What Is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of shaping content so AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Copilot quote it directly. Unlike traditional SEO, which chases link‑clicks, GEO seeks citation inside AI‑generated answers. As AI‑driven answers now appear on roughly half of Google searches and many users bypass the SERP entirely, being the source of those answers becomes a new visibility frontier. The approach blends structured data, clear answer blocks, and third‑party presence to earn trust from the AI layer.
