# GEO audit

> Score any page on your site against the GEO‑16 framework and get targeted fixes.

The GEO audit is Videntic's diagnostic for *why* a page isn't getting cited. Every page on your tracked website is scored against the sixteen pillars of the GEO‑16 framework, with specific, actionable issues flagged for each pillar.

## 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](/metrics/ai-visibility-score). Fixing what the audit flags moves the metric.

## Run an audit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Audit tab">
    From your website dashboard, click **Audit** in the left-hand nav.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  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.

Some pillars — like Authority & Trust — will flag site-wide issues (e.g. *"No About page found"*) that apply to every page. Others, like Structured Data, are per-page.

## 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).

Your audit shows a **Top 5 fixes** card on the dashboard — the highest-leverage improvements across the whole site. Start there.

## Audit with Sira

If you prefer a conversational read, ask Sira:

> *Audit my pricing page against GEO‑16*

The **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](/features/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:

1. Ship the fix.
2. Re-run an analysis from the dashboard.
3. Compare the pillar result before/after on the audit page.

<Note>
  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.
