| 2 | |
| 3 | Comprehensive SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) for websites. Optimize for both traditional search engines (Google, Bing) and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Claude). |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Quick Reference |
| 6 | |
| 7 | **GEO = Generative Engine Optimization** - Optimizing content to be cited by AI search engines. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | **Key Insight:** AI search engines don't rank pages - they **cite sources**. Being cited is the new "ranking #1". |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Workflow |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ### Step 1: Website Audit |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Get the target URL and analyze current SEO/GEO status. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **Basic SEO Audit (Free):** |
| 18 | ```bash |
| 19 | python3 scripts/seo_audit.py "https://example.com" |
| 20 | ``` |
| 21 | **Use this for**: Quick technical SEO check (title, meta, H1, robots, sitemap, load time). No API needed. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | --- |
| 24 | |
| 25 | **Check Meta Tags:** |
| 26 | ```bash |
| 27 | curl -sL "https://example.com" | grep -E "<title>|<meta name=\"description\"|<meta property=\"og:|application/ld\+json" | head -20 |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | |
| 30 | **Use this for**: Quick check of essential meta tags and schema markup on any webpage. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | --- |
| 33 | |
| 34 | **Check robots.txt:** |
| 35 | ```bash |
| 36 | curl -s "https://example.com/robots.txt" |
| 37 | ``` |
| 38 | |
| 39 | **Use this for**: Verify which bots are allowed/blocked. Critical for ensuring AI search engines can crawl your site. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | --- |
| 42 | |
| 43 | **Check sitemap:** |
| 44 | ```bash |
| 45 | curl -s "https://example.com/sitemap.xml" | head -50 |
| 46 | ``` |
| 47 | |
| 48 | **Use this for**: Verify sitemap structure and ensure all important pages are included for search engine discovery. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | **Verify AI Bot Access:** |
| 51 | ``` |
| 52 | # These bots should be allowed in robots.txt: |
| 53 | - Googlebot (Google) |
| 54 | - Bingbot (Bing/Copilot) |
| 55 | - PerplexityBot (Perplexity) |
| 56 | - ChatGPT-User (ChatGPT with browsing) |
| 57 | - ClaudeBot / anthropic-ai (Claude) |
| 58 | - GPTBot (OpenAI) |
| 59 | ``` |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ### Step 2: Keyword Research |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Use **WebSearch** to research target keywords: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ``` |
| 66 | WebSearch: "{keyword} keyword difficulty site:ahrefs.com OR site:semrush.com" |
| 67 | WebSearch: "{keyword} search volume 2026" |
| 68 | WebSearch: "site:{competitor.com} {keyword}" |
| 69 | ``` |
| 70 | |
| 71 | **Analyze:** |
| 72 | - Search volume and difficulty |
| 73 | - Competitor keyword strategies |
| 74 | - Long-tail keyword opportunities |
| 75 | - International keyword conflicts (e.g., "OPC" = industrial automation in English markets) |
| 76 | |
| 77 | ### Step 3: GEO Optimization (AI Search Engines) |
| 78 | |
| 79 | Apply the **9 Princeton GEO Methods** (see [references/geo-research.md](./references/geo-research.md)): |

| 100 | "mainEntity": [{ |
| 101 | "@type": "Question", |
| 102 | "name": "What is [topic]?", |
| 103 | "acceptedAnswer": { |
| 104 | "@type": "Answer", |
| 105 | "text": "According to [source], [answer with statistics]." |

| 136 | <meta name="twitter:description" content="{Description}"> |
| 137 | <meta name="twitter:image" content="{Image URL}"> |
| 138 | ``` |
| 139 | |
| 140 | **JSON-LD Schema** (see [references/schema-templates.md](./references/schema-templates.md)): |
| 141 | - WebPage / Article for content pages |
| 142 | - FAQPage for FAQ sec |
