# What does a GEO report look like?

> A worked SAMPLE report for a made-up business, section by section, and where each number would come from on a real account.

Updated September 24, 2026 · AI Syndicate team · https://www.aisyndicate.com/platform/weekly-ai-report/

**Quick answer:** This page shows a **SAMPLE** weekly GEO report for a fictional business, Example Dental Co. Every number in it is made up. A useful report answers five questions: what your AI-readiness score is and what moved, which customer questions name you on which engines, what AI gets wrong about you, which rivals get named instead, and what to fix next.

## What should a weekly GEO report tell you?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the work of getting a business found, trusted and quoted by AI search. A report on it is only useful if it leads to a decision. Five questions do that:

1. **Can AI engines read my site, and did that change?** An AI-readiness score, tracked week to week.
2. **Do AI answers name me for the questions my customers ask?** Per question, per engine.
3. **Is AI saying anything wrong about me?** Hours, prices, services, locations.
4. **Who gets named instead of me?** Rivals, and how often.
5. **What should I fix next?** One ranked list, worst first.

Each section of the sample below maps to a feature our platform actually runs.

## What does a sample weekly report look like?

> **SAMPLE. Made-up numbers for a fictional business.** Example Dental Co. in the made-up town of Exampleton does not exist. None of these figures come from a real account, and none are typical results.

### 1. Headline (SAMPLE)

| Measure | This week | Last week |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AI-readiness score | 70 / 100 | 60 / 100 |
| AI crawlers getting in | 40 of 42 | 38 of 42 |
| Wrong facts found | 2 | 3 |
| Open fixes | 5 (1 marked do first) | 7 |
| Rivals named instead of you | 3 of 10 tracked | 3 of 10 tracked |

### 2. Tracked questions, by engine (SAMPLE)

| Question | ChatGPT | Perplexity | Google AI Overviews | Gemini | Copilot |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| best family dentist in Exampleton | Cited, #2 | Cited, #1 | Not cited | Cited, #3 | Not cited |
| emergency dentist open Saturday Exampleton | Not cited | Cited, #2 | Not cited | Not cited | Cited, #1 |
| is Example Dental Co any good | Cited, #1 | Cited, #1 | Cited, #1 | Cited, #1 | Cited, #1 |

A real run covers 12 engines; the sample shows 5 to fit the page.

### 3. Wrong facts (SAMPLE)

| Engine | What it said | Your verified fact | Severity | Fix |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Engine A | "Closed on Saturdays" | Open Saturday, 9 to 1 | High | Correction drafted |
| Engine B | "Founded in 1901" | Founded in 2001 | Medium | Correction drafted |

### 4. Rivals (SAMPLE)

| Brand | Share of voice |
| --- | --- |
| Rival A | 30% |
| Example Dental Co. | 20% |
| Rival B | 20% |
| Rival C | 10% |
| Nobody named yet | 20% |

### 5. Next fixes, worst first (SAMPLE)

| Priority | Fix | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Do first | Allow the two blocked AI crawlers in robots.txt | A blocked crawler can't read the site at all |
| 2 | Publish Saturday hours on the contact page and in structured data | Fixes the high-severity wrong fact at the source |
| 3 | Add a page answering "emergency dentist on Saturday" | The question where most engines skip you |

## Where does each number come from on a real account?

| Report section | Platform feature | How it is measured |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AI-readiness score | **AI Access** | 30+ checks on every page we can find, rolled into one 0–100 score. A re-scan confirms each fix. |
| Crawlers getting in | AI Access / crawler test | 42 AI crawlers are tested for real, not just read from robots.txt. |
| Tracked questions | **Prompt Simulator** | Each saved question runs on 12 engines. Every answer is labelled live search, model memory or voice reconstruction, with your citation and rank read from the answer itself. |
| Wrong facts | **Hallucination Watch** | Up to 16 checkable questions per run, judged against your verified facts. Opinions are never flagged. Each wrong answer gets a drafted correction. |
| Rivals | **Competitors** | Share of voice counted from real AI answers, for up to 25 rivals you name, including the share nobody holds yet. |
| Next fixes | Fix list | Every finding from every scan in one list, ranked worst first, with steps. |

If you serve local customers, **Local** adds map-pack position on real searches, listings checked on 13 platforms, and name, address and phone conflicts on your own pages.

## How should I read a report like this?

- **Watch the trend, not the week.** AI answers move. OpenAI itself warns that search results and citations "can be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect." [OpenAI Help Center](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/9237897-chatgpt-search) Four weeks of the same questions tell you more than one good Tuesday.
- **Treat "not cited" as useful.** An honest miss tells you which question to work on. A report that never shows a miss isn't measuring much.
- **Keep "unknown" apart from "no".** If an engine failed to answer, that is missing data, not a lost citation.
- **Fix at the source.** A wrong fact is fixed by publishing the correct one where engines read, not by emailing the AI company. See [AI is wrong about your business](/blog/ai-wrong-about-your-business/).
- **Don't expect a special file to fix Google.** Google says no special AI files or markup are needed for its AI features; the pages have to be indexable and worth quoting. [Google Search Central](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ai-features)
