Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) leverages AI to create tailored content that improves search rankings by aligning with user intent and algorithmic preferences. This innovative approach enhances SEO strategies, driving more organic traffic through dynamic, data-driven content creation.

HubSpot has published a guide to ‘Generative Engine Optimization’.

Stephanie Trovato says, “Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is a new technique for maximizing your digital content’s visibility. Instead of traditional SEO practices that focus on ranking on SERPs, GEO is about being used by generative AI engines.

Generative engines pull information directly from web content to deliver responses to user queries. They use large language models (LLMs) to make sense of the info they’ve scraped and provide coherent, relevant answers.

ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Google AI Search are all examples of generative engines.

Generative engines work by:

  1.  Interpreting a user’s query.
  2.  Leveraging personal data it may have on the user, such as preferences or conversation history.
  3.  Searching to find relevant answers to the query
  4.  Synthesizing information from these documents into a straightforward response”.
