The Context
Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking links, GEO focuses on training underlying Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems to recognize a brand as an authoritative entity.
Why It Matters for AI Search
As search behavior shifts from query-based links to conversational answers, GEO ensures brands remain discoverable in the AI era.
