💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Brands are losing visibility as users shift from traditional search to AI-generated answers, and most content is not structured to be extracted and cited by AI systems. This Skill audits and optimizes content so it gets cited as a source across AI search platforms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - AI Visibility Audit: Test key queries across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, then analyze citation patterns and competitor presence. - Three-Pillar Optimization Framework: Apply Structure (extractable answer blocks, comparison tables, FAQ schema), Authority (statistics, citations, expert quotes per Princeton GEO research), and Presence (Wikipedia, Reddit, review sites, third-party mentions). - Machine-Readable Files: Generate llms.txt, pricing.md, and OKF knowledge bundles, plus robots.txt rules for AI crawlers like GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot. - Use Case: A SaaS company notices competitors appearing in ChatGPT recommendations for their product category. The Skill runs a visibility audit, identifies missing comparison tables and FAQ schema, and produces a prioritized action plan. ## Quick Start Audit my website's visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews and give me a prioritized plan to get cited more often.

Frequently Asked Questions about ai-seo

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get my website cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Structure content into extractable blocks like definitions, comparison tables, and FAQs, then add statistics with named sources and expert quotes. The Princeton GEO study found citations boost visibility by 40% and statistics by 37%. Also ensure GPTBot and PerplexityBot are allowed in robots.txt.

What content types get cited most by AI search engines?

Comparison articles earn roughly 33% of AI citations, followed by definitive guides at 15% and original research at 12%. These formats work because they provide structured, authoritative, extractable information that AI systems can quote directly.

Should I block AI crawlers like GPTBot in robots.txt?

Blocking AI crawlers prevents those platforms from citing your content, which removes you from AI-generated answers. If you want citation but not training use, you can block training-only crawlers like CCBot while allowing search bots such as GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot.

Does schema markup help with AI search visibility?

Yes, structured data like FAQPage, HowTo, Article, and Product schema correlates with 30-40% higher AI visibility on non-Google AI engines. Google states schema is not required for AI Overviews but recommends it as part of overall SEO strategy.

What is the difference between AI SEO and traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO gets pages ranked in search results, while AI SEO gets content cited inside AI-generated answers. Well-structured pages can be cited even when ranking on page 2 or 3, because AI systems select sources based on content quality, structure, and relevance rather than rank position alone.

When should I use a traditional SEO audit instead of AI SEO?

Use a traditional SEO audit for issues like traffic drops, crawlability problems, technical errors, and on-page optimization. AI SEO builds on that foundation and focuses specifically on citation by AI assistants and answer engines.
