Content optimization (often using other GEO skills) 2. Multi-platform publishing & distribution 3. AI crawler and generative engine signaling This skill focuses on **workflow design, orchestration, and packaging**, not on replacing the specialized GEO skills (like optimizers or schema generators). It should **coordinate** them. --- ## When to use this skill Invoke this skill **whenever**: - The user has (or plans to have) GEO-optimized content and asks to: - Publish it to multiple channels (website, blog, docs, product pages, social media, newsletter, etc.) - Turn one “pillar” piece into multiple **channel-specific variants** - Plan and schedule a **content release campaign** around one or more GEO pages - The user wants their content to be: - **Highly visible to AI search / generative engines** (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, SGE) - Properly surfaced to crawlers via **sitemaps, llms.txt, Schema.org, and internal linking** - The user mentions: - “End-to-end GEO workflow”, “full-funnel GEO content”, “publish to multiple platforms” - “Syndicate this article”, “turn into LinkedIn + Twitter + newsletter” - “Push this new page so AI models can see it”, “make AI pick up this content” Do **not** limit triggering only to the exact keywords above; trigger whenever the **intent** is: “Take optimized content and push it out broadly in a GEO-conscious way.” --- ## Relationship to other GEO skills When available, this skill should **coordinate** with these skills rather than re-implement them: - `geo-studio`: for overall GEO strategy and prioritization - `geo-content-optimizer`: to refine content before publishing - `geo-structured-writer`: to structure longform pages into AI-readable layouts - `geo-schema-gen`: to generate and refine Schema.org JSON-LD - `geo-llms-txt`: to design or update `llms.txt` and AI-targeted index pages - `geo-multimodal-tagger`: to optimize images, videos, and other media assets If these skills are not present, still follow the same **workflow shape** and explain what would be done, giving concrete, actionable outputs (copy, checklists, suggested structures). --- ## High-level workflow When this skill is used, follow this **9-step workflow** unless the user explicitly asks for only a subset. ### 1. Clarify publishing goals and constraints Briefly but explicitly identify: - **Core asset(s)**: - What is the main piece? (article, landing page, docs, FAQ, product page, dataset, video, etc.) - Is it already written and optimized, or still in draft? - **Primary GEO goal**: - e.g., “be the default answer for X in AI search”, “own intent Y”, “support product feature Z” - **Target audience and geography**: - Who needs to see this? Any language/locale requirements? - **Time horizon**: - One-off launch vs. ongoing campaign; any hard launch dates? - **Channels in scope**: - Website main page, blog, docs, product catalog, knowledge base - Social platforms (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, etc.) - Email/newsletter, in-app messages, app store descriptions, etc. - **User’s stack constraints (if provided)**: - CMS used (WordPress, Webflow, headless, custom) - Any platforms that are off-limits Output a short **“Publishing Brief”** section summarizing this in 5–10 bullet points. ### 2. Inventory and (if needed) optimize the source content - If content is **already optimized**: - Quickly check for obvious GEO gaps: structure, headings, FAQs, internal links, schemas, media. - If another optimizer skill is available, call it or conceptually apply its workflow. - If content is **not optimized yet**: - Recommend running `geo-content-optimizer` and/or `geo-structured-writer` first. - If the user insists on skipping deep optimization, still: - Ensure basic structure (H1, H2/H3, clear sections) - Add an FAQ or Q&A block where appropriate - Suggest at least a minimal internal-link plan Produce a concise **“Content Readiness”** section with: - Key strengths for GEO - Gaps that need to be addressed before or during publishing - Whether you will optimize inline or rely on another skill ### 3. Design the channel strategy and mapping Create a **channel plan** that maps the core asset to multiple formats and entry-points. - Decide which channels are **primary** (SEO/GEO anchors) and which are **supporting** (distribution). - For each channel, define: - **Role** (e.g., “anchor page for AI citations”, “social proof amplifier”, “email follow-up”) - **Key message focus** and adaptation (tone, length, proof level, CTA) - **Linking strategy** (which canonical URL to point to; how it supports the GEO target) - **Cadence** if multi-post/ongoing (e.g., 1 hero launch + 3 follow-ups) Output as a **markdown table** like: ```markdown | Channel | Role | Format / Asset Type | Primary CTA | Links to / Canonical | |-------------|-----------------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------| | Website LP | GEO anchor & canonical URL | Longform landing page | Start trial / Request demo | Self (canonical) | | Blog | Context + educational angle | Article with FAQ | Read full guide (LP) | LP | | LinkedIn | Thought leadership & reach | Post + carousel | Visit LP + comment | LP | | Newsletter | Deep-dive for subscribers | Email + link to LP/blog | Click to read full article | LP / Blog | ``` ### 4. Generate channel-specific content variants For each channel in the plan, **generate or refine** content variants that: - Respect channel constraints: - Length and formatting (e.g., LinkedIn vs. Twitter vs. email) - Visual vs. text-heavy - Preserve **core GEO messaging**: - Clear description of topic / entity / product - Concrete facts that models can safely cite - Stable terminology and entity naming - Include **explicit citation anchors** where helpful: - “According to [BrandName]’s guide on [topic]…” - Short, self-contained definitions that AI can safely quote Outputs for this step: - A section `## Channel Content Variants` with subheadings: - `### Website / Landing Page` - `### Blog Article` - `### Documentation / Knowledge Base` - `### Social (per platform)` - `### Newsletter / Email` - `### Other (e.g. app store, in-app banner, etc.)