GEO Technical SEO Audit

Purpose

Technical SEO forms the foundation of both traditional search visibility and AI search citation. A technically broken site cannot be crawled, indexed, or cited by any platform. This skill audits 8 categories of technical health with specific attention to GEO requirements — most critically, server-side rendering (AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript) and AI crawler access (many sites inadvertently block AI crawlers in robots.txt).

When to Use

• You need a Generative Engine Optimization task for a website: audit, citability, crawlers, schema, llms.txt, content, platform tuning, or client reporting.
• Run read-only analysis first; propose site changes before making any.

Limitations

• Audits are read-only analysis; never publish, deploy, or modify the target site without explicit approval.
• Scores and citation likelihoods are heuristics, not guarantees from AI search platforms.
• Docs-only import: upstream scripts, agents, hooks, and schema templates are not bundled.
