# GEO Technical SEO Audit

## Purpose

Technical SEO forms the foundation of both traditional search visibility and AI search citation. A technically broken site cannot be crawled, indexed, or cited by any platform. This skill audits 8 categories of technical health with specific attention to GEO requirements — most critically, **server-side rendering** (AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript) and **AI crawler access** (many sites inadvertently block AI crawlers in robots.txt).

## When to Use

- You need a Generative Engine Optimization task for a website: audit, citability, crawlers, schema, llms.txt, content, platform tuning, or client reporting.
- Run read-only analysis first; propose site changes before making any.

## Limitations

- Audits are read-only analysis; never publish, deploy, or modify the target site without explicit approval.
- Scores and citation likelihoods are heuristics, not guarantees from AI search platforms.
- Docs-only import: upstream scripts, agents, hooks, and schema templates are not bundled.

### Example

```bash
curl -s https://example.com/robots.txt
curl -s https://example.com/llms.txt
```
