Citation selection based on authority + recency **Optimization tactics:** - Strong domain authority matters - Freshness signals critical (update dates) - Direct answers to questions - Being cited by other authoritative sources - Structured data helps parsing ### ChatGPT / SearchGPT **How it works:** Bing-powered search + LLM synthesis **Optimization tactics:** - Bing indexing matters (submit sitemap to Bing) - E-E-A-T signals weighted heavily - Conversational content structure - FAQ format highly effective - Named entities help recognition ### Google AI Overviews **How it works:** Google's index + Gemini synthesis **Optimization tactics:** - Traditional SEO still matters (ranking helps) - Featured snippet optimization - Schema markup (FAQ, HowTo, Product) - Clear, authoritative content - Mobile-first indexing ### Claude **How it works:** Training data + retrieval (when web-enabled) **Optimization tactics:** - Quality content in training sources - Wikipedia mentions help entity recognition - Technical accuracy valued - Clear, well-structured prose - Being cited in authoritative sources --- ## Technical Implementation ### Schema Markup for GEO **Organization Schema:** ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "name": "Company Name", "description": "Clear description of what company does", "url": "https://example.com", "foundingDate": "2017", "numberOfEmployees": "50-100", "sameAs": [ "https://twitter.com/company", "https://linkedin.com/company/company" ] } ``` **FAQ Schema:** ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What is [thing]?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Direct answer here." } }] } ``` **Product Schema:** ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Product Name", "description": "Product description", "brand": {"@type": "Brand", "name": "Brand"}, "offers": { "@type": "Offer", "priceCurrency": "USD", "price": "99" } } ``` ### llms.txt Protocol Create `/llms.txt` at your site root to help LLMs understand your site: ``` # Site Name > Brief description of what this site/company is. ## Main Sections - [Products](/products): Description of products section - [Documentation](/docs): Technical documentation - [Blog](/blog): Industry insights and updates ## Key Facts - Founded: 2017 - Customers: 500+ companies - Key metric: [specific number] ## Contact - Website: https://example.com - Email: hello@example.com ``` --- ## Monitoring GEO Performance ### Manual Testing Regularly search these prompts on each platform: **Perplexity:** - "What is [your company]?" - "Best [competitor] alternative" - "[Your category] comparison" - "How does [your product] work?" **ChatGPT:** - Same queries with web browsing enabled - "Compare [your product] vs [competitor]" **Google (AI Overview):** - "[Your category] solutions" - "[Competitor] alternative" ### Tracking Tools | Tool | What It Tracks | Price | |------|----------------|-------| | Otterly.AI | Multi-platform AI visibility | Free tier | | Ahrefs Brand Radar | AI search mentions | $129+/mo | | Profound | Enterprise benchmarking | Enterprise | | Manual tracking | DIY spreadsheet | Free | ### Key Metrics - **Mention rate:** % of relevant queries where you appear - **Citation rate:** % of mentions that cite/link to you - **Sentiment:** Positive/neutral/negative portrayal - **Share of voice:** Your mentions vs competitors - **Position:** Where in the response you appear --- ## GEO Content Principles ### DO: - ✅ Use specific numbers ("0.5 seconds" not "fast") - ✅ Make claims quotable and standalone - ✅ Structure content with clear hierarchy - ✅ Include FAQ sections - ✅ Update content regularly with dates - ✅ Create comparison content - ✅ Use tables for data - ✅ Be factual and neutral in tone - ✅ Name real customers and results ### DON'T: - ❌ Use vague superlatives ("best", "leading", "top") - ❌ Keyword stuff (LLMs see through it) - ❌ Write walls of text without structure - ❌ Hide information (be comprehensive) - ❌ Use outdated statistics - ❌ Ignore competitors (address them directly) - ❌ Be obviously promotional (neutral wins) --- ## Quick Start Checklist For any page you want to optimize for GEO: 1. [ ] Add clear entity definition in first paragraph 2. [ ] Include 5+ specific, quotable statistics 3. [ ] Add FAQ section with 5+ questions 4. [ ] Create comparison table (if relevant) 5. [ ] Add "last updated" date 6. [ ] Implement FAQ schema markup 7. [ ] Ensure H1→H2→H3 hierarchy 8. [ ] Test on Perplexity: does your content appear? --- ## Automated GEO Monitoring Track your citation rate over time with the included monitoring scripts! ### Quick Start **Test current visibility:** ```bash python3 scripts/geo-monitor.py --test ``` **Single query test:** ```bash python3 scripts/geo-monitor.py --query "best game server orchestration platform" ``` **Generate daily report:** ```bash python3 scripts/geo-daily-report.py ``` ### Setup Automated Monitoring **1. Create your test queries file** (`scripts/geo-test-queries.json`): ```json { "queries": [ { "query": "your target query here", "category": "brand|product|comparison|problem|competitor" } ] } ``` **2. Run daily monitoring:** ```bash # Add to cron for daily 9am checks 0 9 * * * cd /path/to/skill && bash scripts/geo-daily-monitor.sh ``` ### Understanding the Reports **Citation Rate:** Percentage of queries where you appear in AI responses - 0-20%: Early stage, needs work - 20-40%: Building visibility - 40-60%: Strong presence - 60%+: Dominant authority **Categories tracked:** - Brand queries (you should own these!) - Product/feature queries - Comparison queries (vs competitors) - Problem/pain point queries - Competitor comparison queries ### Monitoring Best Practices 1. **Start with 15-20 strategic queries** across all categories 2. **Test daily** during optimization period (first 2 weeks) 3. **Weekly checks** once you hit target citation rate 4. **Track changes** after content updates (expect 3-7 day lag) 5. **Focus on gaps** - queries with 0% citation are your opportunities ### What to Track **Current state:** - Total citation rate - Citations by category - Position when cited (#1, #2, etc.) - Critical gaps (0% coverage) **Over time:** - Citation rate trend (weekly/monthly) - New citations gained - Lost citations (content freshness!) - Category improvements ### Files Included - `scripts/geo-monitor.py` - Main testing script (uses Perplexity API) - `scripts/geo-daily-report.py` - Formatted report generator - `scripts/geo-daily-monitor.sh` - Cron-friendly wrapper - `scripts/geo-test-queries.json` - Example query file **Requirements:** Perplexity API key (configure via web_search in Clawdbot) --- ## Resources - [Awesome GEO GitHub](https://github.com/amplifying-ai/awesome-generative-engine-optimization) - [Princeton GEO Research Paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.09735) - [Google AI Search Guidance](https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2025/05/succeeding-in-ai-search) - [Perplexity Ranking Factors](https://firstpagesage.com/seo-blog/perplexity-ai-optimization-ranking-factors-and-strategy/)
