Atlas, developed by Outseen, is our own research engine for SEO and GEO. Atlas investigates the public code and technical signals a website returns and tests them against defined checks. For every finding, Atlas records what was found, in which source, on which URL and when. Atlas is an engine, not an AI model: its technical core works without a language model.
What does Atlas investigate?
- the HTML: titles, descriptions, language, headings and link text;
- HTTP responses, robots rules and indexing instructions in code and headers;
- canonicals and what the target page actually returns;
- internal links and language references between the fetched pages;
- supported JSON-LD, such as product and breadcrumb.
What does Atlas not investigate?
Private server code, the original templates of your CMS, content that only appears after JavaScript runs, and the full website beyond the agreed research. A technical check also says nothing about your rankings in Google or about mentions in AI answers.
Example
On Outseen’s own test site, Atlas asked “May this page appear in search results?” and found the value noindex in the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header. Atlas recorded the page, the source and the time of measurement. A specialist then assesses whether that instruction is intended. After a change, Atlas can check the same page again: a recheck.
Who works on it?
A dedicated development team works on Atlas around the clock and follows the official documentation of Google, Bing, OpenAI and Anthropic. That is not a partnership with those companies. Outseen uses AI as a working aid; AI output never counts as evidence. Outseen’s specialists are responsible for advice and execution.
