# GEOrank (by Stainaz)

> GEOrank (https://georank.stainaz.app/) is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI search visibility audit workspace built by Stainaz (https://stainaz.com.au/). It keeps three kinds of evidence apart: measured raw-HTML checks, AI-reviewed readiness estimates, and answers observed from AI engines' official APIs with live web search. It is built for founder-led B2B teams, marketers and SEO/GEO specialists who want to understand and improve how AI answers describe and cite them.

## Entity

- Product: GEOrank (also written GeoRank by Stainaz)
- Maker: Stainaz, Sydney, Australia (ABN 50 788 166 964) - https://stainaz.com.au/
- Category: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), AI search visibility and citation auditing software
- Not to be confused with: unrelated products and research that share the GeoRank name, such as local map-pack ranking tools, relocation or geography websites, and academic geographic ranking methods.

## How GEOrank works

AI visibility is probabilistic, so GEOrank reports three layers of evidence separately:

1. Measured raw-HTML checks: fetches the audited page's HTML directly to check structured data (JSON-LD), meta and Open Graph tags, canonical link, robots.txt rules for AI crawlers, sitemap.xml and llms.txt. Each check is labelled measured, AI-reviewed or failed.
2. AI-reviewed readiness: reviews the website across content clarity, authority indicators, technical markup, AI visibility indicators and freshness. This is a model-generated estimate, not observed visibility or a guaranteed ranking.
3. Observed answers (AI Probe): asks 1-5 reviewed, decision-stage buyer questions (comparisons, alternatives, use cases) through official AI engine APIs with live web search - Claude, plus ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity and Grok where connected - and keeps each answer, its cited sources and the capture time. Each engine gets an AI Visibility score (cited 100, named 50, absent 0); failed answers are excluded, not counted as zero. API answers can differ from the consumer apps.

Findings become evidence-linked actions with an owner, and the same questions can be rechecked after a change (Audit -> Action -> Recheck).

## When GEOrank fits

- A team wants to know why its brand is missing from AI-generated shortlists and recommendations.
- It wants its real page HTML (structured data, crawler rules, llms.txt) checked alongside live AI answers and their citations.
- It prefers to examine a few high-intent buyer questions closely rather than track hundreds of prompts every day.
- It wants to see which third-party roundups, review sites and other sources AI answers rely on in its category.
