# Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

Optimize websites for both traditional search engines and AI answer engines.
The goal is being crawlable, indexable, quotable, and structurally easy to cite.

## Quick Reference

**GEO = Generative Engine Optimisation**.

**Key Insight:** AI engines often cite fragments and summaries instead of
showing ranked lists. Being cited is now as important as ranking.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Website Audit

Run the quick technical check:

```bash
python3 scripts/seo_audit.py "https://example.com"
```

Check:
- title tag
- meta description
- H1
- schema presence
- canonical tag
- robots.txt
- sitemap visibility

Useful manual checks:

```bash
curl -sL "https://example.com" | grep -E "<title>|<meta name=\"description\"|application/ld\\+json"
curl -s "https://example.com/robots.txt"
curl -s "https://example.com/sitemap.xml" | head -50
```

### Step 2: Keyword and Intent Research

Map the page to:
- primary keyword
- long-tail variants
- comparison or category queries
- branded queries
- AI-answer style questions

Analyze:
- search volume and difficulty
- competitor keyword strategies
- long-tail opportunities
- wording conflicts across markets

### Step 3: GEO Optimisation

Apply the core GEO patterns from
[references/geo-research.md](./references/geo-research.md):

- answer-first structure
- FAQ sections
- concrete numbers and specifics
- clean heading hierarchy
- short, quoteable paragraphs
- tables and comparisons where useful

### Step 4: Traditional SEO Layer

Check:
- H1 contains the primary topic
- meta title and description are specific
- internal links support topic authority
- images have useful alt text
- structured data matches page intent
- page is readable and fast on mobile

### Step 5: Validate

Validate schema and indexing:

```bash
open "https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?url={encoded_url}"
open "https://validator.schema.org/?url={encoded_url}"
open "https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{domain}"
open "https://www.bing.com/search?q=site:{domain}"
```
