Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
The next evolution of SEO. Optimize your content for AI-powered generative search engines that are reshaping how people find information online.
What is Generative Engine Optimization?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing digital content to rank prominently within AI-generated responses from Large Language Models like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's SGE (Search Generative Experience).
Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on ranking in blue links, GEO ensures your content is:
- Cited as a source in AI-generated answers
