AI-search answer
A GEO audit checks whether AI systems can understand who you are, what you offer, where proof lives, and which pages answer specific questions. The core signals are direct answers, structured headings, schema, internal links, author signals, and fresh supporting content.
Why this matters: A practical checklist for AI-readable content, entities, schema, internal links, and proof.
What to do next
- 1Check direct answers on key pages.
- 2Validate schema and canonical tags.
- 3Map internal links by topic.
- 4Add proof, author, and source signals.
What to look at first
AI search needs extractable answers and clear entity relationships, not just keywords.
- Check direct answers on key pages.
- Validate schema and canonical tags.
- Map internal links by topic.
- Add proof, author, and source signals.
What the result should be
The audit should produce a short list of pages to improve first, ranked by commercial intent and crawl value.
