GEO: Getting Your Brand Cited by AI Answer Engines
AI answer engines summarise the web and cite a handful of sources. To be one of them, your pages must answer questions directly, carry clear facts and be backed by consistent brand signals across the web.
Start each page with a 2-3 sentence answer. Follow with structured sections, a short FAQ and schema markup so machines can read the page.
Publish original data: benchmarks, case-study numbers and survey results are far more likely to be cited than generic advice.
Keep your brand facts identical everywhere: name, description, address, social profiles. Review how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews describe you every month.
