GEO is the practice of improving your brand's visibility in AI-generated responses β the same way SEO improves your visibility in Google search results.
Millions of users now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity for product recommendations, tool comparisons, and expert advice β questions that used to go to Google.
When a user asks βWhat's the best tool to monitor brand visibility in AI responses?β, which brand does the AI mention? If it's not yours, you're invisible to that user β even if you rank #1 on Google.
GEO is the discipline of measuring and improving that AI visibility. It's not a replacement for SEO β it's the next layer on top of it.
