GEO: Helping Generative AI Systems Find, Understand and Trust Your Information
Generative search tools don't just list pages. They write answers, drawing on sources they find and weigh. If you're a business, the question becomes: when someone asks about your category, are you one of the sources?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of improving your chances of being understood, trusted and referenced in that kind of answer. It's a young field. There's more claim than evidence in it, and we approach it with some skepticism.
What We Do in GEO

What GEO is (and isn't)
GEO is an industry term. It isn't an official Google concept, and no one outside the AI companies knows exactly how their systems select sources. Different tools behave differently, and behaviour changes often.
So GEO doesn't mean secret tactics. It means a disciplined approach to the things that consistently make information more useful and
GEO versus SEO and AEO
SEO gets you crawled, indexed and ranked. AEO shapes content into clear answers. GEO looks at how generative systems may summarise and reference you, where authority and recognition carry more weight. The three overlap and rely on the same foundations. See AI Search Optimization for the full picture.
How Generative Search Differs
Traditional search ranks pages. Generative systems often synthesize information from multiple sources, sometimes with citations, sometimes without. That shifts emphasis toward:
- Clarity: facts stated plainly, with context.
- Authority: signals that your business is a real, established source.
- Consensus: consistent information across your site and the wider web.
- Depth: substantive coverage, not thin summaries.
