GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation
Optimising brand content to be cited, summarized, and recommended in AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews)
In Simple Words (Zero Jargon):
The new version of SEO: making sure ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI mention and recommend your brand when people ask them questions.
Why It Is Critical
Ranking #1 on a traditional search page no longer guarantees traffic if Google’s AI Overview answers the query directly at the top. GEO focuses on being the primary cited source the AI draws from.
'Ranking #1 on a traditional search results page and being the source an AI model cites are no longer the same goal - a page can rank well organically and still never get mentioned in an AI answer, or vice versa.'
What You Get: Visibility in the AI answer itself, in a search landscape where fewer users ever scroll to traditional blue links.
