Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

Optimize websites for both traditional search engines and AI answer engines. The goal is being crawlable, indexable, quotable, and structurally easy to cite.

Quick Reference

GEO = Generative Engine Optimisation.

Key Insight: AI engines often cite fragments and summaries instead of showing ranked lists. Being cited is now as important as ranking.

Workflow

Step 1: Website Audit

Run the quick technical check:

python3 scripts/seo_audit.py "https://example.com"

Check:

  • title tag
  • meta description
  • H1
  • schema presence
  • canonical tag
  • robots.txt
  • sitemap visibility

Useful manual checks:

curl -sL "https://example.com" | grep -E "<title>|<meta name=\"description\"|application/ld\\+json"
curl -s "https://example.com/robots.txt"
curl -s "https://example.com/sitemap.xml" | head -50

Step 2: Keyword and Intent Research

Map the page to:

  • primary keyword
  • long-tail variants
  • comparison or category queries
  • branded queries
  • AI-answer style questions

Analyze:

  • search volume and difficulty
  • competitor keyword strategies
  • long-tail opportunities
  • wording conflicts across markets

Step 3: GEO Optimisation

Apply the core GEO patterns from references/geo-research.md:

  • answer-first structure
  • FAQ sections
  • concrete numbers and specifics
  • clean heading hierarchy
  • short, quoteable paragraphs
  • tables and comparisons where useful

Step 4: Traditional SEO Layer

Check:

  • H1 contains the primary topic
  • meta title and description are specific
  • internal links support topic authority
  • images have useful alt text
  • structured data matches page intent
  • page is readable and fast on mobile

Step 5: Validate

Validate schema and indexing:

open "https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url={encoded_url}"
open "https://validator.schema.org/?url={encoded_url}"
open "https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{domain}"
open "https://www.bing.com/search?q=site:{domain}"
