Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO, is the new way to rank in AI search results.Traditional SEO helps you appear on Google’s page. GEO helps you appear inside the answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini.
When someone asks an AI tool a question, the AI cites websites it trusts. GEO makes sure your website is one of them.
AI search is growing fast. Millions now ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead of using Google.If your business is not ready, you lose clicks, leads, and sales.
Why GEO Matters
This is like the early days of Google SEO. Early action means lower cost and stronger results.
- Over 60% of Google searches end without a click because users read AI overviews.
- Perplexity’s traffic grew 800% last year.
- Businesses that move first will keep a big advantage.
