GeoTest: Affiliate program
Earn 30% recurring for every customer you refer
Agencies, consultants and publishers who already talk to site owners about AI visibility: send them to GeoTest and get paid on every invoice they pay.
How the program works
- 30% of every paid invoice from customers you refer, for as long as they stay subscribed.
- Referrals are attributed for 60 days from the first click on your link.
- Commissions are approved 30 days after each invoice and paid out once your balance reaches $50.
- Applications are reviewed by a person. You do not need a paid GeoTest plan to take part.

AI search in figures
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is a method for structuring a website so AI answer engines can read, trust and cite it. A citation is defined as a link to your page inside an AI answer, and the GEO Score refers to a 0 to 100 rating of how ready a page is to earn one. These published figures show why it matters; the reasoning behind every weight is in the methodology.
How much do AI summaries reduce clicks?
AI summaries cut clicks by about half: Pew Research Center found searchers clicked a result 8% of the time when an AI summary appeared, versus 15% without one, a 47% drop (July 2025).
How common are zero-click searches in 2025?
Zero-click searches rose from 56% to 69% between May 2024 and May 2025, and 83% of searches end without a click when AI Overviews show, according to Similarweb (2025).
What share of websites are ready for AI search?
Very few websites are ready: only 2% of the 537 sites in the GeoTest benchmark scored 80 or more in September 2026, and the median score was 47.
How much search traffic are publishers losing?
Publishers are losing about a third of their Google referrals: across 2,500+ publisher websites, Google search referral traffic was down 33% globally and 38% in the US year over year as of early 2026 (Chartbeat).
How many buyers research with AI chatbots in 2026?
71% of B2B software buyers rely on AI chatbots for software research (G2, 2026), which is why being cited matters as much as ranking. See what GEO is.

How much does the GeoTest affiliate program pay?
Affiliates earn 30% recurring commission on every paid invoice from a customer they refer, for as long as that customer keeps paying.
How long does a referral stay attributed to me?
A referral is attributed for 60 days on a first-touch basis: the first affiliate link a visitor used is the one that counts, and a later link never overwrites it.
When are commissions paid?
A commission can be approved once the paid invoice is 30 days old, which covers the refund window. Payouts include every affiliate whose approved balance reaches $50, by PayPal or bank transfer.
