Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
GEO, or generative engine optimization, covers the practices that make a brand and its products more visible and more frequently cited in the answers of generative AI such as ChatGPT or Gemini. Unlike classic search optimisation aimed at clicks, it seeks to become the recommended answer. For a DTC brand, it is the lever for existing in the new buying journey.
