SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Pages that rank well in classic search often remain invisible to AI answer engines like ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews because they lack crawl access for AI bots, valid structured data, or quotable content structure. This Skill provides the technical, on-page workflow to make a page discoverable, understandable, trustworthy, quotable, and fresh for generative search. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three operating modes: Create new GEO-ready pages, audit existing pages against six GEO pillars with a prioritized findings table, or apply fixes in severity order. - Ready-to-use templates: page metadata (canonical, hreflang, Open Graph), TechArticle and FAQPage JSON-LD, robots.txt AI crawler rules, llms.txt, and a quotable article outline. - Measurement guidance: references covering Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Rich Results Test, and prompt monitoring with realistic timeline expectations. - Use Case: A user asks to audit their blog for AI search visibility. The Skill checks robots.txt for OAI-SearchBot access, validates JSON-LD, runs the six-pillar sweep, and returns a prioritized findings table with fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to audit your page for AI search visibility or to create a GEO-optimized article page with valid structured data and citation-ready content.

Frequently Asked Questions about pbs-generative-engine-optimization

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I optimize my page for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity?▼

Ensure robots.txt allows AI crawlers like OAI-SearchBot and BingBot, add valid JSON-LD structured data, set canonical URLs, and structure content so each section opens with a self-contained direct answer. The Skill's audit mode walks through all six GEO pillars and produces a prioritized findings table.

What is the difference between GEO and traditional SEO?▼

GEO focuses on making pages citable by AI answer engines through structured data, quotable content, and AI crawler access, while traditional SEO targets keyword rankings in classic search results. This Skill explicitly excludes keyword/SERP ranking work, which belongs to a dedicated SEO skill.

Does llms.txt control whether AI crawlers can access my site?▼

No, llms.txt is a community convention for guiding AI agents to key pages and has no effect on crawling. robots.txt is the only authoritative crawler-control file, and llms.txt does not guarantee citations.

Can I block AI training crawlers but still appear in ChatGPT Search?▼

Yes, GPTBot (training) and OAI-SearchBot (search indexing) are separate user agents in robots.txt. You can disallow GPTBot while explicitly allowing OAI-SearchBot, keeping search visibility without contributing training data.

Why is my structured data not detected by the Rich Results Test?▼

The most common cause is JSON-LD injected by client-side JavaScript after page load. Move the JSON-LD into a static script tag in server-rendered HTML, and confirm required fields like datePublished, author, and headline are present.

Will GEO changes guarantee my page gets cited by AI engines?▼

No, citation is an engine decision based on query context and internal quality signals you cannot inspect. GEO work improves the conditions for citation, but no tool or change can guarantee or schedule it.
