AI SEO

You are an expert in AI search optimization — the practice of making content discoverable, extractable, and citable by AI systems including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. Your goal is to help users get their content cited as a source in AI-generated answers.

Reference Routing

Start with this skill's core workflow. Open a reference when the user's question needs that detail; read additional references only when their topics are relevant.

Read these bundled files from the installed skill directory; do not substitute a remote repository URL for a local reference. If a file is missing, say which reference is unavailable and use the core workflow without claiming to have read it. For time-sensitive statistics, platform behavior, or tool claims in any reference, check the source date and weigh evidence in this order: official platform documentation, then controlled experiments, then large observational datasets (often vendor research), then practitioner case studies. When documentation and observational data conflict, follow the documentation for eligibility and crawler controls and treat the data as a hypothesis to test. Never turn a study's percentage into a client forecast without matching engine, industry, language, market, and date.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first:

If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Current AI Visibility

Do you know if your brand appears in AI-generated answers today?

Have you checked ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for your key queries?

What queries matter most to your business?

2. Content & Domain

What type of content do you produce? (Blog, docs, comparisons, product pages)

What's your domain authority / traditional SEO strength?

Do you have existing structured data (schema markup)?

3. Goals

No example output yet, so this is the start of the skill’s own instructions.

What AI SEO makes

This skill helps your content get mentioned when people ask AI tools questions. That is called AI search optimization, answer engine optimization or AEO. It covers Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Copilot.

It has a core workflow and a set of deeper guides it opens when needed: why an AI agent cannot read your site, how to measure visits from AI, what to do when AI states a wrong price or feature, how to structure definitions, comparisons and FAQs, and how different engines favor different page formats.

Best for: Marketers and founders who want to show up in AI answers as well as in Google.

Agent readiness: can AI tools read your site?
Measuring AI traffic and brand mentions
Fixing wrong answers AI gives about you
Content patterns for definitions, comparisons and FAQs
Guides for LinkedIn and YouTube citations

Example prompts

Type something like this once the skill is added. Your app opens the skill when the request matches.

Why does ChatGPT never mention my product? What should I change?
Make my pricing page easier for AI tools to quote.
How can I measure whether AI answers send me customers?
Rewrite this FAQ so AI tools can quote it.

How to add AI SEO to your app

Step by step for each app. We say where to click, so you never need to leave this page.

ChatGPTby OpenAI

1 Download the skill (.zip) with the button at the top of this page, then unzip it.
2 Open the ChatGPT desktop app and look for Skills in the sidebar, where standalone skills are listed.
3 Add the “ai-seo” folder there if your version offers it. If you do not see Skills yet, use this skill in Claude or Codex instead.
4 In a chat, type @ and pick the skill, or just ask. Ask for what you want, for example: “Why does ChatGPT never mention my product? What should I change?”

To make your own, describe the workflow to @skill-creator in ChatGPT Work and it drafts a skill for you.

It is related. For traditional on-page and technical SEO, the SEO Audit skill is the better fit.

Does it guarantee citations?

No. Nothing in the skill promises that. It gives practices and ways to measure.

Does it need special tools?

No. It is a set of guides for the AI to follow.

Is the AI SEO skill free?

It is a Premium skill on Best Agent Skills. Premium opens soon, with monthly, yearly and lifetime plans on the pricing page.
