# On-Page GEO Patterns
> The content, metadata, and technical patterns of a product's most-cited pages — audited pattern by pattern, with the actual HTML as evidence.
The On-Page GEO Patterns tab \[Pro] shows the recurring on-page patterns across a product's most-cited pages — the up to 4 pages AI cited most this week, not a full-site audit. Use it to see where a product concentrates its on-page effort, then adapt the patterns that fit your own pages.
The tab is explicit about what is fact and what is inference. Patterns marked **OBSERVED** were found in the cited pages' actual HTML; anything marked **ESTIMATED** — including "why it might matter" interpretations — is analysis, not observation.
## Overall summary
**Where They Focus GEO** condenses the audit into one narrative: which of the three focus areas — **Content Structure**, **Meta Information**, and **Technical** — the product leans on for its AI visibility, with the observed patterns listed under each.
Below it, **What we observe · Why it might matter** splits the reading in two: what the cited pages actually do, and what that likely means for how AI extracts and cites them.
## The pattern-by-pattern audit
Each focus area has its own tab, opening with a note on what that signal group does for AI citation — and every pattern is a card showing:
* the pattern's **definition** (e.g. *Answer-first structure: the first sentence under the H1 gives a direct definition or summary of the topic*)
* how many of the cited pages it was observed on (e.g. **4/4**)
Expand a card for the **Pattern Summary** — how the product applies the pattern — and **Cited pages with evidence**: each cited URL with its citation count and the actual HTML snippet where the pattern appears.
Patterns the pages *don't* use are audited too, listed as **Not observed** — so you see not just what a top-ranked product does, but what it gets cited without.
