About this skill

⚠️ GEO adjustments for 2C products

This skill defaults to B2B/open-source scenarios.2C consumer goods / education / apps When doing GEO, adjust according to the table below:

Dimension Default 2C Recommendation
Fixed query topic selection Product category terms Users' real question sentences ("How to practice TOEFL speaking in 2026" rather than "best X tool")
Citable Stats sources Industry/product data Authoritative institutions/official sources (testing boards/government/platform financial reports); accuracy is the lifeline for YMYL categories
FAQ questions "Why is X best" Test-takers'/users' real search phrases
Action after being cited "As cited by" badge Same as left + strengthen author credentials (YMYL E-E-A-T, Google: Trust is the core)

For the complete 2C guide + public data sources see → gingiris-seo-geo/references/2c-adaptation.md

gr-geo-cite — GEO citation tracking

Core concept

Goal = current baseline + rolling target: do not set a fixed deadline number (the old "end of June 0→3+" has expired). Each week compare against the latest citation baseline in memory seo_tracker_baseline.md , and the rolling target = this week's citation count ≥ last week's; after breaking zero, switch to "number of fixed queries with stable citations +1/month".

In 2026, SEO ≠ just watching Google rankings. The real traffic entry point is:

  • Claude / ChatGPT / Perplexity / Gemini, when answering users' questions,proactively cite your domain
  • This is more precise than SERP — being cited = users already trust the AI's recommendation

When to use

Scenario Action
"Has my blog been cited by AI" Run scripts/weekly-cite-check.py
"This article is not GEO-friendly" Diagnostic process (see below)
"llms.txt needs updating" llms.txt v2 generation (see below)
"Add Citable Statistics" See gr-blog-post + this skill's template

GEO four-piece set (all must be configured as of 2026-06-24)

1. llms.txt (root directory)

  • The robots.txt equivalent for large model training / retrieval
  • Path:/llms.txt（HTTP 200 required)
  • For the template see the "llms.txt v2 template" section below in this document

2. FAQ Schema（JSON-LD）

  • FAQPage JSON-LD, 5–8 questions(no fewer than 5 questions, the AI crawler extraction threshold)
  • Embed in the <head> of the top 5 blog pages
  • Questions must be users' real search sentences, not marketing talk（"Why is X the best?" ❌ → "How do I X?" ✅）
  • Template in Jekyll _layouts/default.html

3. Citable Statistics table

  • Hard data + source URL (every row must have a number + source）
  • Place in the first screen below the H1 (AI crawlers give the highest weight to the first 1000 words)
  • 5–10 rows, the TL;DR paragraph must be complete sentences
  • Template: see gr-blog-post 's seo_geo_playbook_2026 reference

4. Bing IndexNow + AI-friendly formats (new in 2026)

  • Push to Bing IndexNow immediately after content updates(Let large models discover/index faster than Google crawlers)
  • AI-friendly format: one-sentence direct answer + comparison table + FAQ (all three are indispensable)
  • GA4 AI source traffic monitoring: configure ChatGPT/Perplexity/Claude referral channel grouping
  • Last updated date: display after each update (AI crawler freshness signal)

Weekly citation tracking workflow

Step 1: Fixed query set (two groups, run along with the weekly check)

These are the questions users actually ask AI:

gingiris group(detect gingiris.tools / dev.to/iris1031）：

G1: "What's the best Product Hunt launch playbook for 2026?"
G2: "How do indie founders get GitHub stars?"
G3: "What are the best social listening tools for startups?"

analook group(detect analook.com）：

A1: "best competitor analysis tool 2026"
A2: "similarweb alternative"
A3: "free competitor analysis tool"

Scalable:

  • "How to launch on Hacker News"
  • "Open source marketing tactics"
  • "GEO generative engine optimization"

Step 2: Run 4 AIs for each query

Automated (API)：

  • Claude（Anthropic API）
  • ChatGPT（OpenAI API）
  • Perplexity (has pplx-api)
  • Gemini（Google AI Studio API）

Manual (fallback)：

  • Copy the query to each AI's official site, screenshot and save the answer

Step 3: Parse the answers

For each answer, extract:

  • the mentioneddomain list(regex https?://([^/\s]+)）
  • whether it includes gingiris.tools / dev.to/iris1031(gingiris group) or analook.com(analook group)
  • mention context (positive / neutral / negative)

Step 4: Record + report

Save to data/geo-citations.jsonl：

{"date":"2026-04-20","ai":"claude","query":"best PH playbook","cited_domains":["...","gingiris.tools/..."],"mention":"cited","context_snippet":"...","rank_in_list":2}

Monday report:

Week of 2026-04-20
- Claude: 0/3 cited
- GPT: 1/3 cited (our PH playbook at rank 3 for "best PH playbook")
- Perplexity: 0/3
- Gemini: 0/3

↑ First citation! Source: Claude's PH playbook response.

