5 Prompts to Test If Your Website Is AI Ready

The New Search Reality
Search isn’t what it used to be.
Potential clients aren’t just typing into Google anymore—they’re asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Bing Copilot, and a dozen other AI tools.
If your site doesn’t show up in those answers, you’re invisible. Not because you’re bad at what you do, but because vague content doesn’t get pulled into AI responses.
Your website isn’t just competing for clicks anymore. It’s competing for citations inside AI-generated answers. And if you’re not showing up there, you’re not showing up at all.
Quick Note on Naming: GEO, AEO, and AI SEO
Marketers love a good acronym, and right now there are a few floating around. The dust hasn’t settled yet, so you’ll see these used interchangeably:
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
The term you’ll hear most often. GEO is about making your content clear and specific enough that generative engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Bing Copilot actually cite it in their answers. Think of it as SEO for the AI era.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
This one’s about direct answers. AEO focuses on structuring content so AI tools (and Google snippets) can lift it word-for-word. FAQs, “how to choose” guides, and clearly written Q&As all fit here.
AI SEO (a.k.a. AIO)
A broader umbrella term that includes both GEO and AEO. It’s about optimizing your content not just for people and Google, but for the AI systems that interpret your site before surfacing it.
Other terms you might see…
LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization): academic-sounding, but basically means the same thing—optimizing for how LLMs process info.
AIVO (AI Visibility Optimization): an experimental term that frames all of this as boosting “visibility” in AI search.
Bottom line: Whether you call it GEO, AEO, or AI SEO, the goal is the same—make your content specific, scannable, and solution-focused so humans and AI can find you.
5 Prompts to Test Your Website
Here are five quick tests you can run right now. Open ChatGPT (or your AI tool of choice), type these in, and see how your website shows up:
Prompt 1: Can AI explain what I do in one sentence?
What to look for: If ChatGPT can’t clearly say who you are, what you do, and who you serve, neither can your site visitors.
Fix it: Make your homepage and About section spell this out in plain language—no buzzwords, no guessing.
Prompt 2: If someone wanted to hire me, would they know how?
What to look for: Does AI find your booking link, services page, or next steps? If not, it means real clients can’t either.
Fix it: Put a clear call-to-action front and center. Don’t hide it in metaphors or long scrolls.
Prompt 3: Can AI name the problems I actually solve?
What to look for: If the answer is vague (e.g., “supports business owners”), your content isn’t tied to real-world pain points.
Fix it: Use examples that connect your service to outcomes—“saves consultants 5+ hours a week” lands harder than “streamlines operations.”
Prompt 4: Are common pre-hire questions already answered on my site?
What to look for: Things like “What should I ask before hiring a VA/OBM?” or “How do I compare providers?” If AI can’t pull your answers, it means you haven’t built trust yet.
Fix it: Add FAQs, comparison guides, or a “How to Choose” blog post. It shows authority and makes decision-making easier.
Prompt 5: Does my content link my work to specific results?
What to look for: AI should connect you directly to outcomes—time saved, stress reduced, revenue gained. If it doesn’t, you’re too generic.
Fix it: Swap big promises (“make your life easier”) for measurable ones (“cut your admin hours in half”).
The Takeaway
Whether we end up calling it GEO, AEO, or just AI SEO, the point is the same: your site needs to be scannable, specific, and solution-focused if you want to show up in the new search era.
Run these prompts against your own site, and you’ll know in five minutes if you’re AI ready—or if your content is leaving clients (and AI engines) guessing.
