# Causabi

> Causabi (from Latin causa — reason) is a GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform. We make businesses visible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other AI search engines. Be the reason AI recommends you.

Causabi analyzes any website and generates the files AI search engines need to understand, cite and recommend your business: llms.txt, FAQPage JSON-LD schema, robots.txt with AI crawler rules, Schema.org markup, and an AI Readiness Score 0–100. Open source core (MIT), available as SaaS at causabi.com and as a CLI package `causabi-geo` on PyPI.

## What Causabi does

- **AI Readiness Score** — scans your site across 6 dimensions (robots.txt, schema.org, FAQ schema, content depth, brand signals, freshness, llms.txt) and returns a score 0–100 with actionable fix recommendations
- **GEO File Generation** — one click generates llms.txt, FAQPage JSON-LD, Schema.org, robots.txt with AI bot rules, alt texts for images
- **AI Monitoring** — weekly checks in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Grok: is your business mentioned, at what position, who are the competitors nearby
- **Hosted AI Profile** — every analyzed business gets a public profile at causabi.com/b/[slug], already indexed by AI bots
