GEO audit of websites with geo-seo-claude in Claude Code

Automated GEO Audit Using geo-seo-claude in Claude Code

AI systems like Google SGE, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are increasingly delivering answers directly in search results, citing sources without sending traffic to the site. Traditional SEO is giving way to GEO—Generative Engine Optimization—where the goal is to become a cited source. The open-source tool geo-seo-claude, built on Claude Code, audits your site against key GEO metrics and delivers a fix-it plan.

GEO Basics and How It Differs from Traditional SEO

GEO zeroes in on factors that make AI pick your content: structured Schema.org data, clear answers to questions, proper heading structure, readable text, and domain authority via brand mentions. Unlike SEO, which chases clicks, GEO fights for mentions in AI responses.

Classic SEO optimizes for search bots: indexing, speed, keywords, backlinks. GEO targets models like Gemini and Bing Copilot—checking if your content is ready for parsing and citation.

geo-seo-claude Features

The tool runs a comprehensive site analysis with one command in Claude Code:

• Citability Score (0–100): Rates content suitability for AI citation based on answer structure, FAQs, and clear phrasing.
• AI Crawlers: Checks robots.txt for access by GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.
• Schema Markup: Scans for Organization, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product; suggests additions.
• Brand Mentions: Hunts external links as authority signals.
• Content Audit: Reviews H1–H6 structure, readability, question-answering.

Output: PDF/HTML report with metrics and optimization steps.
