GEO Audit Report — github/gh-aw

Audit Date: 2026-05-15
Run: §25930452131

📊 Scores

Target	Score	Band
Docs site (`github.github.com/gh-aw/`)	38/100	Foundation
README (`github.com/github/gh-aw`)	55/100	Foundation

Both targets are in the Foundation band — functional but with significant gaps preventing reliable AI engine citation.

✅ Top Strengths

AI bots fully unblocked (README): robots.txt on github.com allows 27 AI crawlers including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and more. Score: 15/18.
llms.txt present (README): 2,873 words with 11 sections, 117 links, and a blockquote. Score: 14/18.
Excellent meta tags (Docs site): Full title, description, canonical, OG tags all present. Score: 14/14.
Content structure: Both targets have rich headings, lists/tables, front-loaded key info, and word counts >1,000.
Technical trust (README): Full marks (5/5) — HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options all present.
Freshness & RSS (Docs site): RSS feed and dateModified signals detected.

🚨 Critical Gaps

No robots.txt on the docs site — github.github.com/gh-aw/ has no robots.txt. Score: 0/18. AI crawlers fall back to defaults and may not index the site.
No /llms.txt on the docs site — Score: 0/18. LLM-friendly site summary missing from the docs domain.
No JSON-LD schema on the README — Score: 0/16. GitHub's repo page has zero structured data types. The docs site has partial schema (7/16) but is missing @context fields.
No AI discovery endpoints anywhere — Both targets score 0/6. Missing: /.well-known/ai.txt, /ai/summary.json, /ai/faq.json, /ai/service.json.
No sitemap on docs site — sitemap.xml returns 404. Sitemap-wide audit could not run.

📄 Sitemap Audit

https://github.github.com/gh-aw/sitemap.xml returned 404 Not Found. No sitemap-wide page audit was possible.

Recommended action: Generate a sitemap.xml for the Astro Starlight docs site and reference it from robots.txt. This is required for the sitemap audit to run in future cycles.
