Make AI recommend your brand first
Cited helps you show up as the answer to the questions your prospects are asking AI.
DEFINITION
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand, content, and technical signals so that AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude — cite you when answering questions in your industry.
Traditional SEO targets ranking on a search results page. GEO targets being the answer. As zero-click searches grow and AI assistants become the primary discovery surface, citation in an AI response becomes the new click — driving brand awareness, authority, and qualified pipeline without a traditional SERP visit.
GEO combines three workstreams: measuring your current AI visibility across providers, identifying the questions and competitors that matter, and shipping the technical and content changes (structured data, definitional copy, authority signals) that AI engines reward when they choose what to cite.
