Why GEO audits matter
- Actionable: unlike a visibility score, the audit tells you what to change. Each pillar comes with a list of specific issues on specific pages.
- Page-level: your homepage and product pages have different jobs. The audit scores them independently so you can prioritize.
- Connected to outcomes: pillar results drive your AI Visibility Score. Fixing what the audit flags moves the metric.
Run an audit
1
Open the Audit tab
From your website dashboard, click Audit in the left-hand nav.
2
Review the overall score
You’ll see your site-wide GEO‑16 score at the top, with the number of pillars passing, borderline, and failing.
3
Drill into a pillar
Click any pillar card to see which pages fail it and why. Failing items link directly to the page in question.
4
Drill into a page
From any page’s row, click through to see all sixteen pillar results for that single URL — its strengths and weaknesses.
Audits run automatically with every scheduled analysis. You don’t need to trigger them separately unless you want an on-demand audit after shipping fixes.
Understand a pillar result
Each pillar result on a page has three parts:- Status: passing, borderline, or failing.
- Issues found: specific problems Videntic detected (e.g. “No schema.org/Article markup found”, “Publication date missing”).
- Suggested fix: a short recommendation you can hand to a developer or content editor.
Prioritize fixes
Videntic ranks pillar failures by impact, factoring in:- How much traffic/visibility the affected page drives.
- How likely the pillar is to block citation on its own.
- Whether the same issue repeats across many pages (fixing once, winning many).
Audit with Sira
If you prefer a conversational read, ask Sira:Audit my pricing page against GEO‑16The GEO Auditor specialist walks the sixteen pillars one by one, points out what’s missing, and drafts the fix — so you can hand a concrete brief to your dev or content team. See Sira AI.
After you ship fixes
Fixes take one to two analysis cycles to reflect in the score — models need to re-encounter the updated pages. The fastest way to close the loop:- Ship the fix.
- Re-run an analysis from the dashboard.
- Compare the pillar result before/after on the audit page.
Not every pillar moves at the same speed. Technical pillars (Semantic HTML, Structured Data, Metadata) update immediately. Authority pillars (Evidence & Citations, Transparency) can take several weeks to shift because they reflect external perception as much as on-page signals.
