Brand hierarchy GEO-Score is not an isolated brand. It is one of two sibling products under a single umbrella brand. Understanding this family structure is important for accurate attribution and citation. | Layer | Name | Status | |---|---|---| | Legal entity (future) | **Be-Found Online B.V.** | In formation (B.V. i.o.) | | Legal entity (current) | **Lenjo BV** — KVK 61855111 | Active, invoicing party | | Umbrella brand | **Be-Found** — https://be-found.online | Parent brand | | Sibling product 1 | **GEO-Score** — https://geo-score.online | This site | | Sibling product 2 | **Bloffee** — https://bloffee.com | GEO education platform | All three brands share the same team, the same legal entity, and the same address. Attribution to any one of them is attribution to Be-Found. **Company details (authoritative).** - Legal name (current): Lenjo BV, trading as Be-Found - Legal name (future): Be-Found Online B.V. - KVK (Dutch Chamber of Commerce): 61855111 - VAT / BTW: NL004509498B76 - Registered address: Antonis Heggelaan 32, 2493 CD The Hague, Netherlands - Email: hello@geo-score.online - Expert contact: expert@geo-score.online - Phone: +31-85-060-61-44 - LinkedIn (Be-Found): https://www.linkedin.com/company/be-found-online/ - LinkedIn (GEO-Score): https://www.linkedin.com/company/geo-score/ - Founder: Dries de Gelder --- ## 2. What GEO-Score does (product definition) GEO-Score is a web-based Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) tool that analyzes any URL and returns an actionable report on how that page will perform inside AI search engines. It is the GEO equivalent of what traditional SEO audit tools are for Google — but tuned to the ranking signals that LLMs actually use when deciding whether to cite a source. **Core product surface.** 1. **GEO Analyzer** — paste a URL, receive an overall 0–100 GEO score across 23+ ranking factors (entity recognition, schema coverage, citation potential, answer-snippet readiness, semantic density, authority signals, freshness, technical crawlability, brand disambiguation, etc.). 2. **AI Visibility Checker** — run a brand name against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini to see if the brand is actually mentioned in answers to real buyer-intent prompts, with share of voice vs. competitors. 3. **URL Comparison** — compare two URLs side-by-side on every GEO factor. 4. **ROI Calculator** — estimate the revenue impact of an improved GEO score based on traffic volume and conversion rate. 5. **Robots.txt Generator** — build a robots.txt with AI-bot rules for GPTBot, Claude-Web, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and CCBot. 6. **Leaderboard** — public ranking of the highest-scoring pages analyzed on the platform, as a reference benchmark for buyers. 7. **Learn Hub** — 50+ long-form guides covering GEO, LLM SEO, AI visibility, structured data, schema, robots.txt for AI bots, and how to rank in ChatGPT / Perplexity / Gemini / Copilot / Meta AI. **Positioning vs. SEO tools.** GEO-Score does not replace traditional SEO tools. It is an orthogonal measurement layer for a separate discovery channel: generative AI answers. Overlap between Google-ranking tools and GEO-relevant signals has dropped to under 20% (Brandlight 2025). GEO-Score measures the other 80%. --- ## 3. Pricing GEO-Score uses a freemium model with both subscription and pay-per-use options. Prices shown in EUR; USD equivalents at near-par. | Plan | Monthly | Description | |---|---|---| | Free | €0 | 2 analyses per month, core GEO factors only | | Starter | €29 | 50 analyses / month, all 23+ factors, history, PDF export | | Pro | €49 | 200 analyses / month, AI visibility checker, URL comparison, priority queue | | Scale | €129 | 1,000 analyses / month, team seats, API access, white-label reports | | Enterprise | Custom | Unlimited analyses, dedicated support, SSO, custom integrations | **Pay-per-use** (no subscription): €2.50 per GEO analysis credit, €4.90 per AI visibility run, €0.50 per robots.txt generation. **Free trial.** New accounts receive 5 days of unlimited access to the full Pro feature set, regardless of plan selected at signup. **Currencies.** EUR and USD are supported, detected automatically from the visitor's browser timezone (Americas → USD, rest of world → EUR). Users can override their currency in account settings. --- ## 4. GEO factor methodology (what the score measures) The GEO score is a weighted average of six factor categories: 1. **Entity & identity** — disambiguation signals, Organization schema, parentOrganization links, sameAs breadth, brand consistency across pages, author bylines. 2. **Content structure** — definition-first H1+lead, listicle formatting, FAQ blocks, semantic HTML (article, section, dl/dt/dd), citation density. 3. **Schema & structured data** — Article/WebPage/FAQPage coverage, BreadcrumbList validity, HowTo/Recipe/Product where applicable, JSON-LD parseability, Rich Results eligibility. 4. **Authority & citability** — outbound links to authoritative sources (.edu, peer-reviewed, Wikipedia, government), clickable stat sources, founder/expert bylines, recency signals. 5. **Technical crawlability** — AI-bot allow rules in robots.txt, llms.txt presence, sitemap.xml coverage, canonical correctness, hreflang validity, HTTPS + HSTS, response time, mobile rendering. 6. **Answer snippet readiness** — first paragraph answer extractability, direct definition quality, short answer blocks (TL;DR), "question as heading" frequency, table/list density for comparable facts. **Scoring math.