When a relocating family asks ChatGPT, Google or another AI search tool which schools to consider in your city, a shortlist can form before they ever reach your website.
Your school may be on it. Your competitors may be instead.
Many schools have never checked. This checklist is the fastest way to find out where you stand, and where the gaps are.
16 checks across four areas that shape your visibility
Technical SEO
Whether your site gives search engines clear, accessible and indexable information about your school.
AI and answer-engine visibility
The signals that help AI-powered search systems understand your school and surface it in relevant answers.
Local and international search presence
The listings and signals that decide which schools surface first for families in your market.
Reputation and third-party mentions
Whether credible external sources reinforce what your school says about itself.
Each check takes under a minute. Anything you can't tick gives you somewhere to investigate. Not every gap matters equally, but some can directly affect how easily families and search platforms find and understand your school.
Built for admissions and marketing teams, not SEO specialists.
No tools to install, no analytics access needed. If you can open your own website and search for your school, you can complete every check. Written for international and bilingual schools, and equally useful for private schools competing in a local market.

Found some gaps? The next question is which ones matter.
A checklist can show you where to look. It can't tell you which issues are affecting your visibility most, how your school compares with competitors, or what to prioritise first.
That's where the SEO & GEO Audit goes deeper. We analyse your school's search and AI visibility, benchmark it against the schools appearing for the searches that matter in your market, and turn the findings into a prioritised roadmap.
