What is Causabi and what does the name mean?

Causabi is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform that helps businesses appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answers. The name comes from the Latin word causa — meaning reason, cause. The idea: Causabi gives your business the reason AI search engines mention and recommend you.

What is GEO optimization and how does it differ from SEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website for AI search engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Yandex GPT. Unlike traditional SEO (Google rankings), GEO affects whether AI cites your business in its answers. 73% of AI queries end without a click — AI gives the answer directly from your content.

How does Causabi improve ChatGPT visibility?

The tool generates FAQ Schema (gives +41% citation rate increase per Perplexity data), fixes robots.txt so GPTBot and ClaudeBot can crawl your site, creates llms.txt — the standard for direct LLM communication, and adds Schema.org markup for entity recognition in AI.

What is llms.txt and why do I need it?

llms.txt is a new standard (Jeremy Howard, fast.ai, 2024) for sites that want to explicitly explain their structure and content to AI agents. The file is placed at the site root and read by ChatGPT Browse, Claude Tools, Perplexity. As of April 2026, adopted by 12,000+ sites including Anthropic, Cloudflare, Vercel.

How much does Causabi cost?

Currently free in Early Access preview. The free plan includes 1 site, AI Readiness Score, llms.txt generation, Schema.org and robots.txt. Pro plan (after preview launch) includes unlimited sites, weekly ChatGPT/Perplexity monitoring and automatic regeneration.

How fast does the site analysis work?

Full AI audit takes 30–90 seconds. The tool scans up to 8 key pages, checks robots.txt, Schema.org markup, FAQ blocks, content depth and brand signals. Result: Score 0–100 with detailed breakdown and specific fix recommendations.

Do you need access to my CMS or server?

No. Just the URL. You download a ZIP of generated files and upload them yourself — or use the hosted AI profile on causabi.com which AI bots already index.

How long until my business appears in ChatGPT after optimization?

Hosted profile on causabi.com is indexed by AI bots in 1–7 days. Files on your own site take 2–4 weeks depending on ChatGPT and Gemini crawl frequency.

How does AI citation monitoring work?

Once a week we run each of your target queries through ChatGPT and Google AI. We check: is your business mentioned, what position, who are the competitors nearby. All in a dashboard with trend.

Is Causabi open source?

Yes, the core (causabi-geo CLI) is on PyPI under MIT license. pip install causabi-geo — run analysis and generate files locally without signing up.
