Ahrefs and Semrush are mainly SEO tools and sell AI visibility as a separate add-on. Scanora covers both in one product. Here is how we compare to specialized GEO tools:

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about AI visibility and SEO

Missing your question? Contact our support.

What is AI Visibility?

AI Visibility, sometimes called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), describes how often and how prominently a website is mentioned or cited in answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overview. Unlike classic SEO, which targets Google rankings, AI Visibility measures your mention rate and the context of your mentions in AI answers. Scanora tracks AI Visibility weekly across multiple platforms and prompt variants.

What is GEO and why does it matter?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization, your website's visibility to AI models like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity. While classic SEO optimizes for Google, GEO makes sure AI models cite your website as a source. Scanora checks llms.txt, structured data, FAQ schema and other signals.

What exactly does Scanora check?

Scanora analyzes your website across three areas: GEO/AI Visibility (llms.txt, Schema.org, FAQ schema), SEO (title, meta, headings, links) and performance (TTFB, FCP, load time). From the Pro plan, Claude AI also generates a full report with concrete fixes.

What's the difference between a website check and an SEO test?

A website check verifies technical basics like load time and reachability. An SEO test goes deeper: title tags, meta descriptions, H1 structure, internal links and keyword density. Scanora does both in a single scan, including AI Visibility.

How long does an audit take?

A full audit usually takes under 60 seconds. The AI report is generated in parallel with the technical analysis.

Is Scanora really free?

The Free plan is free forever and includes 1 audit per month with GEO visibility (AI Visibility), SEO score, performance metrics and audit history. The AI-generated report with concrete fixes is available from the Pro plan (€29/month, 10 audits). Agency costs €99/month (unlimited audits). No hidden trial, cancel anytime.

How can I improve my SEO score quickly?

The most common quick wins: optimize your title tag to 50-60 characters, add meta descriptions on every page, put your main keyword in the H1 tag, and add missing image alt text. After the audit, Scanora shows you exactly which of these are missing on your site, prioritized by impact.

What's the difference between the one-time audit and GEO Automation?

The one-time audit (part of the free Scanora website audit) shows your GEO score at a single point in time, based on technical signals like llms.txt and Schema.org. GEO Automation is a separate subscription starting at €4.99/month that automatically checks weekly whether Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overview actually mention your website in their answers, showing the trend over time instead of a one-off measurement.

Which AI platforms does Scanora's GEO Automation track?

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overview (5 platforms). The Starter plan of GEO Automation (€4.99/month) includes Claude and Gemini; the other three platforms are included from the Pro plan (€74.99/month).

Does Scanora check multiple prompt phrasings per keyword?

Yes, from the Pro plan of GEO Automation onward, each keyword is checked with two prompt variants, "recommendation" and "comparison", since a domain gets mentioned at different rates depending on the type of user query. The Starter plan only uses the recommendation variant.

How is Scanora different from Ahrefs or Semrush?

Scanora combines classic SEO ranking tracking with AI visibility tracking (GEO) in one product at one price, while Ahrefs and Semrush are primarily built for SEO and only offer AI visibility as a separate, more expensive add-on module.
