AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

Audits and rewrites content so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Mistral cite it as the authoritative source.

What it does

Unlike SEO, which chases rankings, this skill optimizes for citation inside LLM answers.

  • AEO audit — scores a page 0–100 across the four E-E-A-T dimensions (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and lists the top 3 highest-impact fixes.
  • Content optimizer — rebuilds H2/H3 hierarchy for LLM parsing, boosts citation density, injects FAQ/HowTo/Article JSON-LD, and moves verifiable facts into the first 200 words, in conservative / balanced / aggressive modes.
  • Citation tracker — a local ledger (~/.aeo-data/citations.json) recording which URL was cited by which LLM for which query, with per-page counts, velocity, and CSV export.
  • Pre-flight bot check — verifies robots.txt isn't blocking GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, or Google-Extended (a blocked crawler zeroes that platform).
  • Industry thresholds for healthcare, finance, legal, SaaS, e-commerce, B2B, media, and education.

Who it's for

  • Content marketers who want their posts surfaced inside AI answers
  • In-house SEO teams re-auditing an existing content library for the AI-search era
  • Editors in regulated verticals who must show reviewer bylines and primary sources
  • Growth leads who want citation share measured rather than guessed

Examples

  1. Audit an existing post — "Run an AEO audit on this URL" → composite 72/100, author bio missing credentials (Expertise +15), no corrections policy linked (Trustworthiness +12).
  2. Pre-publish pass — aeo_optimizer.py --input post.md --mode balanced returns a variant with a fact-first lede and FAQ schema attached.
  3. Monthly citation report — log each Perplexity/ChatGPT citation you spot, then export CSV showing citation count, LLM coverage, and velocity per page.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .gemini/skills/aeo folder from the GitHub repo alirezarezvani/claude-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/aeo/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git /tmp/claude-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/claude-skills/.gemini/skills/aeo ~/.claude/skills/aeo

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill in: cp -r claude-skills/.gemini/skills/aeo ~/.claude/skills/aeo
  5. Confirm Python 3 is available with python3 --version (the scripts are stdlib-only).
  6. Optional: to audit live pages with --url, run pip install requests beautifulsoup4. Skip it if you only audit local markdown files.
  7. Restart Claude Code and try a trigger phrase such as "AEO audit" or "optimize this page to get cited by Perplexity".
  8. Citation data stays local under ~/.aeo-data/ — back that folder up if the ledger matters to you.
