Made by Auriti-Labs ## About ### What it is GEO Optimizer is Juan Camilo Auriti’s open source program, geo, plus a skill that teaches Claude to run it. The program scores a website from 0 to 100 on whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google’s AI answers can crawl it, read it and quote it. It then lists what to fix and can write the fix files. The skill is a rulebook for Claude. The program does the work. You install the geo program, then the plugin → You ask Claude to audit your site → Claude runs geo audit and reads the score → Claude previews the fixes and waits for your yes → Claude writes the files and you upload them ### Who it suits Site owners, developers and SEO people who want a repeatable AI search check. A developer can gate a build on the score. Someone without a terminal habit can ask Claude to run it. It measures readiness only. The README says plainly that it cannot guarantee any engine will cite you. ### Where to use it The geo program is the base. Most routes run it, and the text-file route carries its advice alone. - Terminal: the geo program, from pip, pipx or uvx - Claude Code: a plugin that carries the skill and the MCP server - Cursor, Windsurf and other MCP clients: the geo-mcp server - Claude Projects, ChatGPT and Kiro: text files of advice with no program inside - CI: a GitHub Action, or any CI that runs Python ### How to set it up Get it saves a zip of Mindket’s setup notes in your downloads folder, with a page for each route above. The program itself installs from the Python package index. What you need first | Need | Detail | | --- | --- | | Python 3.10 or newer | For the pip routes. The README gives it as the requirement | | uv | For uvx and for the Claude Code plugin, which starts its MCP server with uvx | | The geo program | The skill needs it. The plugin does not install it | | Claude Code | For the skill and the plugin | | An account | None for audits. Only geo citations needs an API key from the AI provider you pick | 1. Install the geo program first. The pipx line below keeps it in its own environment. Without pipx, use the pip line further down. 2. Check that it runs. The skill has Claude run the same check before anything else. 3. Add the plugin in Claude Code. It brings the skill and the MCP server. ```bash pipx install geo-optimizer-skill ``` The check from step 2 is geo --version, and the skill expects version 4.19.10 or later. Prefer pip, or want to try it without installing it, through uv’s uvx? These are the README’s lines: ```bash pip install -U geo-optimizer-skill uvx --from geo-optimizer-skill geo audit --url https://yoursite.com ``` Then run these two lines inside Claude Code. The README says one step is enough on Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, and setup/claude-code.md in the zip has that line: ```text /plugin marketplace add Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill /plugin install geo-optimizer@geoready ``` ### How to use it Ask Claude in plain words to audit a site for AI search. The skill’s rules decide the order, and some steps are yours. Who does what | Step | Claude | You | | --- | --- | --- | | Preflight | Runs geo --version and stops if the program is missing | Install it | | Audit | Runs geo audit with --no-plugins and reads the score | Name the site | | Fix | Runs geo fix as a preview and adds --apply only after you agree | Say yes, then upload the files | | Schema | Runs geo schema to print JSON-LD, and adds --inject only after you agree | Name the HTML file and agree | | Citations | Asks before geo citations, which spends API credit | Supply a key and approve | Fetched pages, robots.txt, llms.txt and sitemaps count as data. The skill tells Claude never to follow instructions found in them. ### Example You launched a small documentation site and want to know whether AI search can use it. ```text Audit https://yoursite.com for AI search visibility, then show me what you would fix ``` Claude runs geo audit and shows the score from 0 to 100 with a prioritized list of fixes. It then previews the fix files and writes nothing until you agree. After a yes, geo fix --apply puts robots.txt rules, llms.txt, JSON-LD and meta tags into a geo-fixes folder for you to upload. ### For newcomers and experts **If you are new.** AI answer engines pick a few pages and quote them. GEO means making your site easy to reach and easy to quote. Two files matter early. robots.txt tells crawlers whether they may come in, and llms.txt is a short map for AI agents. The README calls llms.txt a signal that is not a proven ranking factor. Start with the audit and read the top fixes. **For experts.** The default rubric v2 scores nine categories. The older rubric stays available for comparison with geo audit --score-version 1. The nine scored categories | Category | Points | What it looks at | | --- | --- | --- | | Google AI readiness | 20 | Indexing, snippets, canonical, dates, byline, links, viewport and sitemap | | Robots.txt | 14 | Googlebot and the citation bots | | Schema JSON-LD | 14 | Validity, richness and a visible name match | | Content | 14 | Headings, statistics, links, structure and image alt text | | Brand and entity | 12 | Brand coherence, Knowledge Graph links, about and contact pages | | Meta tags | 11 | Title, description and Open Graph | | llms.txt | 6 | Found, sections, links and llms-full.txt | | Signals | 6 | Page language, a feed and freshness | | AI endpoint files | 3 | ai.txt, summary.json and markdown negotiation | Ten more checks, such as prompt injection and RAG chunk readiness, are informational. Only the negative signals can deduct points, up to 5. These lines are from the README: ```bash geo audit --url https://yoursite.com --threshold 70 geo audit --sitemap https://yoursite.com/sitemap.xml --max-urls 25 geo llms --base-url https://yoursite.com --output ./public/llms.txt geo citations --brand "Acme" --domain acme.com ``` ### Good to know The program is free and MIT licensed, and nothing here needs the maker’s hosted service. - The skill is a rulebook. The program is the pip package, so install it before the skill can work. The plugin does not install it - Plugins: geo audit loads every installed check plugin unless Claude passes --no-plugins. Several other commands load them with no opt-out - Writing files: