generative-engine-optimization

generative-engine-optimization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kostja94/marketing-skills. It costs 177 tokens per session (2,739 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to making website content more likely to be cited in answers from AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. It covers Generative Engine Optimization, also called GEO or Answer Engine Optimization.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan content for AI search visibility, improve pages for AI-generated summaries, and distinguish this work from traditional search engine optimization.
Why use it?
It helps when traditional search rankings do not show whether AI assistants will mention your content. The guidance focuses on writing clear, useful passages that AI systems can identify and cite.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

generative-engine-optimization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Strategies: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

Guides GEO/AEO strategy for AI search visibility. GEO optimizes content for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI search summaries (Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, Yandex Search with AI)—getting cited in AI-generated answers rather than ranking in traditional SERPs. See serp-features for AI search as SERP features; featured-snippet for snippet optimization that overlaps with AI Overviews.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • GEO = Generative Engine Optimization
  • AEO = Answer Engine Optimization
  • LLMO = Large Language Model Optimization
  • AIO = Artificial Intelligence Optimization

All refer to the same goal: visibility in AI assistant responses.

GEO vs. SEO

Dimension SEO GEO
Goal Rankings in search results Citations in AI answers
User path Click → visit → convert Answer in-place; may not visit
Content Full page optimization Clear, citable paragraphs
Metrics Clicks, traffic Citations, brand mentions
Platforms Google, Bing, Yandex (organic) AI Overviews, Copilot, Yandex AI, ChatGPT, Perplexity

Both matter: Create content that ranks and gets cited. AI search summaries (AI Overviews, Copilot, Yandex AI) are SERP features—see serp-features. When SERP features cause zero-click (user gets answer without clicking), citation becomes the primary value; optimize for being cited, not just ranked.

AI Search Platforms (SERP Features + Standalone)

Platform Type Source Selection Optimization Focus
Google AI Overviews SERP feature Top 10–12 organic; Gemini; favors older domains (49% over 15 yrs) Traditional SEO; structured data; citable blocks
Bing Copilot Search SERP feature Bing index; GPT-4; 9.81% domain overlap with Google; favors younger domains (18.85%); LinkedIn signals for B2B Bing optimization; LinkedIn presence; structured content
Yandex Search with AI / Neuro SERP feature Real-time Yandex search; YandexGPT; Russia-focused Yandex indexing; Russian content; cited sources
Perplexity Standalone 200B+ URL index; independent crawl; favors recency, semantic alignment Content freshness; semantic markup; mid-tier site opportunity
ChatGPT (web search) Standalone GPTbot; high-authority, frequently updated, LLM-friendly; favors older domains (45.8%) Backlinks; structured data; authority signals

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
