Generative Engine Optimization: improving how often and how accurately AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention and cite a brand.

In detail

Generative AI tools build answers from what they learned in training and from pages they retrieve at the moment of the question. GEO strengthens both: clear facts about the business on its own site, structured data, consistent listings and reviews, and mentions on websites the models trust.

GEO is also called LLM SEO or LLM optimization. Results are measured by tracking a fixed set of buyer questions across AI tools over time.
