GEO = Generative Engine Optimization
| Goal | Platform | |------|----------| | Be cited in AI responses | ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini |
| Aspect | SEO | GEO | |--------|-----|-----| | Goal | #1 ranking | AI citations | | Platform | Google | AI engines | | Metrics | Rankings, CTR | Citation rate | | Focus | Keywords | Entities, data |
| Engine | Citation Style | Opportunity | |--------|----------------|-------------| | Perplexity | Numbered [1][2] | Highest citation rate | | ChatGPT | Inline/footnotes | Custom GPTs | | Claude | Contextual | Long-form content | | Gemini | Sources section | SEO crossover |
How AI engines select content to cite:
| Factor | Weight | |--------|--------| | Semantic relevance | ~40% | | Keyword match | ~20% | | Authority signals | ~15% | | Freshness | ~10% | | Source diversity | ~15% |
| Element | Why It Works | |---------|--------------| | Original statistics | Unique, citable data | | Expert quotes | Authority transfer | | Clear definitions | Easy to extract | | Step-by-step guides | Actionable value | | Comparison tables | Structured info | | FAQ sections | Direct answers |
| Action | Purpose | |--------|---------| | Google Knowledge Panel | Entity recognition | | Wikipedia (if notable) | Authority source | | Consistent info across web | Entity consolidation | | Industry mentions | Authority signals |
| Crawler | Engine | |---------|--------| | GPTBot | ChatGPT/OpenAI | | Claude-Web | Claude | | PerplexityBot | Perplexity | | Googlebot | Gemini (shared) |
| Strategy | When | |----------|------| | Allow all | Want AI citations | | Block GPTBot | Don't want OpenAI training | | Selective | Allow some, block others |
| Metric | How to Track | |--------|--------------| | AI citations | Manual monitoring | | "According to [Brand]" mentions | Search in AI | | Competitor citations | Compare share | | AI-referred traffic | UTM parameters |

No-code automation democratizes workflow building. Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let non-developers automate business processes without writing code. But no-code doesn't mean no-complexity - these platforms have their own patterns, pitfalls, and breaking points. This skill covers when to use which platform, how to build reliable automations, and when to graduate to code-based solutions. Key insight: Zapier optimizes for simplicity and integrations (7000+ apps), Make optimizes for power

Workflow automation is the infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable. Without durable execution, a network hiccup during a 10-step payment flow means lost money and angry customers. With it, workflows resume exactly where they left off. This skill covers the platforms (n8n, Temporal, Inngest) and patterns (sequential, parallel, orchestrator-worker) that turn brittle scripts into production-grade automation. Key insight: The platforms make different tradeoffs. n8n optimizes for accessibility
