Questions about this rule

Does GEO_PERPLEXITYBOT_ALLOWED affect my score?

Yes. It is an importance 7 rule at SPECIFICATION confidence, so a failure costs 7 × 1 points of impact in the AI Visibility category before that category is normalised to 100.

What does SPECIFICATION confidence mean?

A standard says so: HTML, WCAG, an RFC or Google's own documentation. Confidence is a declared tier rather than a per-rule number, so every rule backed by the same class of evidence carries the same weight - which is what makes the score reproducible instead of hand-tuned.

How do I check GEO_PERPLEXITYBOT_ALLOWED on my own site?
