What is GEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes content for AI-powered answer engines. This package generates standard files that AI engines use to understand and index your website.

• CLI Tool: Simple command-line interface
• Two Modes: Local markdown files OR Firecrawl API (for dynamic sites)
• Content Arrays: Direct support for database-stored content
• Platform Ready: WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, Symfony integrations

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+
• Composer
• Extensions: json, simplexml, yaml

Installation

composer require wzj177/geo-friendly

Quick Start

Method 1: CLI Tool (Recommended for static sites)

# Create config file
vendor/bin/geo init

# Edit geofriendly.yaml, then generate
vendor/bin/geo generate

geofriendly.yaml:

title: 'My Site'
url: 'https://example.com'
contentDir: './content'  # Local markdown files
outDir: './public'

Method 2: Content Arrays (For database content)

use GeoFriendly\GeoFriendly;

$contents = [
    [
        'title' => 'Getting Started',
        'url' => '/getting-started',
        'content' => '# Getting Started\n\nThis is the content...',
        'description' => 'Learn how to get started',
        'category' => 'guide',
    ],
    [
        'title' => 'API Reference',
        'url' => '/api/reference',
        'content' => '# API Reference\n\n...',
        'description' => 'Complete API documentation',
        'category' => 'api',
    ],
];

$config = [
    'title' => 'My Documentation',
    'url' => 'https://docs.example.com',
    'outDir' => __DIR__ . '/public',
    'contents' => $contents,  // Pass content array
];

$geo = new GeoFriendly($config);
[$generated, $errors] = $geo->generate();

Method 3: Firecrawl (For any website)

title: 'My Store'
url: 'https://store.example.com'
contentDir: ''  # Empty = use Firecrawl
firecrawl:
  apiKey: 'your-api-key'
  enabled: true

Generated Files

CLI Commands

vendor/bin/geo generate          # Generate all files
vendor/bin/geo init             # Create geofriendly.yaml
vendor/bin/geo check            # Audit GEO status
vendor/bin/geo report           # Generate detailed report

Content Array Format

When passing content from database:

$contents = [
    [
        'title' => string,        // Required: Page title
        'url' => string,          // Required: Page URL (e.g., '/getting-started')
        'content' => string,      // Required: Markdown content
        'description' => string,  // Optional: AI-friendly description (9-10 words)
        'category' => string,     // Optional: Content category
        'tags' => array,          // Optional: Content tags
    ],
    // ... more items
];

Usage Scenarios

1. Static Sites with Markdown (VitePress, Docusaurus, Hugo)

title: 'My Docs'
url: 'https://docs.example.com'
contentDir: './content'
firecrawl:
  enabled: false

Example: examples/vitepress-site

2. Dynamic Sites (WordPress, Shopify)

title: 'My WordPress Site'
url: 'https://mysite.com'
contentDir: ''
firecrawl:
  apiKey: '%env(FIRECRAWL_API_KEY)%'
  enabled: true

Example: examples/wordpress-firecrawl

3. Custom Backend (SaaS, Enterprise)

// Fetch from database
$contents = Content::where('status', 'published')
    ->get()
    ->map(fn($c) => [
        'title' => $c->title,
        'url' => $c->slug,
        'content' => $c->markdown_content,
        'description' => $c->description,
    ])
    ->toArray();

$config = [
    'title' => 'My Platform',
    'url' => 'https://app.example.com',
    'outDir' => storage_path('geo'),
    'contents' => $contents,
];

$geo = new GeoFriendly($config);
[$generated, $errors] = $geo->generate();
