What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand's content to appear in AI-generated answers — the responses from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and other LLM-powered search tools.

Traditional SEO focuses on Google's blue links. GEO focuses on getting your brand mentioned, recommended, and cited by AI assistants.
