What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?
“GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website so that AI-powered search engines — like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity — cite your business in their generated answers. Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links; GEO optimizes for being selected as a trusted source inside an AI-written response.”
View in the company profileHow long does it take to appear in ChatGPT answers?
“There is no guaranteed timeline — AI engines update their knowledge and citations on their own schedule. In our experience, meaningful improvements in citation frequency appear within 4–12 weeks of implementing structured data, entity signals, and LLM-readable content.”
View in the company profileDo I need GEO if I already rank on Google?
“Yes. Google rankings and AI citations are different signals with different selection criteria.”
View in the company profileWhich AI platforms do you optimize for?
“We optimize for the four major AI search surfaces: ChatGPT (including its Bing-powered web browsing), Google AI Overviews (formerly SGE), Google Gemini, and Perplexity. We also cover Microsoft Copilot, which uses the same Bing index as ChatGPT's browsing mode. Each platform has different citation patterns — we test and report on all of them separately.”
