## What it does

The skill explains how AI search systems select sources and what can make a page easier to cite, including sourced data, clear definitions, author details and FAQ sections. It also covers entity building, crawler access and ways to monitor AI mentions and referral traffic.

It includes content and technical checklists, plus `scripts/geo_checker.py` for auditing a project. Run the script with Python and pass a project path: `python scripts/geo_checker.py <project_path>`. The skill can use `Read`, `Glob` and `Grep`; its audit does not verify whether AI systems actually cite a page.
