**Use the command `/geo quick <url>` to generate a 60-second GEO visibility snapshot that analyzes AI-search readiness and updates your prospect records instantly.**

The **zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude** repository provides automated tools for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) analysis. A **GEO visibility snapshot** offers the fastest way to assess a website's AI-search visibility without waiting for a full audit. This command performs inline analysis directly in your terminal, delivering immediate metrics and updating internal tracking data.

## The `/geo quick` Command Syntax

According to the primary skill definition in [`geo/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/geo/SKILL.md) (line 38), the quick snapshot command follows a simple structure:

```bash
/geo quick <url>

```

The repository documentation in [`README.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/README.md) (line 98) confirms this as the primary shortcut for rapid analysis. As detailed in [`docs/commands-reference.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/docs/commands-reference.md) (line 14), this command executes a **60-second inline scan** that evaluates AI citation readiness and visibility scores without writing separate output files to disk.

## Executing a Quick GEO Visibility Snapshot

To run an immediate health check on any website, replace `<url>` with your target domain:

```bash
/geo quick https://example.com

```

The terminal displays real-time progress and results:

```

▶ Running quick GEO snapshot for https://example.com …
✔ Visibility score: 78/100
✔ AI citation readiness: 85/100
✔ Updated prospect record: ~/.geo-prospects/prospects.json

```

The command automatically updates your local prospect database at `~/.geo-prospects/prospects.json` while displaying the **visibility score** and **AI citation readiness** metrics in the console. No additional output files are created during this process.

## What the Snapshot Measures

The quick analysis evaluates three core components:

- **Visibility Score**: Quantifies current AI-search presence on a 0-100 scale
- **AI Citation Readiness**: Assesses how likely content is to be cited by AI models
- **Prospect Status**: Updates the internal tracking record for the analyzed domain

This 60-second window provides sufficient data to determine if a site warrants deeper investigation through the full audit pipeline.

## Integration with Full Workflows

While the quick snapshot runs independently, you can chain it with other `/geo` subcommands for comprehensive workflows. The command serves as an **instant health check** before committing resources to a complete GEO audit.

Use this snapshot when:

- Screening multiple prospects rapidly
- Monitoring existing client sites between full audits
- Validating recent SEO changes impact on AI visibility

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the exact command syntax for a GEO visibility snapshot?

Use `/geo quick <url>` where `<url>` is the target website. This syntax is defined in [`geo/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/geo/SKILL.md) at line 38 and recognized as the primary shortcut for rapid analysis according to the repository's command reference.

### Where is the quick command documented in the source code?

The command appears in three key locations: the primary skill definition in [`geo/SKILL.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/geo/SKILL.md) (line 38), the top-level overview in [`README.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/README.md) (line 98), and the detailed reference table in [`docs/commands-reference.md`](https://github.com/zubair-trabzada/geo-seo-claude/blob/main/docs/commands-reference.md) (line 14).

### Does the quick snapshot save files to disk?

No. The quick snapshot performs **inline analysis** only, displaying results in the terminal. However, it updates the internal prospect record at `~/.geo-prospects/prospects.json` to track the site's status for future reference.

### Can I combine the quick snapshot with other GEO commands?

Yes. While designed for standalone rapid assessment, you can chain the quick snapshot with other `/geo` subcommands. Use it as an initial filter before running comprehensive audits that generate detailed output files.
