What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Direct AEO Answer / Definition

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is making a brand and its content easy for generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and cite when they write an answer. It depends on clear entities, consistent facts across the web, specific evidence and machine-readable structure.

What GEO work involves

  • A consistent entity: the same name, description and facts on your site, LinkedIn and other profiles, linked with sameAs schema.
  • Specific, verifiable claims and data that a model can cite.
  • Clear structure and an llms.txt file that points AI tools to your key pages.
  • Allowing AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended) in robots.txt.
