What is GEO?

GEO (generative engine optimization) is optimization that gets generative AI such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to understand your brand correctly and mention it in its answers.

Generative Engine Optimization · Marketing Glossary · Updated

GEO deals with whether a brand appears in the body of generative AI answers and whether it is described with the right information. AI builds answers from many web documents, so brand information spread across Naver Place, social media and outside articles, not just the website, has to match.

It is easy to confuse with geo-targeting, which refers to location. In marketing, GEO used alongside AEO means generative engine optimization.
