GEO Wiki


GEO Wiki is an open, bilingual encyclopedia of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), with key claims linked to their sources. GEO is the practice of increasing the chance that content is retrieved, used, and credited in AI-generated answers. The site covers core concepts, practical methods, AI engines, and research.

Traditional SEO focuses mainly on ranking pages in search results. GEO builds on the same foundations but applies them to AI-generated answers. It overlaps with answer engine optimization (AEO) and large language model optimization (LLMO).

What is GEO Wiki?

GEO Wiki is an open, bilingual encyclopedia for the AI search era. It defines, sources, and connects the concepts, methods, AI engines, and research that make up Generative Engine Optimization.

What is Generative Engine Optimization?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making content discoverable, accurate, and citable inside AI-generated answers from engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini.

How is GEO different from SEO?

Search engine optimization (SEO) focuses on ranking pages in search results. GEO extends that work to visibility and attribution in AI-generated answers. Relevant practices include clear content structure, reliable sourcing, crawler access, and accurate structured data, but no single factor guarantees inclusion.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and large language model optimization (LLMO) overlap and are sometimes used interchangeably. Their boundaries are not standardized; GEO generally refers to improving visibility and attribution in AI-generated answers.
