What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is visibility in AI answers: making sure ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your business as the answer.

Search engines are becoming answer engines

More and more people don't ask ten blue links, they ask an AI that gives one answer. That answer only has room for a handful of sources. So the question is no longer just "am I ranking at the top?" but: am I the source that gets cited?

97%
of AI answers contain at least one source from the Google top 20. Ranking is still the gateway: if you're not findable, you don't get cited either.

The five building blocks of GEO

01SEO foundation & AI access. Strong Google rankings, and AI bots that are allowed to read your site. Block crawlers, and you don't exist for AI.
02Citeable content. Opens with a clear "In short," facts backed by sources, structure that's easy to quote.
03Entity & brand authority. One consistent brand name and organization details, also in schema markup, so AI knows who you are.
04Earned media. Most AI citations come from sites other than your own: mentions, reviews and trade media carry real weight.
05Measurement per AI platform. Weekly, per engine: are you being mentioned, and are you used as a source?

Measuring: are you already being mentioned?

Visibility in AI is measurable. Every week we check, per engine, whether your site is mentioned or used as a source:

Google AI Overviews✓ source
ChatGPT✓ mentioned
Claude✓ mentioned
Perplexitypending

Example view with illustrative statuses. Your dashboard shows your own measurement.

SEO and GEO: one foundation

GEO isn't a second service alongside SEO. What makes Google rank you (depth, structure, sources, authority) is exactly what makes AI cite you. You build one foundation and become visible in two places: in the search results, and in the answer. For what SEO actually involves, see what is SEO.