` - Under each, provide **ready-to-use** drafts (copy, suggested headings, bullets, CTAs). ### 5. Structure pages for AI readability For **web and longform** surfaces (website, blog, docs, KB): - Ensure the following structure (can be customized per page type): ```markdown # [Clear, entity-focused H1] ## Summary - 2–4 bullet summary focused on facts and definitions. ## What is [Topic]? Explain in clear, fact-focused language that is easy to quote. ## Why it matters Explain use cases, benefits, risks, etc. ## How [Brand/Product] helps Connect topic to the user’s product/service, if relevant. ## FAQ Q1: ... A1: ... Q2: ... A2: ... ``` - If `geo-structured-writer` is available, mention that this layout follows its guidance or that it could further refine the structure. - Explicitly call out **sections that are especially useful for AI citation** (definitions, FAQs, concise summaries). ### 6. Attach structured data and media metadata For all relevant pages: - Use or conceptually apply `geo-schema-gen` to propose: - `Article`, `BlogPosting`, `WebPage`, `FAQPage`, `Product`, or `HowTo` schemas as appropriate. - Include key fields: `headline`, `description`, `url`, `author`, `publisher`, `datePublished`, `mainEntityOfPage`, etc. - For images and videos: - Use or conceptually apply `geo-multimodal-tagger` to generate: - Descriptive but concise **alt text** - **File names** that reflect the topic/entity - Optional `ImageObject` / `VideoObject` schemas. Output: - A section `## Structured Data Package` that includes: - JSON-LD snippets (as code blocks) - A table mapping URLs to the schema types you recommend - Example alt text and filenames for key media assets ### 7. Plan the technical publishing steps You **do not** have direct access to the user’s CMS or APIs, so your job is to: - Produce **implementation checklists** for each major system: - CMS / website - Blog / docs / knowledge base - Email platform - Social scheduling tool(s) - For each checklist, include: - Fields and settings that must be filled (titles, meta descriptions, slugs, canonical URLs) - How to embed JSON-LD (theme template, tag manager, custom HTML, etc.) - How to ensure **clean URLs** and avoid duplicate URLs that dilute GEO signals - Any caching or build/deploy steps (for static / headless setups) Output: - A section `## Implementation Checklists` with subsections per system, using bullet lists. ### 8. AI crawler and generative engine signaling This step focuses on making the new/updated content more easily discoverable by: - Classical search crawlers (Google, Bing, etc.) - AI-specific crawlers and model ingestion systems where possible Actions to recommend: - **Sitemaps** - Confirm new URLs appear in the appropriate XML sitemaps (and HTML sitemaps if applicable). - If the user runs a headless or static site, specify where sitemaps are typically located and how they may be updated or regenerated. - **llms.txt and AI index pages** - Use or conceptually apply `geo-llms-txt` to: - Add or update entries pointing to the new content. - Group related content into clearly named sections (e.g., “Pricing guides”, “Implementation playbooks”, “Product docs for X”). - **Internal linking** - Suggest 5–20 **high-value internal link targets** that should now link to this new content. - Prioritize pages that: - Already rank / are cited for the same or adjacent intent - Are high-traffic or high-authority - **External exposure** - Propose low-friction actions to get early references: - Share with partners - Answer relevant questions on communities/QA platforms, linking to the canonical page Output: - A section `## AI & Crawler Signaling Plan` with: - A bullet checklist of concrete steps - A small table listing “URL → sitemap / llms.txt / internal link recommendations” ### 9. Final publishing plan and timeline Summarize everything into a **single, execution-ready publishing plan**: - **Timeline** (at least ordered steps; include dates if user provided them) - **Who does what** (if roles or teams are known or can be implied) - **Dependencies** (e.g., “publish LP before social”, “schema update before PR push”) - **Success metrics** that are realistic for GEO: - e.g., increased impressions/clicks from AI search, number of AI citations found in answers, traffic and engagement for target pages, newsletter clicks, etc. Output: - A `## Final Plan` section with: - A short executive summary (3–6 bullets) - A step-by-step list (checklist style) - A compact table of “Metric → Why it matters → How to measure” --- ## Output format Unless the user explicitly requests a different format, structure your answer as: 1. `## Publishing Brief` 2. `## Content Readiness` 3. `## Channel Strategy` 4. `## Channel Content Variants` 5. `## Page Structure for AI Readability` 6. `## Structured Data Package` 7. `## Implementation Checklists` 8. `## AI & Crawler Signaling Plan` 9. `## Final Plan` Use: - **Markdown headings and tables** for structure - Bulleted lists instead of dense paragraphs - Short, actionable sentences suitable for copying into task trackers, docs, or briefs If the user only asks for a **subset** (e.g., “social posts + email only”), still keep the headings but clearly mark skipped sections (e.g., “Not in scope for this request”). --- ## Examples of triggering prompts These are **example user prompts** that should trigger this skill (for reference; not user-facing): - “We just finished a GEO-optimized pillar article about ‘zero-trust data governance’. Help me turn this into a full publishing plan: main page + blog + docs + LinkedIn + newsletter, and make sure AI models will pick it up.” - “I’ve got a new product feature page and I want it to become the default answer in ChatGPT and Perplexity when people ask about [topic]. Can you help me design the publishing and distribution workflow?” - “Take this case study and roll it out everywhere: website hero section, landing page, PDF, LinkedIn, X, email, internal wiki. Also suggest how to configure llms.txt and sitemaps so AI crawlers see it.” - “I want a repeatable playbook for how we publish any new GEO content across our whole stack (WP site, HubSpot email, LinkedIn, X). Please write the workflow and checklists.” You do **not** need to surface this list directly to the user; it is here to clarify intent. ---
