SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Websites that rank on Google often remain invisible to AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, because AI citation follows different rules than classic SEO. This Skill provides an evidence-based playbook for getting a site cited as the answer for category and intent queries, not just branded searches. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Intent Keyword Research: Maps problem-aware, solution-aware, vendor-aware, and developer queries that buyers and AI agents actually type. - Answer-First Content & Schema: Structures pages with 40-60 word direct answers, question-shaped H2s, HTML tables, and FAQPage/SoftwareApplication JSON-LD schema that AI engines extract disproportionately. - Crawlability & Off-Site Citations: Fixes robots.txt and Bing indexing (which gates ChatGPT), and builds presence on Reddit, G2, and Capterra, the sources AI cites most. - Use Case: A SaaS founder wants their product to appear when users ask ChatGPT "best tool for custom domains". The Skill walks through Bing Webmaster submission, a pillar page with FAQ schema, and seeding genuine Reddit answers. ## Quick Start Use the generative-engine-optimization skill to audit my website and create a plan to get it cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for our category keywords.

Frequently Asked Questions about generative-engine-optimization

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

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

ChatGPT search runs on Bing, so verify and submit your sitemap in Bing Webmaster Tools, not just Google Search Console. Then ensure crawlability for AI bots, publish answer-first content with FAQ schema and HTML tables, and build presence on Reddit and review sites that AI engines cite most.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?▼

GEO is the practice of optimizing a website so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite it for category and intent searches. It differs from classic SEO by prioritizing crawlability for AI bots, structured extractable content, and off-site citations.

Does llms.txt help with AI search visibility?▼

Server-log studies show roughly 97% of llms.txt files receive zero requests, and Google does not use it for chat citations. Its real consumer is coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor, so publish it for documentation and agents rather than expecting chat-citation lift.

What content format gets cited most by AI answer engines?▼

AI engines extract comparison and HTML tables about 81% of the time versus 23% for prose, and FAQ-schema pages earn roughly three times more citations. Open pages with a 40-60 word direct answer, since most citations come from the first 30% of a page.

Why is my site invisible to AI search despite good Google rankings?▼

Google rank does not drive ChatGPT citations, which match Bing's top organic results about 87% of the time. Common causes include robots.txt blocking AI bots, client-side rendering with no readable HTML, and missing Bing Webmaster Tools submission.
