Auriti-Labs GEO Optimizer
Make websites visible and citable by AI search engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini AI Overviews). Implements the GEO audit framework plus a 47-method citability engine based on Princeton KDD 2024 research.
Workflow
Step 1 — Audit the site
Run geo audit first. It scores the site 0–100 across 8 categories and generates a prioritized action list.
geo audit --url https://yoursite.com
geo audit --url https://yoursite.com --format json
geo audit --sitemap https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml --max-urls 25
Score bands: 0–35 critical · 36–67 foundation · 68–85 good · 86–100 excellent.
Step 2 — Fix AI crawler access (robots.txt)
Ensure AI citation bots can reach the site. Critical bots that must never be blocked:
OAI-SearchBot— ChatGPT Search citationsPerplexityBot— Perplexity answer citationsClaudeBot— Claude web citationsGoogle-Extended— Gemini AI Overviews
To allow citations while blocking training: Disallow: / for GPTBot and anthropic-ai, but keep Allow: / for OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot.
Step 3 — Generate llms.txt
/llms.txt tells AI crawlers what the site is about and which pages matter.
geo llms --base-url https://yoursite.com --site-name "Site Name" --description "One-sentence description." --output ./public/llms.txt
Required structure: H1 (site name) → blockquote (description) → H2 sections with descriptive links. Keep under 200 lines. Full spec: https://llmstxt.org
Step 4 — Inject JSON-LD schema
Add structured data so AI engines understand page types:
geo schema --type website --url https://yoursite.com
geo schema --type faq --url https://yoursite.com/faq
geo schema --type webapp --url https://yoursite.com/tool
Types: website, webapp, faq, article, organization, breadcrumb.
Step 5 — Optimize content (Princeton GEO methods)
Apply evidence-based improvements ordered by measured impact:
| Priority | Method | Impact | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔴 1 | Cite Sources | +30–115% | Add authoritative external links |
| 🔴 2 | Add Statistics | +40% | Include concrete numbers, percentages, dates |
| 🟠 3 | Quotation Addition | +30–40% | Expert quotes: "Text" — Name, Role, Org, Year |
| 🟠 4 | Authoritative Tone | +6–12% | Confident, expert framing |
| 🟡 5 | Fluency Optimization | +15–30% | Clear, direct language |
| 🟡 6 | Easy-to-Understand | +8–15% | Define terms, use analogies |
| 🟢 7 | Technical Terms | +5–10% | Correct industry terminology |
| 🟢 8 | Unique Words | +5–8% | Vary vocabulary deliberately |
| ❌ 9 | Keyword Stuffing | ~0% ⚠️ | Do NOT apply — neutral to negative |
Source: Princeton KDD 2024 (10,000 queries on Perplexity.ai). Extended by AutoGEO ICLR 2026, SE Ranking 2025, Growth Marshal 2026 to 47 total methods.
Step 6 — Auto-fix all gaps
Generate all missing files at once:
geo fix --url https://yoursite.com --apply
geo fix --url https://yoursite.com --only robots,llms,schema
Creates robots.txt entries, llms.txt, JSON-LD schema, meta tags, and AI discovery endpoints based on audit results.

Informational Checks
10 non-scoring checks that provide deeper analysis beyond the 0–100 score:
| Check | What it detects |
|---|---|
| WebMCP Readiness | SearchAction, labeled forms, tool attributes for AI agents |
| Negative Signals | CTA overload, thin content, keyword stuffing, boilerplate |
| Prompt Injection | LLM instructions in content, HTML comment injection, hidden text |
| Trust Stack | 5-layer trust score (technical, identity, social, academic, consistency) |
| RAG Chunk Readiness | Content structure optimized for retrieval-augmented generation |
| Embedding Proximity | Semantic alignment between title, headings, and body content |
| Content Decay | Temporal signals indicating stale or outdated content |
| Platform Citation | Per-platform citation profile (ChatGPT vs Perplexity vs Gemini) |
| Context Window | Content length optimization for LLM context windows |
| Instruction Readiness | Content structure that helps LLMs follow extraction patterns |

Plugin System
Extend the audit with custom checks via entry points:
# pyproject.toml
[project.entry-points."geo_optimizer.checks"]
my_check = "my_package:MyCheck"
Plugins implement the AuditCheck protocol (name, description, max_score, run()). Plugin results appear in the audit output but do not affect the base score.
