Generative engine optimization (GEO)
Shaping content so AI answer engines and assistants cite it accurately, extending SEO to generative search.
Definition
GEO focuses on making pages quotable and verifiable: direct answers near the top, clear headings, factual statements with sources, structured data, consistent entity descriptions, and machine-readable summaries such as llms.txt. It also involves monitoring how AI engines describe your brand and correcting errors at the source.
Why it matters when choosing a tool
As more discovery happens through AI answers, GEO determines whether your product or content is represented, and represented correctly.
