ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews... The ways people search for and find information are evolving.
What Exactly Is GEO
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing a brand’s digital presence so it is discovered, cited, and recommended by generative AI systems.
Unlike traditional SEO, where we compete for positions in a list of results, in GEO we compete to become the source that AI chooses to mention when answering a question.
Key Differences Between SEO and GEO
In SEO
- We optimize for ranking algorithms
- We compete for positions in SERPs
- Backlinks are the primary authority factor
In GEO
- We optimize for language models
- We compete to be cited in generated responses
- Information coherence and consistency are essential
What Works in GEO
- Clear and consistent entity establishment
- Citable content with clear statements
- Authority signals on respected sources
- Well-implemented structured data
GEO does not replace SEO; it complements it. It adds an extra layer of visibility in a world where search is no longer limited to Google.
And like any investment, it only improves when measured. We explain how to measure your visibility in AI search engines so you can see whether ChatGPT or Perplexity already cite you in their answers.
