Frequently Asked Questions
About the Tool
What is ScanMyGEO?
ScanMyGEO is a free AI visibility audit tool that checks whether your local business appears in Google AI search results. We scan 10 real queries through Gemini with Google Search grounding and generate a 0-100 visibility score.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of optimizing your business to appear in AI-generated search results from engines like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It complements traditional SEO by focusing on AI citability.
How does the AI visibility scan work?
We generate 10 industry-specific queries based on your business type and location, send them through Google AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash with Search grounding), then analyze each response for mentions of your business name, website citations, and competitor presence.
Which AI engines does ScanMyGEO scan?
ScanMyGEO currently scans Google AI using Gemini 2.5 Flash with Google Search grounding. This is the same technology that powers Google AI Overviews, which appear at the top of Google search results for millions of queries.
How long does a scan take?
A typical scan takes 30-90 seconds. We run 10 queries in parallel through Google AI, analyze the responses, calculate your score, and generate your action plan — all automatically.
Scores & Results
What does my AI visibility score mean?
Your score ranges from 0 to 100 and measures how visible your business is in AI search results. Scores above 70 (A/B grade) indicate strong AI presence. Scores below 40 (D/F grade) mean AI engines rarely mention your business.
What is a good AI visibility score?
Scores of 70-100 (A grade) are excellent — AI consistently mentions and recommends your business. Scores of 50-69 (B/C) show room for improvement. Most local businesses score below 40 on their first scan.
Why is my score low?
Common reasons include: missing structured data (JSON-LD), no Google Business Profile, thin website content, few online citations and directory listings, and no FAQ or Q&A content that AI engines can easily extract and cite.
How are competitors determined?
Our AI detects businesses mentioned in the same search responses as yours. If Google AI recommends three dentists in your city and you are one of them, the other two are flagged as competitors in your report.
Fix Package
What is in the Fix Package?
The $49 Fix Package includes: copy-paste LocalBusiness JSON-LD code, 10 AI-optimized FAQ items, 5 quick answer summaries, a Google Business Profile optimization checklist, 5 meta description rewrites, and 3 content recommendations with detailed outlines.
What is JSON-LD and why do I need it?
JSON-LD is structured data code that tells search engines and AI exactly what your business is, where it is located, and what services you offer. Adding JSON-LD to your website is one of the fastest ways to improve AI visibility.
How do I use the FAQ content from my Fix Package?
Copy the generated FAQ items and add them to your website as a FAQ page or section. The content is optimized with concise, factual answers that AI engines prefer to cite. Include FAQPage schema markup for maximum impact.
Do I need technical skills to use the Fix Package?
Basic HTML knowledge helps for adding JSON-LD code, but most deliverables are copy-paste ready. If you need help, our $499 Done-for-You service handles all implementation for you.
Pricing & Payments
Is the free scan really free?
Yes, completely free with no credit card required. You get your AI visibility score, letter grade, mention count, and basic competitor detection at zero cost.
What does the $49 Fix Package include?
The Fix Package is a one-time purchase that unlocks your full report with detailed query-by-query breakdown, competitor analysis, prioritized action plan, and six categories of copy-paste deliverables tailored to your business.
What is the Done-for-You service?
