GEO makes your brand appear in AI-generated answers. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews are where your next customers search — are you visible?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the discipline of optimizing content, structured data, and brand signals so that large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews cite your brand when generating answers for users.
Unlike traditional SEO — where the goal is a top-10 blue-link ranking — GEO targets zero-click AI answers seen by millions of users daily. Brands not cited in AI answers are invisible to a growing segment of searchers.
Define your brand, product, and key concepts with unambiguous language AI systems can parse and cite.
JSON-LD schemas tell AI crawlers what type of content each page contains. No schema = no rich citation.
AI models weight content that other authoritative sites link to and quote from.
Open paragraphs with a definition. Use numbered steps. Include FAQs. AI extracts this format first.
Cover the full semantic neighborhood of your topic. Deep content clusters signal authority to AI.
Track your Generative Share of Voice daily — which queries you appear in and which competitors dominate.
GSoV is the GEO equivalent of organic market share — how often your brand is cited by AI systems for target queries, relative to competitors. OptiAISEO tracks this daily.
OptiAISEO monitors your Generative Share of Voice daily and shows which queries you appear in — and which you're missing.
