# KIWA 際 — Digital Studio

> Kiwa (際) is a full-service digital studio: design, build and growth from one senior team. Based in Malta, working worldwide. Premise: great work happens at the edge.

Kiwa designs, builds and grows digital products end to end — brand and UI/UX, hand-built front ends with zero front-end frameworks, and growth including SEO/AEO and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) that makes sites citable by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews).

## Core

- [Free GEO Score tool](https://kiwastudio.com/geo/score/): Paste any URL and get an instant GEO score out of 100, with the reasoning behind all 21 checks. Deterministic — no LLM scores the page. Also answers: what is a GEO score, how is it calculated, what is a good GEO score.
