Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
Learn what Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) means in modern AI search.
The practice of optimizing content to be retrieved, cited, and recommended by generative AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
GEO is the AI-era cousin of SEO. It overlaps heavily with classic SEO (good content, clean structure, schema, fast pages) but adds engine-specific patterns: passage-level retrievability, citation-worthy formatting, entity authority signals, and content that survives the freshness gap between training data and real time.
In 2026, the smart move is to treat GEO and SEO as one unified practice — the fundamentals are identical, the differences are at the margins. Tools that track AI citation rates alongside traditional rankings are the new agency standard.
