What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization (GEO), also called answer engine optimization or AI search optimization, is the work of getting a business mentioned and cited inside answers from AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews. It builds on regular SEO: AI tools still need to find, read and trust your pages before they mention you.
How GEO is different from SEO
| SEO | GEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in the list of results | Be named inside the AI answer |
| What counts | Relevance, links, speed, clicks | Clear facts, consistent details, mentions across the web |
| How you measure it | Position and clicks | How often AI tools mention and cite you |
What it takes
Make your facts easy to quote
Short, clear answers about who you are, what you do, where and for how much, written so AI tools can lift them accurately.
Structured data everywhere
Labels that tell machines your business type, services, area, hours and profiles.
Consistent details across the web
AI tools cross-check directories, reviews and profiles. Mismatches make them skip you.
Let AI crawlers in
Check that your site doesn’t block the crawlers AI tools use, and add an llms.txt summary.
Track AI answers
Ask the questions your customers ask, in ChatGPT and Perplexity, and note when you are named. With Monitor we do this for you every month.
Correct what AI gets wrong
Wrong hours, old prices or a competitor’s details are corrected at the source: your site, your Google profile, the directories.

Questions
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention me?
No one can. We show you every month how often ChatGPT and Perplexity name you, and which sources they show.
Is GEO replacing SEO?
No. AI tools rely on the same basics: pages they can find, read and trust. GEO adds clear facts and consistent details on top.
Which AI tools do you check?
ChatGPT and Perplexity.
