name: geo-content-optimizer description: > Optimize content for AI citations (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Copilot) inside a toprank SEO workflow. Use when the task needs "optimize for AI", "get cited by ChatGPT", "GEO optimization", or "appear in AI answers" AS PART OF a broader SEO engagement (alongside seo-analysis, keyword-research, content-writer). For AI-citation work with NO SEO context, use bencium-aeo directly — this skill's technique library now lives there.

GEO Content Optimizer (toprank sub-skill)

This is a pointer, not a deprecated stub: it stays invocable as toprank's GEO entry point, but the technique library it used to carry has moved to bencium-aeo/references/geo-techniques.md so the estate has one authority for AI-citation optimisation instead of two overlapping ones.

When to use this pointer vs bencium-aeo directly

• Inside a toprank SEO workflow — you're already running seo-analysis, keyword-research, or content-writer and want to layer GEO on top: read the reference below, apply the techniques, then hand off to content-writer.
• Standalone AI-citation work with no SEO context — invoke bencium-aeo directly; it owns the full workflow (analysis, generation, evidence panels, JSON-LD schema, testing protocol).

Boundary with bencium-aeo

Same underlying techniques (18-token rule, evidence panels, freshness signals, FAQ schema) — the boundary is workflow context, not technique. This pointer exists so a toprank-driven SEO engagement can reach GEO technique without leaving the suite; bencium-aeo is the standalone, SEO-context-free workflow with its own analysis/generation/testing steps. bencium-aeo/SKILL.md carries the reciprocal note under its own "Related skills" section.
