What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your online presence to be cited, referenced, and recommended by AI-powered search engines and assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.

Why GEO Matters Now

AI search is growing exponentially. ChatGPT has 300M+ weekly users. Perplexity processes 100M+ queries monthly. Google AI Overviews appear on 30%+ of searches. If AI doesn't mention your brand, you're invisible to a growing segment of searchers.

GEO vs SEO

Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links. GEO optimizes for being cited in a generated response. The skills overlap but the strategies differ significantly.
