Geo Compare

GEO Monthly Delta Report Generator

Purpose

The single most powerful retention tool for a GEO agency: show clients exactly what improved since they started working with you. Every point gained on the GEO score is proof of value. This skill generates the "here's your progress" report.

Commands

/geo compare <domain>
/geo compare <baseline-file> <current-file>
/geo compare meridianlegal.com.au --month march-2026

Examples:

/geo compare meridianlegal.com.au
/geo compare ~/.geo-prospects/audits/meridianlegal.com.au-2026-01-15.md ~/.geo-prospects/audits/meridianlegal.com.au-2026-03-12.md

Workflow

Step 1: Find Audit Files

If only domain is provided:

1. Look in ~/.geo-prospects/audits/ for files matching <domain>-*.md
2. Sort by date
3. Use oldest as baseline, newest as current
4. If only one file exists: use it as baseline, run a fresh quick audit as current
5. If no files exist: suggest running /geo prospect audit <domain> first

Step 2: Parse Both Audits

Extract from each audit file:

• Overall GEO Score
• Per-category scores (6 categories)
• Per-platform scores (5 platforms)
• AI crawler status (14 crawlers)
• Critical issues list
• Action items list with status

Step 3: Calculate Deltas

For each metric:

• Delta = Current - Baseline
• Trend = ▲ (improved), ▼ (declined), ── (unchanged)
• Color coding in report: green (+), red (-), gray (=)

Step 4: Generate Monthly Report

Output to ~/.geo-prospects/reports/<domain>-monthly-<date>.md

Report Template

Generate the following document:

# GEO Monthly Progress Report
## [COMPANY NAME] — [MONTH YEAR]

**Reporting period:** [BASELINE DATE] → [CURRENT DATE]
**Prepared by:** [AGENCY NAME]
**Report reference:** GEO-MONTHLY-[DOMAIN]-[YYMMDD]

## Executive Summary

[2-3 sentences: What improved, what's the trend, what to focus on next month.]

Example: "Meridian Legal's GEO Score improved from 32 to 44 this month (+12 points),
placing the site firmly in the 'Below Average' tier and on track to reach 'Moderate'
by May. The biggest wins were AI crawler access (+3 crawlers now allowed) and schema
implementation (+Organization and LocalBusiness schemas live). Next month's focus is
content citability — the highest-weighted remaining gap."

## Estimated Business Impact

Based on the [X]-point improvement this month:

- **AI citation likelihood:** Increased by approximately [X]%
- **Crawlers with access:** [X]/14 → [Y]/14 (better coverage on [platforms])
- **Estimated monthly AI-referred traffic improvement:** +[X]% (conservative)
- **Traffic value at current conversion rates:** +A$[X]/month in organic value

*Note: Full traffic impact from GEO changes typically takes 4-8 weeks to materialize
as AI platforms re-index and update their knowledge bases.*

Delta Calculation Logic

When parsing two audit files, look for these patterns:

Score markers to extract:
- "GEO Score: XX/100"
- "Overall Score: XX"
- "AI Citability: XX/100"
- "Brand Authority: XX/100"
- "Technical: XX/100"
- "Schema: XX/100"
- "Platform: XX/100"
- "Content: XX/100"
- "GPTBot: Allowed/Blocked"
- "ClaudeBot: Allowed/Blocked"

If exact scores are not found in audit files, use contextual analysis of the written findings to estimate approximate scores based on issues described.

Trend Interpretation

A decline is not necessarily bad — it can mean new issues were discovered in the fresh audit that weren't visible before. Frame declines as "newly discovered opportunities."