geo fix previews by default. With --apply it writes into ./geo-fixes/ and never edits your live site. geo schema --inject edits the HTML file you name, after saving a .bak copy - Citations: answers vary from run to run, so --runs 5 samples each question five times. Only some providers show their sources - Privacy: the skill says geo and geo-mcp have no telemetry and no update check. They fetch the address you audit and the AI provider you set up - Mismatches: docs/getting-started.md describes an older clone install. The README counts 12 MCP tools and docs/mcp-server.md says 10. The Astro integration’s own README says npm install where the main README says copy the folder - Maker: Juan Camilo Auriti at Auriti Labs. The names GEO Optimizer and GeoReady are covered by the maker’s name policy, and Mindket’s notes in the zip are not official ## README ```markdown # GEO Optimizer: setup notes This kit holds setup notes written by Mindket. It does not contain the geo program, the skill file, the plugin files, the MCP server or the context files. Those come from Auriti Labs’ repository and its Python package: https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill License: MIT, Copyright (c) 2026 Juan Camilo Auriti. Full text: https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill/blob/main/LICENSE The maker also publishes a name and logo policy (https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill/blob/main/TRADEMARKS.md). It says you may state that something is based on or compatible with GEO Optimizer, with a link to the repository, and asks that nobody present another product as GeoReady or as the official GEO Optimizer. These notes are Mindket’s and are not official. The pages these notes came from: the README (https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill/blob/main/README.md), SKILL.md, the plugin files in https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill/tree/main/plugins/geo-optimizer and .claude-plugin, install.sh, capabilities.json, docs/mcp-server.md and docs/getting-started.md. Mindket copied every command from those pages and ran none of them. The few lines that are Mindket’s or a standard tool’s say so where they appear. ## What it is A command-line program, geo, from the Python package geo-optimizer-skill. It scores a website from 0 to 100 on whether AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews) can crawl it, read it and quote it, then lists what to fix. It can also write the fix files, check which AI engines mention a brand, and run as an MCP server. The repository also holds a skill, geo-optimizer, which teaches Claude to run the program in the right order and with the right care. The skill does not contain the program. It has Claude check that geo is installed first, and stop if it is not. ## Files in this kit - setup/command-line.md: running geo with uvx or pip, a first audit, and the fix preview - setup/claude-code.md: the Claude Code plugin, the MCP server, and what the skill tells Claude to do - setup/mcp-clients.md: the MCP server in Cursor, Windsurf and other clients - setup/other-agents.md: the context files for Claude Projects, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf and Kiro - setup/ci-and-astro.md: the GitHub Action and the Astro integration ## What you need first - Python 3.10 or newer, for the pip routes. It is the README’s stated requirement. - pipx, only for the pipx line the SKILL.md offers beside pip. Without it, use pip. - uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for uvx and for the Claude Code plugin, which starts its MCP server with uvx. - The geo program itself, for the skill. The plugin does not install it. - No account and no API key for audits. Only geo citations needs one, from the AI provider you pick. ## What installs where - pip or pipx: the geo command, in that Python’s own environment. docs/mcp-server.md says the [mcp] extra adds the geo-mcp command and the MCP SDK. - uvx: nothing stays installed. It runs the package from a temporary environment. - The plugin: the skill file and an MCP server entry. Claude Code keeps the plugin files itself. - The audit’s files: reports and fix files go to the folder you run it from. The SKILL.md names ~/.geo-optimizer/tracking.db and ~/.geo-cache as places the history and cache options write. ## Your data The README says the program fetches only the address you audit and any AI provider you set up with your own key. The SKILL.md says geo and geo-mcp have no telemetry and no update check. Page addresses are checked against private network ranges before any fetch. geo citations sends the provider only the question texts, built from your topic or brand, and reads your key from the environment. What you type into your agent goes to that agent’s provider as in any other work. ## Things that do not match - docs/getting-started.md describes an older install: it clones the repository to ~/geo-optimizer-skill and makes a ./geo wrapper and an update.sh. The README, SKILL.md and install.sh now install the Python package with pip. These notes follow the README. - The README and SKILL.md count 12 MCP tools. docs/mcp-server.md’s heading says 10. - The repository’s root .mcp.json is not the install route. It points at a local .venv/bin/geo-mcp and at a second tool, graft. The plugin has its own .mcp.json. ## Update and remove The README gives no update or removal step. For the pip route, pip’s own commands apply: pip install -U geo-optimizer-skill is the README’s upgrade line, and pip uninstall geo-optimizer-skill removes the package. The second one is pip’s standard command, not the maker’s. The plugin updates and uninstalls through Claude Code’s /plugin menu. ``` ## What is in it 6 files, 19 KB, downloaded as a zip. ```text README.md 5 KB setup/ci-and-astro.md 2 KB setup/claude-code.md 4 KB setup/command-line.md 3 KB setup/mcp-clients.md 3 KB setup/other-agents.md 3 KB ``` ## Source [Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill on GitHub](https://github.com/Auriti-Labs/geo-optimizer-skill) ## Intro videos - [GEO Optimizer intro video 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Y1o649XSQ) ## What people say > Posts and comments that name this project on Hacker News, Bluesky, X, Reddit, Facebook and YouTube, found by a weekly search on 2026-11-09.
