What each card means
Page Score
The average score of the pages that have been analysed, out of 100. The line underneath says how many pages were analysed. Press the card to open Pages. If nothing has been analysed yet, it shows a dash and "No pages analysed yet".
AI Mention Rate
How often AI engines named your business in your five most recent runs. Each engine that answered counts as one result. The card divides the results that mentioned you by all the results, so 8/10 engine results gives 80%. Press it to open the Runs tab.
Because it only uses the last five runs, it can move quickly. For trends over time, use the GEO Monitor Dashboard. The AI visibility metrics guide explains how mention rate differs from share of voice.
Open Tasks
How many tasks are still open, meaning not archived, approved or done. It says "All clear" when there are none. Press it to open the Work page, covered in Tasks.
Credits
Your credit balance, with the number of active prompts underneath. On the current plans, work your plan covers does not use credits, so this often shows 0. See Plans and credits.
The colours
Page Score and AI Mention Rate change colour with the number. Green means 70 or above, amber means 45 to 69, and red means below 45. Open Tasks shows amber when tasks are waiting and green when everything is clear.
The rest of the page
Page Health
This strip appears once at least one page has been analysed. It shows how many of your pages have been analysed, as a bar and a percentage, and the average score. A red box counts the pages that need attention. On wide screens you also see the average for each area, SEO, Tech, Content, E-E-A-T and GEO. Press View all to open Pages.
Recent Runs
Your five latest AI checks. Each row shows the question that was asked, how long ago it ran and how many engines answered, for example "4/4 engines" and "2 brand mentions". A green badge shows how many engines mentioned you. A red cross means the run failed, and a clock means it is still running. Press View all to see every run.
Quick Actions
Three shortcuts. Run GEO check opens your prompts so you can start a fresh check. Analyse pages opens Pages. View content opens the Content section.
Google Business
Your average star rating across all your locations, with Total reviews and the number of Locations. If you have more than one location, it also names the Lowest-rated one. A red warning appears if any location has a sync error. Press Manage to open Google Business. If no location is set up, the card offers a link to auto-discover one from your website.
Engine Status
A short list of AI engine names, each with a Ready badge. The engines that check your questions depend on your plan, as set out in Plans, allowances and credits.
Common problems
The cards are empty on a new workspace
That's normal for the first few minutes. Your first AI checks need to finish before Recent Runs and AI Mention Rate fill in. Pages appear once they have been analysed.
AI Mention Rate jumped up or down
It only looks at the last five runs, so a single run with different questions can move it a lot. Check the trend on the GEO Monitor Dashboard before reading too much into it.
A location has a sync error
Open Google Business to see which location is affected. The Google Business guide explains each location's status.
