What Is an SEO & GEO Strategy?

SEO and GEO are two complementary approaches to digital discoverability.

SEO — Search Engine Optimization

SEO improves how your website and digital assets are discovered, understood and presented by traditional search engines such as Google and Bing.

GEO — Generative Engine Optimization

GEO focuses on improving how your organization and its information can be discovered, understood and represented within AI-powered search and answer experiences.

Together, they address a broader question:

Can your organization be discovered and accurately understood wherever your customers are researching?

This requires more than optimizing individual pages.

It requires a strategy connecting technical infrastructure, information architecture, content, entities, structured data, authority and user experience.
