What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing content for AI search engines and recommendation systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini.

GEO vs SEO

While SEO optimizes for traditional search engine rankings, GEO optimizes for AI-generated responses. AI systems retrieve and synthesize information differently than search engines index pages.

Key GEO Techniques
