What Is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing a website so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini cite and recommend it inside their answers. Where SEO targets blue links, GEO targets the answer itself — through schema, fact-dense content, citations and reviews. For local businesses it is how you get named when someone asks AI for the best contractor.
