As AI systems increasingly answer user queries directly, getting cited by these systems directly impacts visibility.95 96**System role**: Build layer skill. It turns briefs and signals into assets that other skills can review, publish, and monitor.97 98## When This Must Trigger99 100Use this when the conversation involves a shippable asset or transformation that should feed directly into quality review, deployment, or monitoring — even if the user doesn't use SEO terminology:101 102- Optimizing existing content for AI citations103- Creating new content designed for both SEO and GEO104- Improving chances of appearing in AI Overviews105- Making content more quotable by AI systems106- Adding authority signals that AI systems trust107- Structuring content for AI comprehension108- Competing for visibility in the AI-first search era109 110## What This Skill Does111 1121. **Citation Optimization**: Makes content more likely to be quoted by AI1132. **Structure Enhancement**: Formats content for AI comprehension1143. **Authority Building**: Adds signals that AI systems trust1154. **Factual Enhancement**: Improves accuracy and verifiability1165. **Quote Creation**: Creates memorable, citeable statements1176. **Source Attribution**: Adds proper citations that AI can verify1187. **GEO Scoring**: Evaluates content's AI-friendliness119 120## Quick Start121 122Start with one of these prompts. Finish with a short handoff summary using the repository format in [Skill Contract](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/skill-contract.md).123 124### Optimize Existing Content125 126```127Optimize this content for GEO/AI citations: [content or URL]128```129 130```131Make this article more likely to be cited by AI systems132```133 134### Create GEO-Optimized Content135 136```137Write content about [topic] optimized for both SEO and GEO138```139 140### GEO Audit141 142```143Audit this content for GEO readiness and suggest improvements144```145 146### AI Overview Recovery (traffic lost to SERP AI answers)147 148```149AI Overview is eating clicks on 12 head queries — build a recovery plan150```151 152See [references/ai-overview-recovery.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/build/geo-content-optimizer/references/ai-overview-recovery.md) for the 4-phase playbook (measure → diagnose → rewrite → monitor) tailored to recovery scenarios (as opposed to generic GEO optimization).153 154## Skill Contract155 156**Expected output**: a ready-to-use asset or implementation-ready transformation plus a short handoff summary ready for `memory/content/`.157 158- **Reads**: the brief, target keywords, entity inputs, quality constraints, and prior decisions from [CLAUDE.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/CLAUDE.md) and the shared [State Model](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/state-model.md) when available. **Canonical entity profiles**: if the content mentions a brand / person / product, this skill MUST consult `memory/entities/<slug>.md` (per the [entity-geo handoff schema](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/entity-geo-handoff-schema.md)) to populate `display_name`, `description_short`, `ai_resolution_status` and decide whether disambiguation boilerplate is needed. If the profile is missing or stale (>90 days), declare `DONE_WITH_CONCERNS` and recommend `entity-optimizer` as an open loop.159- **Writes**: a user-facing content, metadata, or schema deliverable plus a reusable summary that can be stored under `memory/content/`.160- **Promotes**: approved angles, messaging choices, missing evidence, and publish blockers to `memory/hot-cache.md`, `memory/decisions.md`, and `memory/open-loops.md`.161- **Next handoff**: use the `Next Best Skill` below when the asset is ready for review or deployment.162 163### Handoff Summary164 165Emit this shape when finishing the skill (see [skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/skill-contract.md) for the authoritative format):166 167- **Status**: DONE / DONE_WITH_CONCERNS / BLOCKED / NEEDS_INPUT168- **Objective**: what was analyzed, created, or fixed169- **Key Findings / Output**: the highest-signal result170- **Evidence**: URLs, data points, or sections reviewed171- **Open Loops**: blockers, missing inputs, or unresolved risks172- **Recommended Next Skill**: one primary next move173 174## Data Sources175 176> See [CONNECTORS.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/CONNECTORS.md) for tool category placeholders.177 178> **Note:** All integrations are optional. This skill works without any API keys — users provide data manually when no tools are connected.179 180**With ~~AI monitor + ~~SEO tool connected:**181Automatically pull AI citation patterns (which content is being cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), current AI visibility scores, competitor citation frequency, and AI Overview appearance tracking.182 183**With manual data only:**184Ask the user to provide:1851. Target queries where they want AI citations1862. Current content URL or full content text1873. Any known instances where competitors are being cited by AI188 189Proceed with the full workflow using provided data. Note in the output which metrics are from automated collection vs. user-provided data.190 191## Instructions192 193When a user requests GEO optimization, run these five steps:194 1951. **Load CORE-EEAT GEO-First Targets** — Top 6 priority items (C02, C09, O03, O05, E01, O02) plus the full GEO-First set; consult the AI Engine Preferences table for engine-specific tuning1962. **Analyze Current Content** — score 8 GEO factors (clear definitions, quotable statements, factual density, source citations, Q&A format, authority signals, content freshness, structure clarity); identify weaknesses and quick wins1973. **Apply GEO Optimization Techniques** — 6 core techniques: definition optimization (25-50 words, standalone), quotable statements (specific stats with sources), authority signals (expert quotes, citations), structure (Q&A, tables, lists), factual density (specific data vs. vague claims), FAQ schema (JSON-LD FAQPage matching visible content)1984. **Generate GEO-Optimized Output** — report Changes Made, Before/After GEO score comparison, AI Query Coverage1995. **CORE-EEAT GEO Self-Check** — verify 14 GEO-First items (C02, C04, C09, O02, O03, O05, O06, R01, R02, R04, R07, E01, Exp10, Ept08) with Pass/Warn/Fail200 201> **Reference**: See [references/instructions-detail.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/build/geo-content-optimizer/references/instructions-detail.md) for the full CORE-EEAT GEO target tables, AI engine preferences, analysis templates, optimization report template, self-check matrix, and examples.202 203## Validation Checkpoints204 205### Input Validation206- [ ] Content source identified (URL, full text, or content draft)207- [ ] Target AI queries or topics clearly defined208- [ ] Current GEO baseline assessed (if optimizing existing content)209 210### Output Validation211- [ ] **Banned-vocab self-check** — scan output for banned words/phrases per [skill-contract.md §Output Voice](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-claude-skills/blob/main/references/skill-contract.md). Replace any hit with a concrete alternative.212- [ ] At least 3 clear, quotable definitions added213- [ ] Factual density improved with at least 5 verifiable statistics214- [ ] All claims have source citations from authoritative sources215- [ ] Q&A format sections cover top 5 user queries216- [ ] GEO score improvement of at least 50% from baseline217- [ ] Source of each data point clearly stated (~~AI monitor data, user-provided, or estimated)218 219## Example220 221**User**: "Optimize this paragraph for GEO: 'Email marketing is a good way to reach customers. It's been around for a while and many businesses use it.'"222 223**Output** adds a clear definition, stats with DMA/Emarsys citations, structured list, and quotable facts — lifting GEO Score from 1/10 to 8/10.
