GEO Checklist for AI Search

A practical 20-point checklist for GEO (generative engine optimization): the work that makes a business easy for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and cite. Each check explains why it matters, how to verify it, its priority and the effort involved.

Curated by 313 Automations, an AI automation, web and SEO/GEO agency in Lahore, Pakistan (founded 2018).

Use it interactively in the free GEO Readiness Checklist Space.

Columns

Column	Description
`id`	Row number
`category`	Entity and identity, Content, Technical or Off-site signals
`check`	What should be true for the website
`why_it_matters`	Why the check helps AI search visibility
`how_to_verify`	A concrete way to confirm it
`priority`	High, Medium or Low
`effort`	Typical effort: High, Medium or Low

Intended use

Auditing a website for AI search readiness
Planning SEO and GEO work by priority and effort
Training and workshops on generative engine optimization

Limitations

The checklist reflects widely used SEO and GEO practice as of 2026. No single item guarantees that an AI system will cite a website; assistants use different sources, crawlers and ranking methods, and these change over time. Crawler names in the robots.txt check are examples, not a complete list.
