geo vs seo
- What GEO is
- Generative engine optimization (also called AEO, same work): making your brand one of the sources AI assistants cite when they compose an answer. Search engines rank pages; generative engines compose answers from sources they trust.
- Why SEO still feeds it
- 88.46% of ChatGPT citations flow through Google Search (Ahrefs, 1.4M prompts, Feb 2025). ChatGPT cites your page only after Google indexes it, so a strong Google foundation is table stakes. Losing Google visibility means losing AI visibility next: after Google's January 2026 update, affected sites saw matching AI-citation drops on ChatGPT (-27.8%), AI Mode (-23.8%), and Gemini (-10.6%).
- Query fan-out
- Google AI Mode splits one question into parallel sub-searches and composes the answer from all of them. Content that answers the sub-questions, not just the headline query, gets picked up.
- The cited-domain set
- AI assistants lean on a small set of domains they already trust: review sites, Wikipedia, YouTube, community forums. Part of the work is earning your brand a presence where the engines already look.
The foundation for all of it is classic search visibility. See our SEO service.

faq
What is GEO, and is it different from AEO?
Two names for the same work: getting your brand cited and recommended by generative engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. We use GEO; if you have seen AEO or "AI SEO", it is the same service.
Do we still need SEO if we want AI visibility?
Yes, SEO is the foundation. 88.46% of ChatGPT citations flow through Google Search, so pages that do not rank rarely get cited. The fastest way to lose AI visibility is to lose Google first.
Which engines do you track?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode, and Perplexity, depending on the scope we agree. Every engagement names its engines up front so the monthly numbers mean something.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We freeze a set of non-branded buyer prompts in month one and track your Share of Voice on them every month via Ahrefs Brand Radar: the share of AI answers that mention or cite your brand. Same prompts, same method, honest trend line.
How long until we see citations?
It depends on your starting point. Citations follow indexing, content, and authority, so the curve looks like SEO: slow at first, then compounding. We report monthly from day one so you see movement as it happens, and we do not promise speed we cannot control.
