What GEO means

GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the work of making your pages easy for AI assistants to find, understand, and cite. Classic SEO asks: will this page rank? GEO also asks: will an AI answer quote this page, and will it quote it correctly?

The good news: most of the work is the same as good writing. Clear answers, real evidence, and a clean structure help human readers, search engines, and AI assistants.

Five changes in the article

  • Answer first. Put the direct answer to the question in the first two sentences, then explain.
  • One idea per section. Use headings that are real questions or clear statements, not clever titles.
  • Show the evidence. Cite the source of each number, rule, or date, and link to it.
  • Name things fully. Write the full name of a law, a product, or an organisation at least once.
  • Keep it current. Put a clear date on the article and update it when the facts change.

What to avoid

Do not hide the answer under a long introduction. Do not repeat the same keyword in every sentence. Do not invent statistics or quotes: an AI answer that cites a wrong number from your page is worse than no citation.
