GEO Technical SEO Audit

Purpose

Foundation audit for both traditional search and AI citation. Most critical GEO gates: server-side rendering (AI crawlers do not execute JavaScript) and AI crawler access (sites often inadvertently block AI bots in robots.txt). 8 categories, 100 points.

How to Use This Skill

1. Collect target URL (homepage + 2-3 key inner pages)
2. Fetch each page using curl/WebFetch — get raw HTML + HTTP headers
3. Run through each of the 8 audit categories below
4. Score using the rubric
5. Generate GEO-TECHNICAL-AUDIT.md (template at end)

Sub-check details, fix lists, framework-specific SSR solutions, and the IndexNow protocol explainer are in checks.md alongside this file. Reference it as needed.

Category 1: Crawlability (15 pts)
