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
- Collect the target URL and the site's primary topic/industry
- Run each platform checklist below against the site
- Score each platform on the 0-100 rubric
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Tables and Structured Comparisons: AIO heavily cites tables. Convert any comparison, pricing, specification, or feature data into HTML tables. Use clear column headers.
- Ordered and Unordered Lists: Step-by-step processes should use ordered lists. Feature lists should use unordered lists. AIO extracts these directly.
- FAQ Sections: Add a dedicated FAQ section with 5-10 real questions. Use proper H3 headings for each question. While FAQPage schema rich results are restricted to govt/health sites since Aug 2023, the content pattern still helps AIO extraction.
- Definitions and Glossary Boxes: For any industry-specific term, provide a clear definition. Format: "[Term] is [concise definition]." AIO frequently cites definitions.
- Statistics with Sources: Include specific numbers with attribution. "According to [Source], [statistic]." AIO prefers citeable, specific claims over vague assertions.
- Publication Date: Include a visible publication date and last-updated date. AIO deprioritizes undated content for time-sensitive queries.
- Author Byline: Display author name with credentials. Link to an author page with bio, credentials, and sameAs links.
- Page Depth: Keep target pages within 3 clicks of homepage. AIO rarely cites deep, orphaned content.

Platform 2: ChatGPT Web Search
How ChatGPT Selects Sources
- Uses Bing's search index as its foundation (not Google)
- Top citation sources by domain share: Wikipedia (47.9%), Reddit (11.3%), YouTube, major news outlets
- ChatGPT heavily weights entity recognition — if your brand exists as a structured entity (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase), it is far more likely to be cited
- Prefers authoritative, well-established sources over new or niche sites
