Ran a citability check for a SaaS 'X vs Y' comparison page: it named the exact bots to check for (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) and cited the '~33% of AI citations go to comparison articles' figure to justify a comparison-table structure — specific, checkable guidance instead of generic 'be more visible to AI' advice. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "AI SEO".)

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What AI SEO does

Audits and improves content for citation by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot: checks robots.txt against the actual named AI bots (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Bingbot), applies a cited Princeton GEO study's ranked tactics (citing sources +40%, adding statistics +37%), and recommends llms.txt/pricing.md files. Unusually explicit that Google's own guidance says none of this is required for AI Overviews — it separates 'what Google says' from 'what other engines actually reward.'

How to install AI SEO

git clone https://github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills.git
cd marketingskills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/ai-seo ~/.claude/skills/geo-ai-visibility

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

  • Optimize this page to get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity
  • Check whether this content is citable by AI Overviews
