SEO + GEO: How to Appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Answers

In short: For ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI-powered Google to recommend your business you need GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): clear answer-first content, structured data (Schema/JSON-LD) and verifiable authority. SEO gets you to Google; GEO gets you into the AI's answers.

SEO and GEO are not the same

SEO ranks your site in Google results. GEO makes AI models read, understand and cite your business in their answers. Today you need both.

The technical foundation of GEO is structured data (Schema.org) that Google and AI use to understand your content. Combined with answer-first content and cited sources, you multiply your chances of being recommended.
