About ScanMyGEO

Why We Built This

In 2026, the way people find businesses changed forever. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity now answer questions directly — often without showing traditional search results. For local businesses, this means being invisible to AI is like not existing at all.

We noticed a pattern: most small businesses had no idea whether AI engines mentioned them. They couldn't see their own blind spots. So we built ScanMyGEO — a free tool that runs the same queries your customers ask and checks if AI knows about you.

How It Works

ScanMyGEO scans 10 real Google AI queries specific to your industry and location. We use Gemini with Google Search grounding — the same AI engine that powers Google AI Overviews. Our tool detects whether you're mentioned by name, whether your website is cited, where you appear relative to competitors, and what AI says about you.

You get a 0-100 visibility score with a letter grade (A through F), plus a prioritized action plan. If you want ready-to-implement fixes, our $49 Fix Package generates copy-paste JSON-LD code, FAQ content, meta descriptions, and more — all tailored to your specific business.

The Team Behind ScanMyGEO

ScanMyGEO is built and maintained by Bay Area Systems, a San Francisco-based IT consulting firm serving businesses since 1998. With over 25 years of experience in technology, networking, cybersecurity, and cloud services, we understand what it takes to keep businesses competitive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

We built ScanMyGEO because we saw firsthand how AI search was changing the game for our clients. Traditional SEO still matters, but it's no longer enough. Businesses need to be optimized for AI engines too — and that starts with knowing where you stand.

Our Mission

We believe every local business deserves to be found — by humans and AI alike. Our mission is to make AI visibility accessible, affordable, and actionable. Whether you're a dentist in Denver, a lawyer in Los Angeles, or a restaurant in San Francisco, ScanMyGEO gives you the data you need to compete in the AI era.
