What is the Hack The SEO GEO Score?A rating out of 100 assigned to every WordPress content piece, measuring its ability to be cited by generative AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini) on top of its core SEO fundamentals. It's calculated directly in the editor, with a breakdown of the criteria and the fixes to make. What's the difference between SEO and GEO?SEO optimizes your position in Google's results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes your odds of being cited in AI answers. GEO doesn't replace SEO: it extends it. Well-structured content ranks on Google and gets cited by AI engines. That's why Hack The SEO handles both in a single score. How is the score calculated?21 criteria split into weighted families: core SEO, content, GEO citability, meta & SERP, and readability. The GEO citability family checks in particular for a direct answer in the intro, hard data, cited external sources, the presence of an FAQ or definitions, and content freshness. Does the GEO Score guarantee I'll be cited by ChatGPT?No, and be wary of anyone who promises you that: the final call belongs to the AI engines. The score maximizes the verifiable conditions for citation. On timing, stay realistic: first signals around day 15, citations on niche queries around day 30, and 60 to 90 days on competitive topics. What is the llms.txt file?An emerging standard (llmstxt.org): a file at the root of your site that presents your priority pages and your area of expertise to LLMs. Hack The SEO generates and serves it automatically in two versions: **/llms.txt** (short) and **/llms-full.txt** (full), in Auto or Manual mode with a preview. What are .md pages for?AI crawlers struggle to read pages loaded with scripts and layout markup. The .md version of every content piece gives them the pure text, structured in markdown: simpler to ingest, and therefore simpler to cite correctly. How do I know if AI bots are visiting my site?The plugin tracks visits from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Gemini, Meta, and Bing AI: total visits, breakdown by bot, trend, and most-crawled pages. You see in real data whether your GEO work is attracting AI engines: on our own site, 4,776 AI bot visits were tracked over the last 30 days. Does the plugin fix things, or do I have to do it by hand?It takes action: metas generated, content rewritten by the GEO writer, llms.txt and .md pages maintained automatically. Every content change goes through a draft in the Inbox: you approve before publishing, and applied actions remain reversible. Does it work with Elementor, Divi, WooCommerce?Yes. The score analyzes the page's actual content, regardless of builder: Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Avada. It also rates WooCommerce blog and product categories, with SEO title and description generation. Which plan do I need for the GEO Score?The overall score and llms.txt are included even in the free plan. Pro (€99/month excl. VAT) unlocks detailed analysis and full tracking; Ultra (€249/month excl. VAT) adds the GEO writer and automatic fixes. Full details on the [pricing page](https://hacktheseo.com/pricing/).
