## What it does

Only 11% of domains are cited by both ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for identical search queries. Each engine relies on separate index data and distinct ranking criteria. The skill runs structured audits against platform checklists, scores the site on a 0-100 rubric, and writes the results to `GEO-PLATFORM-OPTIMIZATION.md`.

Google AI Overviews favors direct answers right after question headings, HTML comparison tables, ordered lists, and FAQ sections. For ChatGPT search, the focus shifts toward Bing index coverage, Wikipedia presence, Wikidata properties, and long articles of 2000+ words.

The skill requires Read, Grep, Glob, Bash, WebFetch, and Write tools to inspect target pages. Chasing Google AI Overviews citations without an existing top 10 organic ranking will fail, because 92% of its sources come directly from the first page of standard search results.

# GEO Platform Optimizer

## Core Insight

Only **11% of domains** are cited by BOTH ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for the same query. Each AI search platform uses different indexes, ranking logic, and source preferences. A page optimized for Google AI Overviews may be invisible to ChatGPT, and vice versa. Platform-specific optimization is not optional — it is the foundation of any serious GEO strategy.

## How to Use This Skill

1. Collect the target URL and the site's primary topic/industry
2. Run each platform checklist below against the site
3. Score each platform on the 0-100 rubric
4. Generate GEO-PLATFORM-OPTIMIZATION.md with per-platform scores, gaps, and action items

## Platform 1: Google AI Overviews (AIO)

### How AIO Selects Sources
- 92% of AIO citations come from pages already ranking in the **top 10 organic results** — traditional SEO is the gateway
- However, 47% of citations come from pages ranking **below position 5** — AIO has its own selection logic favoring clarity and directness over raw rank
- AIO strongly favors pages with **clean structure, direct answers, and scannable formatting**
- Featured snippet optimization has ~70% overlap with AIO optimization
- AIO prefers **concise, factual, unambiguous answers** — hedging and filler reduce citation probability

### Optimization Checklist

1. **Question-Based Headings**: Use H2/H3 headings phrased as questions matching real user queries. Check Google's "People Also Ask" for the target topic and mirror those exact phrasings.
2. **Direct Answer in First Paragraph**: After each question heading, provide a clear 1-2 sentence answer immediately. Then expand with supporting detail. The first sentence should be a standalone citation candidate.
3. **Tables and Structured Comparisons**: AIO heavily cites tables. Convert any comparison, pricing, specification, or feature data into HTML tables. Use clear column headers.
4. **Ordered and Unordered Lists**: Step-by-step processes should use ordered lists. Feature lists should use unordered lists. AIO extracts these directly.
