GEO Testing

Tools

GEO Testing helps you measure the real impact of your SEO and content changes on AI visibility. Instead of guessing whether your optimizations made a difference, run structured experiments and see the data. Available on Scale plans and above.

What it does

  • Runs time-based tests that compare the same URL group's performance before and after a change date
  • Runs split tests that compare a test group against a control group for more reliable results
  • Tracks citations (how often your URLs appear as AI sources) and unique cited URLs per group
  • Provides 6 analysis tabs: Overview, By AI Model, By Prompt, Top Sources, AI Traffic, and AI Analysis
  • Generates AI-powered analysis that interprets your test results and provides actionable insights
  • Automatically creates annotations on change dates for visual correlation on charts

How to use it

  1. Navigate to GEO Testing in the sidebar (under Tools)
  2. Create URL Groups first — named collections of URLs you want to track as a cohort
  3. Add URLs to each group (paste one per line, up to 100 at a time)
  4. Click New Test and choose your test type:
    • Time-based: select one URL group + a change date. LLM Pulse compares before vs. after
    • Split test: select a test group + a control group. External factors affect both equally, giving you a cleaner signal
  5. Monitor results across the 6 tabs as data accumulates
  6. Use the AI Analysis tab to get an AI-generated interpretation of your results

URL Groups

URL Groups are the foundation of GEO Testing. A URL group is simply a named collection of URLs that you want to track together.

  • Give each group a name, optional description, and optional color for chart identification
  • LLM Pulse automatically normalizes URLs (removes tracking parameters, trailing slashes) and deduplicates
  • For split tests, make your test and control groups as similar as possible (same template, similar traffic levels)
  • You can create as many groups as you need

Tips & notes

  • Available on Scale plans and above
  • Time-based tests are best for: title tag changes, meta description updates, content rewrites, schema markup additions
  • Split tests are best for: large-scale template changes, new content strategies, structural site changes
  • Annotations are created automatically when you set a change date, making it easy to correlate changes with performance shifts
  • The AI Analysis feature uses your actual test data to generate insights — it's not generic advice
  • Results improve with more data points, so let tests run for at least 2-3 weeks before drawing conclusions
