About AntoniaFrequently asked questions
What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?
Generative engine optimisation is the practice of making a business's information clear, accurate and credible so that AI-powered search tools — such as AI assistants and AI-generated search summaries — can understand it and potentially include it in their answers.
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking web pages in search results. GEO focuses on how a brand is represented in AI-generated answers, which may draw from many sources. The two overlap heavily: clear, well-structured, trustworthy content supports both.
How can a business measure AI search visibility?
By regularly checking how AI tools respond to relevant questions, which brands they mention and how often. Tools such as GEO Rank are designed to monitor this more systematically. Website analytics can also show some referral traffic from AI platforms.
Can a company control whether ChatGPT recommends it?
No. No business can control or guarantee what an AI assistant says. What a business can do is make accurate, useful information about itself easy to find and understand, and earn credible mentions elsewhere — which improves the chances of being represented accurately.
