SEO
Will it rank?
16 checks on the basics search engines still reward: a title that won't get truncated, a real meta description, a sensible heading structure, keyphrase placement, links, alt text, a clean slug and an indexable page.
WordPress plugin · v1.0.1
Two scores for every post. One for search engines, one for answer engines.
SEO GEO Score reads each post and grades it out of 100 twice: for ranking in search, and for getting quoted by AI answer engines. It then tells you the five fixes that would move the numbers most.

GEO
Will it be quoted?
Generative Engine Optimization: 14 checks on what makes a page easy for AI answer engines to lift and cite. That means question-style headings, short direct answers, a summary block, concrete numbers, an FAQ, real sources and a credible author.
How the score works
Weighted, explainable, and the same every time.
There's no black box. Every check has a weight. A pass earns the full weight, a warning earns half and a fail earns nothing. The score is what you earned as a share of what was possible.
score=
Σ weight × statusΣ weight
× 100
- Pass × 1
- Warning × 0.5
- Fail × 0
A90–100
B75–89
C60–74
D40–59
F0–39
Suggestions are ranked by impact (weight, halved for warnings) across both suites, and the top five are shown tagged SEO or GEO. No keyphrase set? The keyphrase checks show a reminder and the structural checks still produce a meaningful score.
Every check
30 checks, with the weights shown.
Bars show each check's weight within its suite. Developers can change any label or weight with a filter.

Works with your SEO plugin
If Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress or All in One SEO is active, it reads that plugin's meta description, focus keyphrase and noindex flag, so you never enter them twice.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
What is GEO?
Generative Engine Optimization: shaping content so that AI answer engines can understand it, extract it and cite it. In practice that means clear questions with direct answers, scannable chunks, concrete data, real sources and visible authorship.
Does this change my site's output?
No. It only reads content and stores scores in post meta. Nothing is added to the front end.
Do I need a focus keyphrase?
No. Without one, the keyphrase checks are skipped and shown as a reminder, and the structural checks still produce a meaningful score.
Does it replace Yoast, Rank Math or my current SEO plugin?
No, it sits alongside it. When one of those plugins is active, SEO GEO Score reads its meta description, focus keyphrase and noindex flag instead of asking you again.
Where are scores stored?
In post meta (_seogeo_seo_score, _seogeo_geo_score, _seogeo_analysis), plus the focus keyphrase in _seogeo_keyphrase. Scores refresh when a post is saved or when you click "Re-analyze". Everything is removed on uninstall.
Will it slow down a large site?
No. Scores are plain post meta and nothing runs on the front end. The site-wide scan runs from your browser in batches of 15 posts. Keep the tab open until it finishes, or let scores fill in as posts are saved.
Is it safe to deactivate?
Yes. Deactivating doesn't change anything. Deleting the plugin removes its option and all _seogeo_* post meta.
