What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the strategic discipline of influencing how generative AI engines — large language models like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini — perceive, categorise, and recommend your brand. It overlaps heavily with AEO; teams adopt either acronym depending on background. GEO emphasises the generative model itself; AEO emphasises the answer the model produces.
Also known as: Generative Engine Optimization, Generative Engine Optimisation
Why it matters
GEO is the discipline that owns the part of the buyer journey traditional SEO doesn't reach: the conversational, recommendation-driven phase that now happens inside the LLM prompt window. Brands without a GEO strategy are absent from the part of search that's growing fastest.
How Linksii relates
