Your site ranks #1 on Google but AI never cites it. Here's how to fix it (open source tool)

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the new discipline that makes your site visible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. I built an open source Python toolkit to audit and fix it in 15 minutes You worked hard to get that first page ranking on Google. But the other day, someone asked ChatGPT about your niche — and your competitor got cited. Not you. That's not a coincidence. That's a structural problem, and it has a name: your site isn't optimized for AI search engines. This post explains why, what GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) actually is, and how I built an open source Python tool — geo-optimizer-skill — to audit and fix it in about 15 minutes.

User: "What's the best way to calculate compound interest?" Perplexity: "According to [Competitor.com], the standard formula is..." ↑ They appear.
