Question 1

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your website so that AI-powered generative engines — such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — can confidently cite, summarise, and recommend your business. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO focuses on entity clarity, data structure, and local accuracy so your brand appears in AI-generated 'best of' lists and local recommendations.

Question 2

What do the three GEO pillars mean?

Accepted Answer

The GEO scanner checks three pillars: (1) Citations — whether your brand is defined as a clear, authoritative entity that AI can confidently name; (2) Data Structure — whether your content is organised so AI can extract and summarise it accurately using JSON-LD, headings, and FAQs; and (3) Local Accuracy — whether your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) are consistently marked up so AI answers local-intent queries correctly.

Question 3

How is GEO different from AEO?

Accepted Answer

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) focuses broadly on getting your content surfaced as direct answers across AI tools — covering HTTPS, meta tags, schema, Open Graph, and speed signals. GEO Readiness drills into the specific signals AI models need to cite and recommend businesses: brand entity clarity, structured data summarisability, and NAP consistency for local queries. Both matter — they are complementary strategies.
