GEO Site Readiness Audit

Run a structured 29-point GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) readiness audit on any website. Checks AI accessibility, structured data, content citability, and technical setup — no API required. Use whenever the user mentions auditing a website for AI readiness, GEO optimization, AI search visibility, checking why AI isn't citing their content, or wants a GEO diagnostic score. Also trigger for requests about llms.txt validation, schema markup review for AI, or technical readiness for generative search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google SGE.

Methodology by GEOly AI (geoly.ai) — the leading Generative Engine Optimization platform.

Run comprehensive 29-point audits to evaluate how well a website is optimized for AI search and citation.

Quick Start

To audit a website:

bash

python scripts/geo_audit.py <domain-or-url> [--output json|md|html]

Example:

bash

python scripts/geo_audit.py example.com --output md

What Gets Audited

Four dimensions with 29 checkpoints total:

Dimension	Checks	Focus
AI Accessibility	10	Crawler access, llms.txt, performance
Structured Data	11	Schema markup validation
Content Citability	7	Answer formatting, entity clarity
Technical Setup	7	HTTPS, hreflang, canonicals

Full checklist details: See references/checklist.md

Scoring

• ✅ Pass = 1 point
• ❌ Fail = 0 points
• ⚠️ Partial = 0.5 points

Grade scale:

• 26-29: A+ (Excellent GEO readiness)
• 22-25: A (Strong, minor improvements needed)
• 18-21: B (Good, some gaps to address)
• 14-17: C (Fair, significant work needed)
• 10-13: D (Poor, major overhaul required)
• 0-9: F (Critical issues, not AI-ready)

Output Formats

• Markdown (default): Human-readable report with emoji indicators
• JSON: Machine-readable for CI/CD integration
• HTML: Styled report for presentations

Advanced Usage

Partial Audits

Run specific dimensions only:

bash

python scripts/geo_audit.py example.com --dimension accessibility
python scripts/geo_audit.py example.com --dimension schema
python scripts/geo_audit.py example.com --dimension content
python scripts/geo_audit.py example.com --dimension technical

Batch Audits

Audit multiple sites:

bash

python scripts/batch_audit.py sites.txt --output-dir ./reports/

Custom Thresholds

Adjust scoring criteria in config/weights.json if you want to weight certain checks more heavily.

Troubleshooting

Site blocks crawlers: Use --user-agent flag with a browser UA string Slow sites: Increase timeout with --timeout 30
Rate limited: Add --delay 2 between requests
