How to use this calculator

1

Enter your current traffic and revenue per visit

Use Google Analytics for monthly traffic. Revenue per visit = total monthly revenue ÷ total visits. For lead-gen sites, use an estimated lead value.

2

Select your industry vertical

This sets the AI traffic share and citation CTR benchmarks from GEO Lab’s leaderboard research. Different verticals have significantly different AI search penetration rates.

3

Set your current and target citation rates

Don’t know your current citation rate? Use the GEO Lab Citation Leaderboard free check to find it. A realistic 12-month target is typically 15–25 percentage points above your current rate.

4

Enter your monthly GEO investment

Include tool subscriptions, content production time (at your hourly rate), and any technical work. The ROI calculation is only useful if this number is honest.

5

Read the assumptions box

The calculator shows its working. Every projection is based on published benchmark data from GEO Lab’s leaderboard research — updated quarterly as new data accumulates.
