2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 4 stars4 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
When the user wants to optimize for AI search visibility (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, AI Overviews). Also use when the user mentions "GEO," "AEO," "generative engine optimization," "AI search visibility," "LLM optimization," "GitHub GEO," "Grokipedia," "optimize for ChatGPT," "AI Overviews," "Bing Copilot," "Yandex AI," "Perplexity optimization," "GEO strategy," or "AI search optimization." For third-party publishing strategy (which platforms to use), use parasite-seo. For GitHub repos, README, and Awesome lists, use github. For Medium.com only, use medium-posts. For Grokipedia edits, use grokipedia-recommendations. For traditional Google SERP strategy, use seo-strategy.

Strategies: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
Guides GEO/AEO strategy for AI search visibility. GEO optimizes content for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI search summaries (Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, Yandex Search with AI)—getting cited in AI-generated answers rather than ranking in traditional SERPs. See serp-features for AI search as SERP features; featured-snippet for snippet optimization that overlaps with AI Overviews.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Scope
- GEO = Generative Engine Optimization
- AEO = Answer Engine Optimization
- LLMO = Large Language Model Optimization
- AIO = Artificial Intelligence Optimization
All refer to the same goal: visibility in AI assistant responses.
GEO vs. SEO
| Dimension | SEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rankings in search results | Citations in AI answers |
| User path | Click → visit → convert | Answer in-place; may not visit |
| Content | Full page optimization | Clear, citable paragraphs |
| Metrics | Clicks, traffic | Citations, brand mentions |
| Platforms | Google, Bing, Yandex (organic) | AI Overviews, Copilot, Yandex AI, ChatGPT, Perplexity |
Both matter: Create content that ranks and gets cited. AI search summaries (AI Overviews, Copilot, Yandex AI) are SERP features—see serp-features. When SERP features cause zero-click (user gets answer without clicking), citation becomes the primary value; optimize for being cited, not just ranked.
AI Search Platforms (SERP Features + Standalone)
| Platform | Type | Source Selection | Optimization Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews | SERP feature | Top 10–12 organic; Gemini; favors older domains (49% over 15 yrs) | Traditional SEO; structured data; citable blocks |
| Bing Copilot Search | SERP feature | Bing index; GPT-4; 9.81% domain overlap with Google; favors younger domains (18.85%); LinkedIn signals for B2B | Bing optimization; LinkedIn presence; structured content |
| Yandex Search with AI / Neuro | SERP feature | Real-time Yandex search; YandexGPT; Russia-focused | Yandex indexing; Russian content; cited sources |
| Perplexity | Standalone | 200B+ URL index; independent crawl; favors recency, semantic alignment | Content freshness; semantic markup; mid-tier site opportunity |
| ChatGPT (web search) | Standalone | GPTbot; high-authority, frequently updated, LLM-friendly; favors older domains (45.8%) | Backlinks; structured data; authority signals |
Citation behavior: AI Overview citations 20–35% higher CTR than equivalent organic. Copilot: shortest responses, fewest links (~3.13/response). Perplexity: prominent URL citations, high trackability. Geneo, GEO AIO
How GEO Works
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): AI tools search first, then generate answers. Optimize for search result performance to influence AI responses.
- Search APIs: Bing, Brave, etc. feed AI tools. SEO fundamentals still apply.
- Core model training: Long, costly; not practical for most strategies. Focus on RAG.
Technical Crawlability (AI Crawlers)
AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) do not execute JavaScript—critical content must be in initial HTML. See rendering-strategies for SSR, SSG, CSR; site-crawlability for AI crawler optimization; robots-txt for allow/block. Vercel/MERJ study (2024)
Content Best Practices
| Practice | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Direct-answer format | Answer specific questions in clear paragraphs |
| Entity signals | Clear brand, product, author identity; see entity-seo |
| Citable paragraphs | Each block understandable on its own |
| Distribution | Website, YouTube (Google prioritizes YouTube in search; ~78% of social media citations in AI Overviews come from YouTube + Reddit), forums, Reddit—thoughtful comments can outrank blog posts |
Article-Level GEO
For blog posts and articles, structure content for AI citation. Content with these elements is cited ~35% more frequently.
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| TL;DR or Key Takeaways | Choose one: TL;DR = 50–100 word bold summary paragraph; Key Takeaways = 5–7 bullet points; placed after intro |
| QAE pattern | Question (H2) → Answer (2 sentences) → Evidence (data, examples, lists) |
| Answer-first | Direct answer in first 40–60 words after each H2 |
| Answer blocks | 100–200 words per section; direct answer + context + evidence + nuance |
| Structured formats | Lists, tables, numbered steps increase citation rate |

Parasite SEO & High-Authority Platforms
Parasite SEO = Placing content on high-authority platforms to leverage their domain strength for rankings and AI citation. See parasite-seo for full strategy.
GitHub: Tier 2 technical authority; very high AI citation. See github for repos, README, Pages, gists, awesome lists.
YouTube: Google prioritizes YouTube in search; YouTube citations in AI Overviews surged 25.21% (2025). Long-form instructional and visual-demo videos dominate. See youtube-seo for channel and video optimization; video-optimization for website-embedded video SEO.
Grokipedia: xAI's AI encyclopedia; ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot cite it. See grokipedia-recommendations for adding recommendations or links. Contribute genuinely useful content; avoid manipulative placement (Google Site Reputation Abuse policy).
