What is GEO?
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
When you ask an AI assistant like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for a recommendation, it doesn't hand you ten links. It writes one answer that names a few businesses. GEO is the work of making sure yours is one of them.
No list of ten links. One answer, three names. GEO is how you become one of them.
Take the question “Who has the darkest Marans eggs in California?” The example beside this shows the kind of answer AI writes: a few farms, each with a reason. GEO is the work that gets a farm, or your business, into that answer.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand, content, and technical signals so that AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI Overviews cite you when answering questions in your industry.
