# 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). ## How to Use This Skill 1. Collect the target URL (homepage + 2-3 key inner pages) 2. Fetch each page using curl/WebFetch to get raw HTML and HTTP headers 3. Run through each of the 8 audit categories below 4. Score each category using the rubric 5. Generate GEO-TECHNICAL-AUDIT.md with results --- ## Category 1: Crawlability (15 points) ### 1.1 robots.txt Validity - Fetch `https://[domain]/robots.txt` - Check for syntactic validity: proper `User-agent`, `Allow`, `Disallow` directives - Check for common errors: missing User-agent, wildcards blocking important paths, Disallow: / blocking entire site - Verify XML sitemap is referenced: `Sitemap: https://[domain]/sitemap.xml` ### 1.2 AI Crawler Access (CRITICAL for GEO) Check robots.txt for directives targeting these AI crawlers: | Crawler | User-Agent | Platform | |---|---|---| | GPTBot | GPTBot | ChatGPT / OpenAI | | Google-Extended | Google-Extended | Gemini / Google AI training | | Googlebot | Googlebot | Google Search + AI Overviews | | Bingbot