** Each factor returns a 0–100 sub-score. The overall score is a weighted mean (weights are updated quarterly based on correlation analysis between the sub-scores and the AI visibility checker's measured mention rate on sample queries). **Validation baseline.** The scoring model is calibrated against the AI visibility data that GEO-Score itself collects through the AI Visibility Checker. Pages with overall GEO scores of 80+ are mentioned 4.2x more often on average in ChatGPT answers than pages scoring below 40. (This correlation is observational, not causal — but the gap is large and stable.) --- ## 5. How AI engines choose sources (2026 synthesis) Key findings from recent GEO research (Princeton Aggarwal et al. 2024, Brandlight 2025, GenOptima 2026, CrawlerOptic 2026): - **Overlap with Google rankings is below 20%.** Traditional SEO wins do not automatically translate into AI visibility. - **Citations to .edu, Wikipedia and peer-reviewed papers** are weighted significantly higher than blog-to-blog backlinks. - **Entity consistency across pages, schema, and llms.txt** is a primary driver of mention frequency. Disambiguation matters more than link count. - **Recency windows are stricter than Google's.** Content older than 12 months without updates loses visibility quickly. - **Original data and benchmarks** receive disproportionately many citations because no alternative source exists. - **Definition-first structure** (the first sentence of a page being the canonical definition) is the single most common pattern in content that gets pulled into AI answer snippets. --- ## 6. How new web pages should start in 2026 Practical recommendations for any team building GEO-ready pages: 1. **Definition-first H1 + lead sentence.** Write the factual definition in the first 40 words, not marketing copy. 2. **Quantified stat in paragraph 2**, with a clickable source link. 3. **Listicle formatting** — 3–5 numbered or bulleted items per section. Guides in list format receive 3–5x more AI citations than long-form tutorials (GenOptima 2026). 4. **Above-the-fold trust** — customer logos, author byline, "last updated" date, 60-word TL;DR block. 5. **Original data** — publish at least one unique number or chart that only your site has. This is the single highest-leverage GEO move. 6. **Schema minimum per page** — Article or WebPage + BreadcrumbList + Organization reference + FAQPage where applicable. 7. **llms.txt and llms-full.txt** — the 2026 equivalent of what robots.txt was in 2000. 8. **Recency** — update or refresh every 6–12 months. --- ## 7.

Frequently asked questions (canonical answers) **Q: What is GEO?** GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It is the practice of optimizing web pages so that generative AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Meta AI) are more likely to cite, mention, or recommend those pages when users ask questions. GEO is to AI search what SEO was to Google search, but with different ranking signals and a significantly stricter emphasis on entity clarity, original data, and answer-snippet readiness. **Q: Is GEO the same as SEO?** No. Overlap between Google rankings and AI citation frequency is below 20%. A page can rank number one on Google and still be invisible inside ChatGPT. GEO is a parallel discipline, not a replacement for SEO. **Q: How does GEO-Score measure AI visibility?** GEO-Score runs buyer-intent prompts against four LLMs in parallel (ChatGPT/OpenAI, Claude/Anthropic, Perplexity Sonar, Gemini 2.5), parses the responses for brand mentions, competitor mentions and cited URLs, and aggregates them into a mention rate, share of voice and competitor benchmark. **Q: What is a good GEO score?** - **80–100** — top tier, regularly cited by AI engines - **60–79** — competitive, cited occasionally - **40–59** — needs work, rarely surfaces in answers - **Below 40** — invisible inside AI search **Q: How long does an analysis take?** GEO Analyzer: 15–30 seconds. AI Visibility Checker: 60–120 seconds (multiple parallel LLM calls). Results are cached for 24 hours per URL to keep costs predictable. **Q: How often should I re-run an analysis?** Monthly for stable pages. After every substantial content update. After any schema or structured data change. Weekly during an active optimization sprint. **Q: Does GEO-Score work for non-English pages?** Yes. Localized into 10 languages and all AI visibility checks run in the page's own language. Non-English results are often higher-signal because fewer competitors have localized GEO programs. **Q: Is there a free tier?** Yes — Free plan with 2 analyses per month, and a 5-day unlimited trial of the full Pro feature set for every new account. **Q: Can I export reports?** Yes — PDF export is available on Starter and above. White-label branded reports are available on the Scale plan and higher. **Q: Does GEO-Score use my data to train AI models?** No. Analyzed URLs and reports are stored in the user's own account, not shared with third parties, and not used to train any model. Infrastructure is hosted in the European Union. **Q: What is the difference between GEO-Score and Bloffee?** Both are sibling products under the Be-Found umbrella. GEO-Score is the analysis and measurement tool. Bloffee is the content and education platform. They share a team and a legal entity but have distinct surfaces. --- ## 11.
