Use to get a brand and its content CITED and RECOMMENDED by AI answer engines — the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) / AI-search-visibility skill. Run when the user says "GEO," "get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI," "ChatGPT SEO," "LLM SEO / LLMO," "AI Overviews," "answer engine optimization (AEO)," "will AI recommend my brand," or wants to show up in AI-generated answers, not just the feed or Google links. Reads brand-profile and audience first. AI engines retrieve + fan-out and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AI Search Optimization (GEO)

Get your brand **into the answer** when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Gemini, or Copilot
a question in your space — instead of watching a competitor get named. This is **GEO** (Generative
Engine Optimization; also AEO/LLMO): optimizing to be **cited and recommended** by AI engines. It
supplements search/SEO; it doesn't replace it.

Four truths shape everything:

1. **AI answers are built by retrieval + fan-out.** Engines retrieve live from search indexes
   (ChatGPT via OpenAI's own crawler/index, OAI-SearchBot — historically Bing-seeded; Google feeds
   AI Overviews/AI Mode) and split your topic into sub-queries — so **ranking in search feeds AI
   citation**, and you optimize for a constellation of questions.
2. **AI cites community/social sources most.** Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia, LinkedIn, listicles and
   review sites dominate citations — **the cited pages are usually not your pages.** Earned mentions
   beat product pages.
3. **Platforms disagree.** ChatGPT skews Wikipedia, Perplexity skews Reddit, AI Overviews lean on
   E-E-A-T + the community web. Optimizing for one ≠ all.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/ai-search-optimization@sha256:5944ba05b68402c9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
