page
- llms.txt and .md pages generated and served automatically
- Every AI bot visit tracked in your dashboard
Your GEO score, without leaving the editor.
The GEO Score is part of the Hack The SEO WordPress plugin: nothing to configure, it appears on every post, page, and category.
Open any content piece
The score shows up in the editor: a rating out of 100, a grade, and 21 criteria split into weighted families: core SEO, content, GEO citability, meta & SERP, readability.
See exactly what's blocking your citations
The Analysis tab breaks down every criterion: direct answer in the intro, hard data, cited external sources, FAQ or definitions, freshness. What's missing is flagged, in plain language.
Fix it yourself, or let AI fix it
Metas generated, content reworked by the GEO writer, llms.txt updated. Everything lands as a draft in the Inbox: you approve, nothing publishes without you.
What AI engines look at before citing you.
Generative engines favor content they can extract and verify. The GEO Score measures exactly these signals.
AI engines pull passages that answer the question straight from the intro, not buried in paragraph 14. The score detects whether your intro actually answers, or just circles the topic.
Content that cites data and external sources reads as verifiable, and therefore citable. The score counts your hard data points and your sources.
Lists, tables, definitions, FAQ, last-updated date: everything that helps an AI break your page down into answers is measured, criterion by criterion.
A writer that produces citable copy from the first draft.
Measuring isn't enough. The Hack The SEO AI writer applies GEO criteria as it writes, and you watch the score climb live.
- GEO score calculated in real time while writing, with a numeric target to hit
- Structure, expected terms, direct answer, and sources built in from the start, not patched on afterward
- Everything arrives as a draft: you review, adjust, publish. Never goes live without you

llms.txt and .md pages: speak the language AI engines read.
LLMs struggle to read pages loaded with scripts and page builders. Hack The SEO automatically serves them a clean version of your site.
- /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt generated and served at the root (llmstxt.org standard): your priority pages and your expertise, presented to LLMs
- A clean .md (markdown) version of every content piece, readable by AI crawlers without the theme noise
- Recommended Auto mode or Manual, with a preview before publishing, from Settings → llms.txt

Track AI bots. Control it by asking.
GEO without measurement is just a belief. Hack The SEO tracks AI crawlers on your site and answers you the moment you ask.
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Meta, Bing AI: the dashboard shows who's crawling what, with trends and the most-visited pages. On hacktheseo.com: 4,776 AI bot visits over the last 30 days.
AI visibility, citations, share of voice and sentiment, comparison against your competitors, exportable as a PDF for your clients or your leadership team.
Through the Hack The SEO MCP, ask Claude: "What's my GEO score? Which AI bots are visiting my site?" and get the real numbers back.
Measure, fix, serve, track: all four.
