Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Are you ready to be found?

AI Search is not the future, it is today.

AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews / AI Mode and Perplexity are transforming traditional search results into direct, conversational answers. If your brand isn't visible within these AI-generated answers, it simply doesn’t exist for potential customers. GEO ensures your brand isn't just clickable—it becomes the answer itself.

Traditionele SEO is no longer enough

Why AI Search matters now

SEO vs GEO - Follo

Traditional SEO is built around ranking pages and winning clicks from search engine results. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is fundamentally different. It's about becoming a trusted source within the conversational answers provided directly by AI. Gartner predicts traditional search traffic could drop 25% in the coming year. If your brand isn't part of the initial AI-generated summaries, your visibility—and consequently your revenue—will suffer.

No, GEO and SEO are fundamentally different. Traditional SEO aims for clicks from a list of search results. GEO, however, positions your brand directly within the answer itself, often eliminating the click altogether. With GEO, you’re competing on originality, clear expertise, and structured content that AI engines can easily interpret and confidently present as the best answer.
Unlike SEO, there's no single rank or dashboard for GEO. Progress involves testing your most crucial conversational prompts across platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Track visibility frequency, accuracy of information presented, and measure direct traffic from AI-generated responses to understand your true GEO impact.
No one can fully predict how AI platforms generate answers. But you can build resilience by consistently providing content that is genuinely helpful, unique, and structured for clarity. Diversify your visibility across multiple platforms—search, social media, communities, and various AI tools—to avoid dependence on a single source. Reinforce your authority through integrated channel strategies to stay consistently relevant, regardless of algorithm shifts.
GEO authority isn't achieved overnight. Generative models look for content that consistently demonstrates genuine expertise, clear originality, and trustworthiness. To build lasting authority, provide answers and insights better than anyone else, clearly associate these answers with your brand across all platforms, and repeatedly demonstrate your value through high-quality, authoritative content.
