CookMyRank FAQ

Answers to the questions teams ask most about AI search visibility, generative engine optimization, and how the CookMyRank scanner scores a website.

Getting started

CookMyRank checks whether AI search and answer engines can find, understand, cite, and recommend your website. You enter a domain, the scanner fetches your homepage and key signals, and you get a weighted score from 0 to 100 with concrete fixes for each area it checks.

  • No signup is required to run a first audit.
  • Each audit covers crawlability, structured data, llms.txt, readability, content coverage, and trust signals.
  • Every check returns its own 0–100 score so you can see exactly where you stand.

How the score works

The overall number is the average of every individual check. A check earns a high score when the underlying signal is present and well-formed in the page that AI crawlers actually receive — for example valid JSON-LD schema, an accessible robots.txt, a structured llms.txt file, clear headings, and genuine trust signals. Where a signal is missing or malformed, the audit explains what to add and shows an example you can deploy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CookMyRank?

CookMyRank is an AI visibility, SEO, and GEO platform that audits whether a website can be found, cited, and recommended by AI search engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, then helps you fix the gaps.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing a website so generative AI engines can understand its entities, services, and trust signals and surface them in AI answers. It extends traditional SEO with structured data, LLM-readable content, and llms.txt.

How is the AI visibility score calculated?

The scanner runs several independent checks — crawler access, structured data, llms.txt, content readability, content coverage, and trust signals — and averages each check’s weighted 0–100 result into one overall score.

Which AI platforms does CookMyRank focus on?

CookMyRank is built around visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
