What is GEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing websites so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews can discover, understand, and cite your content. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in search results, GEO focuses on citation readiness — clear structure, factual density, schema markup, and authority signals.

AI Engine Readiness

How ready your site is to be cited by each major generative engine. Most GEO tactics help everywhere, but each engine has its own tilt.

ChatGPT

F (25)

✓OpenAI crawlers allowed (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot)
✗Structured data (JSON-LD) present
✗Sections lead with a direct answer
✗Strong authority signals (E-E-A-T)

ChatGPT search relies on Bing's index — make sure your site is indexed in Bing.

Perplexity

E (50)

✓PerplexityBot allowed
✗Content is fresh / recently updated
✗Concrete statistics and data
✓Cites external sources

Perplexity rewards recency and concrete, citable facts over marketing copy.

Google AI Overviews

F (25)

✗Strong classic SEO foundation
✓Google-Extended allowed
✗Structured data (JSON-LD) present
✗Sections lead with a direct answer

AI Overviews lean on pages that already rank well in classic Google Search.

Claude

F (25)

✓Anthropic crawlers allowed (ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai)
✗llms.txt present
✗Strong authority signals (E-E-A-T)
✗Sections lead with a direct answer

Claude favors well-structured, authoritative content and llms.txt for site discovery.

Gemini

F (25)

✓Google-Extended allowed
✗Structured data (JSON-LD) present
✗FAQ or HowTo schema
✗Strong classic SEO foundation

Gemini draws heavily from Google's index and structured, question-answer content.

How to Measure AI Citations

Classic keyword rankings no longer capture how often AI engines recommend you. Track citation rate — the share of your target questions where your brand is mentioned or linked in an AI answer.

Sample queries manually: ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews the questions your customers ask, and record whether you are cited.
Track AI referral traffic in GA4: create a segment for referrals from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com and similar AI domains.
Use a citation tracker: tools like Profound, Otterly or Peec automate citation-rate sampling across engines.
Re-run this report after changes: improving the signals above (crawler access, structured data, answer-first content, statistics, freshness) is what moves citation rate over time.
