What Is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the next frontier of search visibility. Instead of ranking in traditional blue links, GEO focuses on making your content the go-to source that AI engines cite when generating answers for users.

With 40% of Google searches now triggering AI Overviews, brands that don't optimize for generative engines risk becoming invisible to a growing segment of search users.
