SEO & GEO Audit · June 2026

Flowgear — search and AI visibility

Next.js launch at www.flowgear.net — Google AI, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude

276 Codex handoff tasks 237 pages audited 202 on-page suggestions (review only) 4 AI bots checked

Executive summary

We audited 237 URLs from sitemap.xml on the new Next.js site (Build 2026.06.28). The homepage has a strong title, meta description, canonical, Open Graph (including og:image), single H1, and Organization JSON-LD in the root layout. Connector templates include FAQPage schema. Remaining work is mostly meta snippet quality on thin pages, page-specific social images (many routes still use /og/default.png), WebSite schema, legacy WordPress redirects, and optional llms.txt for Lens B.

For Google AI, crawl and snippet eligibility look healthy. For ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, prioritize extractability on hub pages, entity consistency (sameAs), and customer-story corroboration — documented in the boost summary without mandating visible copy changes.

Compared to the previous audit (WordPress, 2071 URLs)

Verdict: materially better on technical baseline. Materially better technical foundation on the Next.js launch: default social images, Organization schema, FAQPage on connectors, and a curated 237-URL sitemap. Remaining work is meta snippet quality on thin pages, page-specific OG assets, WebSite schema, legacy redirects, and optional on-page GEO depth (review lane).

  • Improved: default OG/Twitter images site-wide; Organization schema; FAQPage on connectors; curated sitemap (237 URLs vs 2,071); Next.js metadata pipeline.
  • Resolved: ~1,800 missing og:image tasks from the WordPress crawl.
  • New focus: 276 handoff tasks (technical + meta + alt); 202 on-page items in review lane only.
  • Scope change: intentional URL reduction — less long-tail index surface, higher quality per route.

Quick wins (Codex handoff)

  1. Add WebSite schema — link publisher to Organization in root layout.
  2. Improve thin meta descriptions on legal and short pages — aim for clear, compelling summaries (120–160 chars is a working target, not a hard rule).
  3. Page-specific og:image on platform, pricing, and top connector routes.
  4. 301 redirects for high-traffic legacy WordPress paths (/about-us/, old integration URLs).
  5. Publish llms.txt — optional map of hub pages for Perplexity and Lens B tools.
  6. Image alt text — apply handoff suggestions on templates with missing alts.

GEO myths (Google-scoped)

llms.txt — optional for ChatGPT/Perplexity; not a Google AI Overviews ranking factor.

FAQPage schema — rich results + Lens B extractability when visible FAQ content exists; not required for AI Overviews.

AI tone rewrites — do not rewrite on-page copy for algorithms; Flowgear copy is approved as-is.

Fan-out query pages — avoid thin programmatic URL spam; the 237-URL sitemap is appropriately curated.

SEO & GEO explained

SEO (Lens A) covers crawlability, indexation, snippet quality, and structured data for Google Search and Google AI features backed by the index. GEO (Lens B) covers how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot retrieve, cite, and summarise your content — crawler access, extractability, entity clarity, citations, and optional files like llms.txt. This audit tags tasks by platform where advice diverges.
