Question 1

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

GEO is optimizing your content so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — cite it in their answers. As AI summaries cut click-through rates, being named inside the answer matters more than ranking in the blue links. About 80% of GEO is solid SEO; the rest is structure, answer-first writing, and credibility.

Question 2

Is GEO replacing SEO?

Accepted Answer

No — it builds on it. Most AI citations still come from pages that rank well organically. These prompts cover the GEO-specific layer: answering the query in the first 200 words, quotable factual density, question-shaped headers, and author credibility.
