SEO Scoring

The SEO score that actually tells you what to fix.

GazeSEO grades any URL or draft for SEO, GEO, and AEO in seconds, then hands you a prioritized, plain-language list of the fixes that will move the score. No opaque numbers, no generic advice.

Every score comes with the reason and the fix

Most SEO scores are vanity metrics.

A 72 out of 100 doesn’t tell you anything on its own. Neither does a green “A” badge. If the score doesn’t explain what’s weighing it down, and exactly how to fix it, it’s a vanity metric, not a tool.

Vanity score · No reason, no fix

A number you can't act on.

72 out of 100. A green “A” badge. Nothing tells you why, or what to do next.

GazeSEO scoring is built around the opposite principle: every point in the score is attached to a specific, actionable gap in the content. You see the number, the reason, and the fix in the same view.

See the score. See the reason. See the fix. Ship the change.

Five scores. One page, one sitting.

GazeSEO grades every URL or draft against five scoring layers, each tied to a different search surface or quality concern.

01
SEO
94 / 100

SEO score

Classic on-page SEO: keyword placement, topical depth, heading structure, readability, meta tags, internal and external links, image optimization, and alignment with the pages currently ranking on Google for your target query.

02
GEO
89 / 100

GEO score

Generative Engine Optimization: how citable, specific, and well-structured your content is for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Rewards factual density, passage-level clarity, and formatting generative models prefer.

03
AEO
86 / 100

AEO score

Answer Engine Optimization: how well the page wins direct answers in Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and answer engines. Measures tight definitions, entity alignment, and schema-friendly structure.

04
Voice
92 / 100

Brand Voice score

Checks the content against your Brand Voice profile and flags banned phrases, off-tone sections, voice drift, and missing required claims.

05
Grounded
12 of 14 grounded

Factual Grounding score

Runs every claim against your Knowledge Base. Surfaces the statements that can’t be grounded in your own documents so you can correct, cite, or remove them.

How scoring works in GazeSEO.

From a pasted URL to a publish-ready page, with the reason and fix shown in the same view as the number.

  1. STEP 01

    Drop in a page

    Paste a URL, paste a draft, or upload a file. No account needed for a single check.

  2. STEP 02

    Live grade

    GazeSEO fetches the page, runs SERP and AI-search analysis, and grades across all five layers.

  3. STEP 03

    Plain-language reasons

    “Intro missing primary keyword.” “Answer is too vague.” “3 entities the SERP covers are absent.”

  4. STEP 04

    One-click fixes

    Apply suggestions individually, or hit Auto-Optimize to apply the prioritized list in bulk.

  5. STEP 05

    Re-score & ship

    Re-score to confirm the lift. Publish with confidence, no more guessing.

What each score actually measures.

Every layer is composed of named, weighted subscores. No black boxes. Every point traces back to a specific signal.

SEO

Keyword placement, topical coverage, internal links, readability, heading structure, meta, schema, image alt, and competitive delta vs the top of the SERP.

GEO

Factual specificity, citation friendliness, passage-level clarity, entity coverage, formatting preferred by generative engines, and live AI-citation signals.

AEO

Answer tightness, question-to-answer proximity, schema coverage, entity linking, and featured-snippet fit.

Brand Voice

Tone match, vocabulary compliance, banned-phrase checks, required-claim presence, voice drift across long-form.

Factual Grounding

Claim-level verification against your Knowledge Base. Unsupported claims flagged, not hidden.

Where teams use GazeSEO SEO Scoring.

From last-mile QA before publish to scaled content audits: five workflows teams run on the same engine.

Featured · Workflow

QA before every publish

Run the final draft through scoring before it goes to the CMS. Catch the missing entities, weak intro, or off-tone section before your audience does.

Featured · Workflow

Content audits at scale

Feed GazeSEO a CSV of your top 100 URLs. Get a ranked list of which pages are decaying, which are one fix away from a win, and which are holding the site back.

Workflow

Refresh prioritization

Decide which old posts to refresh and which to leave alone. GazeSEO’s scoring makes the case objectively, so you’re no longer guessing.

Workflow

Agency deliverables

Hand clients an “SEO + GEO + AEO” scorecard for every page you ship: a clear, defensible artifact that proves the work.

Workflow

Writer and freelancer QA

Require every contributor to pass a scoring threshold before handing a draft to your editor. Stop editing drafts that should never have been submitted.

How to improve your SEO score, for real.

A good SEO scoring tool should end with a change, not a chart. Here’s how to get from a low score to a shippable page.

01

Fix the highest-impact issue first

GazeSEO sorts every gap by predicted score lift, so you spend effort where it moves the needle.

02

Apply suggestions in your voice

Every rewrite respects your Brand Voice profile and pulls facts from your Knowledge Base, no generic AI text slips through.

03

Strengthen answers for AEO

Tight definitions at the top of every section win featured snippets and AI Overviews.

04

Add missing entities

GazeSEO shows exactly which concepts the top ranking pages cover and yours doesn’t.

05

Restructure for GEO

Break dense paragraphs into passage-level chunks generative engines can lift and cite.

06

Re-score and ship

Ship when all five scores clear your threshold. Most pages clear in a single Auto-Optimize pass.

A score is the first 10%. The platform does the other 90%.

Every score comes with the reason and the fix (across SEO, GEO, AEO, Voice, and Grounded) inside the same editor where the content gets written.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about scoring, target ranges, scoring competitors, and how this differs from SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Moz audits.

An SEO score is a number that reflects how well a page is optimized for search visibility. GazeSEO reports five scores (SEO, GEO, AEO, Brand Voice, and Factual Grounding) because ranking on Google, getting cited in AI search, and staying on-brand are different quality concerns that each need their own measurement.
