What problem does it solve? Brands are losing visibility as AI Overviews and AI assistants answer queries directly, and this Skill provides a structured methodology to audit and improve how often your content gets cited in AI-generated answers. ## 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 content blocks), Authority (statistics, citations, expert quotes per the Princeton GEO research), and Presence (third-party platforms like Wikipedia, Reddit, review sites). - Machine-Readable Files: Create llms.txt, /pricing.md, and OKF bundles so AI agents can parse your product information, plus robots.txt configuration for AI crawlers like GPTBot and PerplexityBot. - Use Case: A SaaS company notices competitors appear in ChatGPT recommendations but they don't. The Skill walks through an audit, identifies missing FAQ schema and stale content, 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?▼

Getting cited by AI search engines requires three pillars: structure content into extractable blocks (definitions, comparison tables, FAQs), build authority with cited statistics and expert quotes, and maintain presence on third-party sources like Wikipedia and Reddit. Also verify AI crawlers like 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 (~15%), original research (~12%), and best-of listicles (~10%). These formats work because they provide structured, extractable, authoritative 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 usually hurts visibility more than it protects content. A middle ground is blocking training-only crawlers like CCBot while allowing search-and-cite bots such as GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, and Google-Extended.

Does schema markup help with AI search visibility?▼

Schema markup correlates with 30-40% higher AI visibility on non-Google AI engines, with FAQPage, HowTo, Article, and Product schemas being most useful. Google states structured data is not required for AI Overviews but recommends it for 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 from page 2 or 3 of rankings, since 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 when diagnosing traffic drops, crawlability issues, or on-page technical problems. AI SEO builds on top of traditional SEO foundations and focuses specifically on citation by AI assistants and AI Overviews, not core ranking factors.
