Original: Is your site ready to be cited by AI? A practical intro to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

Short summary

An introductory guide to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — ensuring your website is readable and citable by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Key signals include allowing AI crawlers in robots.txt, using structured content (clear headings, lists, JSON-LD), and maintaining standard SEO hygiene. The author pitches a free GEO audit tool, which reduces the overall depth of the piece.

  • •GEO focuses on being cited by AI search engines, not just ranked on Google
  • •Check robots.txt for AI crawler blocks (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) and use structured content for citability
  • •Early adopters gain advantage while GEO standards remain immature

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
