The Take

The Potatometer nails a fun, focused angle: deterministic SEO checks plus an explicit 'GEO / AI visibility' score and support for modern signals like llms.txt and schema detection. The site promises instant, prioritized fixes (code snippets and time estimates) and a playful 'Potato Scale' that actually helps frame results for non-SEO folks. That said, the real value will hinge on how accurately its checks map to actual LLM citation behavior — the landing page shows confidence but stops short of proof or case studies.

Post Description

Most SEO tools only check for Google. But a growing chunk of search is now happening inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI engines, and the signals they use to surface content are different. Potatometer runs multiple checks across both traditional SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) factors and gives you a score with specific recommendations. Free, no login needed. Curious if others have been thinking about this problem and what signals you think matter most for AI visibility.
