GEO-16, a novel 16 pillar auditing framework, aims to quantify the quality of web sources cited by AI answer engines. By assessing 1,100 unique URLs through a combination of metrics such as Metadata, Freshness, and Structured Data, the study reveals significant insights into which aspects of web content lead to higher citation. The findings indicate that a GEO score of at least 0.70, along with 12 pillar hits, correlates with improved citation rates across the examined engines.
This research highlights the importance of web content quality in the context of AI and digital information retrieval. It serves as a practical playbook for publishers, providing actionable advice to enhance their digital presence. However, limitations exist, particularly concerning language and scope, which could affect the reproducibility of results. Potential risks include overreliance on specific metrics that may not universally apply across different domains or languages.
