The six questions we answer most often about GEO and this hub.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing website content so that AI-powered search engines — such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude — can discover, understand, and cite it in their responses. GEO builds on traditional SEO but focuses on structured data, entity clarity, and authoritative signals that large language models prioritize.
Traditional SEO targets keyword rankings on search engine results pages (SERPs). GEO targets citation and visibility inside AI-generated answers. While SEO focuses on backlinks, meta tags, and keyword density, GEO emphasizes structured content, clear entity definitions, authoritative sourcing, and schema markup that LLMs can parse and reference.
Prominara currently tracks visibility across four major AI platforms: ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Google AI (Gemini and AI Overviews), and Claude (Anthropic). Each platform uses different retrieval and citation mechanisms, which is why platform-specific optimization strategies are important.
