The content audit spreadsheet is a graveyard. Break it up into approvable diffs and you ship instead of scoping.
- Audit by silo, not by site.
- Every row ends in one of: keep, update, merge, delete.
- Ship the updates as diffs.
- Re-audit the silo 60 days later.
The four decisions
Every URL fits one.
- Keep — high traffic, still relevant
- Update — traffic decaying but topic alive
- Merge — cannibalization or thin overlap
- Delete — outdated and no traffic
Inside WBP Omni SEO Pro: GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation
Optimisation for how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews retrieve and cite your content — llms.txt, extractability, factual density and citation-worthy formatting.
Why this matters for "Content Audit That Actually Ships Changes": AI answer engines route intent before the SERP does; being invisible to them is being invisible to the top of the funnel.
- 1Step 1
Enable GEO mode in SEO Features
- 2Step 2
Publish llms.txt with cited pages and license terms
- 3Step 3
Audit posts for extractability (short facts, clear headings, TL;DR)
- 4Step 4
Track citations in the AI Rank Tracker weekly
"Winning SEO in 2020 was ranking a page; winning GEO in 2026 is being quoted on one."

Pick one silo, fix its schema and internal linking first, and measure before touching anything else. A tight win on one silo beats a scattered pass across the whole site.
"The unit of SEO work stopped being a report and started being a merged change. Everything else is theatre."
— WBP Editorial
Paired module: Brand Authority (Fact Bank + Entities)
A structured store of your brand facts, statistics, quotes, entity graph and NAP that feeds schema, AI answers and content briefs. LLMs cite sources they can reconcile; a Fact Bank makes your facts reconcilable across every page.
- Brand Authority → Fact Bank → Add facts with citations
- Attach entities and sameAs targets to key concepts
- Reference facts in posts with a shortcode or block
- Expose the Fact Bank as machine-readable JSON for LLMs
How often to audit?
One silo per quarter for most sites.
Should I noindex or delete losers?
Delete + 301 to a relevant survivor. Noindex is a middle ground with no upside.
Is GEO just SEO with new labels?
It shares the discovery layer, but the ranking function is different — LLMs weight extractability, factual density and entity clarity far more than backlinks.
Is the Fact Bank public?
You choose — publish as a JSON feed for LLMs, gate it behind auth, or keep it purely as a CMS-side source of truth for editors.
