Definition

AI search optimization (sometimes called "GEO" — Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring content to be cited, summarized, and surfaced by AI search systems. It overlaps with classical SEO but emphasizes citations, structured data, factual density, and clear authority signals.

Example

A B2B brand publishes evidence-rich, cite-friendly content that consistently appears in Perplexity and ChatGPT answers in their category.
