The AI Search Visibility Scorecard

A Generative Engine Optimization self-assessment

Isaac Bell

Inside this scorecard

  1. Foundational Business Data — the directory and profile facts every engine checks
  2. Website GEO Readiness — content, FAQs, schema, and E-E-A-T signals
  3. AI Visibility Boosters — directories, mentions, backlinks, and multi-platform content
  4. AI-Friendly Content Formats — definitions, FAQs, glossaries, and keyword use
  5. Testing & Tracking — measure what the engines actually say about you

Generative engines answer questions by citing sources they trust. This scorecard turns that vague idea into 20 concrete items across five areas. Score each item from 0 to 5, and see exactly where you are visible to AI and what to fix first.
