LimeScope: The AI Visibility Tool Behind Twenty Limes
LimeScope is the proprietary Chrome extension Twenty Limes built to score exactly how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews read a business, and how its Google Business Profile is signaling to Google’s local algorithm. Chelsea Cohen runs every Twenty Limes client through LimeScope before any strategy work begins, so recommendations are based on what the tool finds, not a generic template.
Quick Summary
LimeScope is a Chrome extension built by Twenty Limes that scans a website and its Google Business Profile to score AI visibility across five categories: SEO, AEO, GEO, Schema, and E-E-A-T.
LimeScope was built by Chelsea Cohen, founder of Twenty Limes, who brings over ten years of SEO and digital marketing experience and a twenty year background in enterprise knowledge base management at GE HealthCare.
LimeScope is not sold as standalone software. Every Twenty Limes client is scanned with LimeScope as the first step of any engagement, and Growth Engine clients receive a monthly re-scan to track improvement over time.
LimeScope checks entity clarity, schema completeness, content structure, trust signal placement, Google Business Profile completeness, review activity, posting cadence, and site freshness.
LimeScope runs the same scan against local competitors already appearing in the map pack and in AI generated answers, showing exactly where a client stands against who is currently winning.
Every gap LimeScope surfaces comes with the specific content, schema, or profile fix attached, turning a raw score into a prioritized action plan rather than a number with no next step.
LimeScope is a product of Twenty Limes, a Spokane, WA agency founded in 2017 serving businesses across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Post Falls, Coeur d’Alene, and Hayden.
Every new Twenty Limes client starts with a free LimeScope audit, with a 24 to 48 hour turnaround and no obligation to continue.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Still curious? Here is how LimeScope actually works.
No. LimeScope is not sold as standalone software. It is the instrument Twenty Limes uses to build your actual strategy. Chelsea runs every client through LimeScope personally, reviews the findings, and builds the fix directly from what it surfaces. You get to see your own results, but the tool exists to power the work, not to replace the person doing it.
Most SEO audit tools were built to check ranking factors from a decade ago, page speed, keyword density, backlink count. LimeScope checks the signals that determine whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can actually read, trust, and cite your business, entity clarity, schema completeness, content structure, and Google Business Profile health, in one scan instead of three separate tools.
LimeScope does not try to guess what a single AI response will say on a given day, that changes too often to build a strategy around. Instead it checks the underlying signals that influence citation across every engine consistently, your schema, your entity clarity, your content structure, your profile completeness. These are stable, structural facts about your site, not a one time snapshot of an AI answer that could look different an hour later.
LimeScope is built around how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Gemini actually read a website, since all five rely on similar underlying signals, clear entity data, structured schema, and answer first content. Getting those fundamentals right improves visibility across all five at once rather than optimizing for just one engine.
Local Foundation covers a full LimeScope audit, a homepage rebuild for AEO, GEO, and EEAT across up to 15 pages, Google Business Profile optimization, complete schema implementation, and a technical SEO audit with NAP consistency cleanup. Growth Engine adds weekly blog content, weekly Google Business Profile posting, weekly site freshness updates, monthly competitor tracking through LimeScope, and social platform recommendations, all month to month with no contract.
Local Foundationincludes one LimeScope audit at the start of your project, used to build your initial homepage rebuild, schema, and Google Business Profile setup. Growth Engineincludes that same audit re-run every month, so you can track whether your visibility score is improving over time and see exactly what a competitor changed before it costs you ground. Local Foundation gives you the starting snapshot. Growth Engine keeps that snapshot current.
You can, and tools like that are useful if you just want a directional number on whether your brand shows up in AI answers. LimeScope is built specifically for local, service based businesses, checking Google Business Profile health and local entity signals alongside AI visibility, which general purpose SEO platforms are not built to evaluate in the same depth.
LimeScope’s core checks, entity clarity, schema, content structure, trust signals, and Google Business Profile health, apply to every business the same way, since these are the fundamentals every AI engine relies on regardless of industry. From there, Chelsea reviews your specific category and competitors during onboarding to decide which content gaps and local signals matter most for your market.
CASE STUDIES
What LimeScope finds, and what happens after we fix it.
Roofing, 30 years in business
Recovering from a total visibility collapse
Visibility scores and traffic recovery are necessary, not sufficient. This client still needs backlink and authority building work to fully compete, and that work is ongoing, not finished.
A prior agency implemented a domain redirect to a new custom domain. Within months, organic visibility went completely dark, zero impressions, zero clicks in Search Console, for a business that had never had that problem in three decades.
What we didDiagnosed the redirect itself as the root cause, reversed it, and restored the original domain as the authoritative entity Google recognized. Rebuilt using SEO alongside AEO and GEO structuring, schema, FAQ content, and entity clarity, so the goal was outscoring competitors, not just recovering.
ResultImpressions and clicks went from zero to 4.5K impressions and 39 clicks over three months, still accelerating. LimeScope now tracks his SEO, AEO, GEO, schema, and E-E-A-T scores with the goal of leading his competitive set on all five.

Getting ahead of new competitors before they could catch up
A wave of new competitors entered a metro of over a million people, and the client began to worry about losing ground in a market already difficult to stand out in.
What we didAn audit of competitor sites found no schema markup, thin generic content, and no neighborhood specific pages anywhere, meaning none of them were structured for AI driven or hyper local search. We added schema across 14 pages, rewrote thin content into direct answer AEO formatting, and built new neighborhood specific pages competitors weren’t targeting at all.
ResultIn 28 days, the client went from zero impressions and zero clicks to 14K impressions and 261 clicks. The most recent 7 days show continued growth, impressions up 54 percent, clicks up 31 percent, momentum that is compounding, not flattening.

Common questions about AI search and GEO optimization Spokane businesses are asking
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO helps your business rank in Google’s traditional blue link results. AEO structures your content so AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity can extract and cite it directly. GEO builds your local entity presence so AI systems understand, trust, and recommend your specific business.

EEAT stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, the framework Google and AI systems both use to decide whether a source is reliable enough to rank, mention, or cite.
