Getting started

Welcome to GEO.actor. This guide walks you through adding your first brand and running your first AI visibility tracking run.

Prerequisites

  • A GEO.actor account (free plan available at /signup)
  • Your brand's website URL
  • Optional: a Gmail account for outreach (Solo plan and above)

Step 1 — Create your account

Go to /signup and enter your email address. You will receive a magic link. Click it to sign in and your account is created automatically.

If your organisation already exists, ask the owner to invite you via Settings → Team.

Step 2 — Add your first brand

After signing in you will land on the onboarding wizard. Enter:

  • Brand name — the name you want tracked in AI answers (e.g. "Acme Corp")
  • Primary domain — your website URL (e.g. https://www.acmecorp.com)
  • Tracking keywords — the queries your customers ask AI engines (e.g. "best project management software for agencies")

The platform immediately starts a site crawl to build your entity graph. This typically completes within a few minutes for sites under 500 pages.

Step 3 — Run your first tracking job

Go to Dashboard → Tracking and click Run now. The platform queries ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews with your tracked prompts.

Your first results appear within 10–15 minutes. You will see:

  • Share of Model — your brand's mention rate across all engines and prompts
  • Citations — which of your pages (if any) were cited
  • Competitor share — how competitors appear for the same prompts

Step 4 — Review the technical audit

Navigate to Technical Audit. The platform checks:

  • JSON-LD structured data validity
  • llms.txt presence and format
  • robots.txt AI crawler policy
  • Crawlability and rendering issues

Each finding includes a severity rating and a remediation guide.

Step 5 — Generate your llms.txt

Go to Tools → llms.txt. The platform generates a draft llms.txt based on your top-ranked pages. Review it, make any edits, and deploy it to your site root.
