What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring and writing content so AI answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI features, can find it, understand it and cite it in their answers.

GEO vs SEO
It builds on SEO rather than replacing it.
SEO aims to rank a page in a list of links. GEO aims to have your content used inside a generated answer.
Both depend on crawlable, well-structured pages with real expertise behind them.
GEO adds attention to direct answers, clear definitions, original data and access for AI crawlers.

Comparison
SEO and GEO side by side.
Where a generic approach falls short.
| Task | Generic approach | ElixRank |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in a list of links (SEO) | Be cited inside an AI answer (GEO) |
| Key content habit | Target a keyword | Answer the question directly |
| Measurement | Rankings and clicks | Rankings plus readiness checks; citation tracking is still immature |
GEO is a young field; practices and measurement are still changing.
