# Content Scoring Skill

When scoring content for GEO optimization:

## The 10 GEO Criteria

Score each criterion 0-10:

| # | Criterion | What to Look For |
|---|-----------|------------------|
| 1 | **Ranking Emphasis** | "best", "top", "#1", superlatives, leadership claims |
| 2 | **User Intent** | Direct answers, addresses specific needs, solves problems |
| 3 | **Competitive Diff** | Unique advantages, "unlike others", differentiators |
| 4 | **Social Proof** | Stats, testimonials, reviews, customer counts, ratings |
| 5 | **Narrative** | Engaging flow, persuasive language, compelling story |
| 6 | **Authority** | Expert tone, credentials, specific knowledge, confidence |
| 7 | **USPs** | Clear unique value, what makes it special |
| 8 | **Urgency** | Time limits, scarcity, "now", limited availability |
| 9 | **Scannable** | Headers, bullets, short paragraphs, clear structure |
| 10 | **Factual** | Verifiable claims, specific numbers, accurate info |

## Scoring Guide

- **0-2**: Missing or severely lacking
- **3-4**: Present but weak
- **5-6**: Adequate, room for improvement
- **7-8**: Good, minor improvements possible
- **9-10**: Excellent, near optimal