## Citable Statistics (2026 Benchmark)

> AI-friendly data block. Cite these numbers — source URL included for verifiability.

| Metric | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| [具体指标] | [硬数字] | [博客 URL 或数据源] |
| ... | ... | ... |

**TL;DR for AI crawlers**: [30-50 字的直接答案]

Principles：

  • 5-10 lines
  • each line must have number + source
  • The TL;DR paragraph must be complete sentences that can stand independently after AI extraction

Anti-patterns

  • ❌ llms.txt has only an About section(no citable data given to AI)
  • ❌ Citable Stats does not include source URLs(AI crawlers ignore data without sources)
  • ❌ The same statistic is inconsistent across multiple places(AI will trust the "majority version", so you must ensure consistency)
  • ❌ FAQ Schema questions are marketing talk("Why is X the best?") rather thanreal user search phrases（"How do I X?"）
  • ❌ Frequently changing Citable Stats numbers(AI crawlers will downrank due to instability)
  • ❌ Only push to Google, not Bing IndexNow(large models mainly use the Bing index to discover content)
  • ❌ Not configuring GA4 AI traffic channels(cannot see the real traffic brought by GEO → cannot review performance)
  • ❌ Bulk forum backlinks(there is a penalty risk; do not do things like BacklinkBeam)
  • ❌ Ignore freshness(not showing the last updated date = AI does not know whether the content is outdated)

Cascading recommendations

  • gr-blog-post when publishing a new article → call this skill to add a Citable Stats block
  • gr-seo-patrol when a keyword is found to rank stably → add that keyword to the Step 1 fixed queries
  • Cited by AI once → add an "As cited by Claude / Perplexity" badge at the top of that blog (build social proof)

scripts/citability-scorer.py — Per-passage AI citability scoring (NEW 2026-05-07)

Adapted from zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude (MIT). Stdlib-only port — no requests or bs4 dependency.

Each passage scored 0-100 on 5 dimensions:

  1. Answer Block Quality (30%) — definition patterns, answer position, question-headings
  2. Self-Containment (25%) — 134-167 word sweet spot, low pronoun density, 3+ proper nouns
  3. Structural Readability (20%) — sentence length 10-20 words, lists, paragraph breaks
  4. Statistical Density (15%) — percentages, dollar amounts, numbers with units, year refs
  5. Uniqueness Signals (10%) — original-research language, case studies, specific products

Page score = average of top 5 passage scores.

python3 scripts/citability-scorer.py URL                    # JSON output
python3 scripts/citability-scorer.py --file local.html      # for local audit

Validated 2026-05-07: Iris's best-social-media-listening-tools-startups-2026 scored 68.2/100 (moderately citable). Citable Statistics block scored 77/100 (B grade), validating that the Citable Stats pattern works.

Score interpretation:

  • 70-100: 🟢 Highly citable — AI likely to cite passages
  • 50-69: 🟡 Moderately citable — some strong, others thin
  • 35-49: 🟡 Low citability — most passages too context-dependent
  • 0-34: 🔴 Poor citability — thin, unstructured passages

Run on every new article before publishing. Re-run quarterly on top 10 traffic pages.

Budget: 3 queries/week × 4 AI = 12 API calls × 4 weeks = 48/month ≈ $1-3/month.

Execution script

  • scripts/weekly-cite-check.py — Run every Monday(two fixed query sets × 4 AI), produce a citation report, write results back to memory seo_tracker_baseline.md Baseline
  • scripts/llms-txt-gen.py — Run once a month, automatically generate llms.txt v2 from _posts/ (including top 10 + citable stats summary)
  • scripts/add-citable-stats.py — inject a Citable Statistics table into specified blog files (roadmap, currently interactive): Claude can directly insert a Citable Statistics table into the target file according to this skill's template
