# GEO Content Optimizer
## When To Use
- Creating content for AI citation
- Refactoring articles for AI compatibility
- Improving quotability for AI responses
- Competing in AI-first search
- Adding authority signals AI systems recognize
## Core Concept
**SEO** = Rank in search results
**GEO** = Get cited in AI-generated answers
## The 8 GEO Dimensions
| Dimension | Low (1-2) | High (4-5) |
|-----------|-----------|------------|
| Definition Clarity | Vague | Citable definitions with metrics |
| Quotable Statements | Generic claims | Specific facts with sources |
| Factual Density | Opinion-heavy | Data-packed |
| Source Citations | None | Traceable to authority |
| Q&A Format | Prose only | Explicit Q&A sections |
| Authority Signals | No credentials | Expert bylines, credentials |
| Content Freshness | Outdated | Dated citations, recent data |
| Structural Clarity | Poor hierarchy | Clear headers, lists, tables |
## The GEO Score
Score each dimension 1-5. Total /40:
- 32-40: AI-ready
- 24-31: Needs optimization
- 16-23: Major work needed
## Quick Wins (30-minute edits)
1. Add specific statistics with dates and sources
2. Create standalone definition paragraphs
3. Include expert quotes with credentials
4. Add comparison tables
5. Create FAQ section with 5-7 questions
6. Replace vague claims with verified facts
7. Insert authoritative source citations
## Output Format
```markdown
## GEO Audit
Current Score: [X]/40
### Dimension Scores
| Dimension | Score | Quick Fix |
|-----------|-------|-----------|
| [dimension] | [1-5] | [action] |
## Optimized Content Sections

This skill helps authors and publishers optimize content to be cited by generative AI systems (GEO: Generative Engine Optimization). It evaluates eight practical dimensions of content and produces a numeric GEO score plus targeted edits to increase AI quotability. Use it when you want content to surface in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or other AI-generated answers.
The skill inspects content across eight dimensions—definition clarity, quotable statements, factual density, source citations, Q&A format, authority signals, content freshness, and structural clarity. It scores each dimension 1–5, totals a 40-point GEO score, and returns quick fixes plus ready-made optimized sections (citable definition, key statistics, FAQ). Outputs are actionable edits you can apply in 30 minutes for immediate improvement.
What does a GEO score represent?
The GEO score aggregates eight dimensions (1–5 each) into a 40-point scale that indicates how likely AI systems will cite your content; higher scores mean AI-ready content.
How quickly can I see improvements?
Many gains come from quick wins—adding dated stats, a citable definition, and a 5-question FAQ can be completed in 30 minutes and noticeably improve quotability.
Which dimension most affects AI citation?
Source citations and quotable statements tend to have the biggest impact because they make facts traceable and easy for models to quote directly.
