Best Free GEO Checkers in 2026
GEO tools exploded overnight. Most are thin wrappers. Here’s a practical comparison so you pick the right free checker — and know what “score” actually means.
Quick verdict
- Need a full technical readiness score + fix list: AICompatible
- Want 20+ binary checks (llms.txt, bots, headers): EchoRank-style auditors
- Want “does ChatGPT mention my brand” prompts: GeoIQ-style trackers (often freemium)
Comparison table
| Tool | Free? | What it measures | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AICompatible | Yes | 0–100 overallScore: bots, schema, llms.txt, citation readiness | Actionable audit + public datasets |
| EchoRank GEO Checker | Yes | ~21 binary checks | Checklist completeness |
| GeoIQ | Limited | Prompted AI answers / brand presence | Share-of-voice in LLMs |
| CitedRank GEO audit | Yes | Page extractability / markdown | Dev / content engineers |
| nslookup GEO | Yes | Readiness dimensions + API | Monitoring workflows |
What free tools still miss
Almost nobody publishes original ranked datasets. A score on one URL is a feature; a reproducible industry index is a citeable asset. That’s why we ship the Turkey Media AI Visibility Index — real publishers, real scores.
How to choose in 30 seconds
- Fix technical blockers first (bots, schema, llms.txt) → use a readiness scanner.
- Then measure whether models actually cite you → use a prompt tracker.
- Publish proof (badge / index / methodology) so humans and AIs can trust the claim.
