Generative Engine Optimization, is the practice of optimizing your content and brand presence on generative AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity AI. For example, SEO helps your brand to get found in searches, while GEO helps your brand get mentioned or referenced in AI-generated summaries, overviews, and other chatbox-like responses.
The purpose of SEO lies in search engine rankings for Google and Bing yet GEO concentrates specifically on AI search platforms. The key differences include:
SEO: Optimizes for keywords, backlinks, and technical elements to rank higher in search results.
GEO: Focuses on ensuring your brand is mentioned in AI-generated content, summaries, and responses.
GEO is a long-term strategy. SEO demands patience since you'll start to see results between 6 to 12 months whereas Generative Engine Optimization demands a 12 to 24 months time span although specific timeframes depend on your industry business niche alongside intended platforms.
