What GEO is
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of preparing your content so AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity can ingest, understand, and cite it when answering user questions.
The 7 GEO dimensions

- Comparison tables (0–10) —
elements with versus/comparison structure- Citation readiness (0–10) — outbound links to authoritative sources (.gov, .edu, Wikipedia, journals)

Why GEO matters
AI search engines route traffic away from Google. By 2027, half of all search queries are projected to be answered by AI without a click. GEO is how you stay visible in that environment.
