Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), Explained
Your customers aren’t just Googling. They’re using AI and LLMs, asking ChatGPT, checking Gemini, and prompting Claude. These AI systems aren’t giving them a list of links—they’re delivering legitimate answers. If your business isn’t mentioned, you have no hope of entering the conversation.
Welcome to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): your shortcut to becoming the name AI recommends first.
GEO is the art and science of making sure your brand is discoverable and recommendable by generative AI tools. Unlike traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in SERPs, GEO ensures your business shows up in natural language responses across platforms like:
- ChatGPT
- Google’s AI Overviews + AI Mode
- Claude
- Perplexity
- Gemini
- And more emerging LLMs
Generative engines don’t rank results based on exact keyword matches. They interpret meaning. They rely on entities, semantic relationships, and contextual depth, scanning the web for signals, citations, and authoritative mentions. To show up, your content needs to speak the language of AI and exist in the places it learns from.
GEO doesn’t replace SEO; it builds on it. It’s the next layer in RicketyRoo’s proven organic strategy: enhancing your search visibility across both traditional engines and AI-powered interfaces.
Your Next Customer Just Asked AI. Were You Mentioned?
Why generative engine optimization matters more than ever
The way people discover businesses is changing fast. According to HubSpot, nearly half of U.S. adults now use AI tools weekly to get product recommendations or local business answers. Gartner predicts that by 2026, 30% of traffic to business websites will originate from AI interfaces, rather than traditional Google searches.
If your business isn’t recognized by these tools, you’re invisible at the moment of decision.
Generative engines don’t just list options. They make choices. Instead of ten blue links, users get answers..
RicketyRoo ensures that the answer includes you.
By building the authority, structure, and clarity AI systems trust and cite, we enable your business to surface when and where it matters most.
Industries seeing the most lift from GEO right now include:
- Local Services: Be the plumber, dentist, or HVAC company AI recommends first
- SaaS & Tech: Land in AI-curated lists for top tools and platforms
- Legal & Healthcare: Build trust and authority across AI interfaces where accuracy matters most
- Multi-location & Franchise Brands: Ensure consistency and relevance across every market you serve
How Our Generative Engine Optimization Services Work
1. Visibility Audit
We kick things off with a deep dive visibility audit. Our team checks how and where your brand appears (or doesn’t). We compare your presence to competitors and analyze who’s winning in your space, and why. This helps us identify entity gaps, topic blind spots, and opportunities to strengthen your positioning across LLMs.
2. Strategy Development
Next, we build a customized GEO roadmap to bolster your visibility across all search surfaces. This includes:
- Advanced schema markup to clarify your content’s meaning
- Topic cluster mapping to build entity authority
- Internal linking optimization to reinforce context and relevance
- On-page updates that make AI want to cite you
- Prompt testing to evaluate real-world AI responses
We future-proof your digital presence by aligning with both search engine logic and LLM behavior because the future of search is already here.
3. Implementation: Content + Technical
Strategies are only half the battle. At RicketyRoo, we love to execute and implement on-page, technical, and off-page work that moves the needle for you. Our team rewrites, restructures, and creates new content designed for semantic accuracy and AI preference. We enhance your pages with:
- Rich, structured data
- Optimal natural language context
- Review insights and customer phrasing mined for AI relevance
- Tool-powered semantic alignment using MarketMuse and Clearscope
We don’t just sprinkle in buzzwords. We build ecosystems of relevance. Then we test them using LLM prompts to validate real visibility shifts.

GEO FAQs
What’s the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO helps you rank in traditional search engines like Google. GEO helps you get referenced and recommended by generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. They share best practices, like content quality and site structure, but they target different outcomes. In general, GEO makes SEO stronger, and vice versa.
Do I need to change my entire website for GEO to work?
Not at all. GEO typically involves targeted enhancements, not a full site rebuild. We’ll identify which pages need updates, where to strengthen structure and semantics, and how to create new content if needed. Most clients see results with smart, surgical improvements, not necessarily total overhauls. All this depends on your current web presence and visibility, which we’ll strategically evaluate before beginning any work.
Is GEO just for big brands, or does it work for small & local businesses too?
GEO is especially powerful for local and mid-size businesses looking to stand out. Since generative engines often summarize the best options, having the right structure and clarity can put smaller businesses on better footing with bigger players, even in crowded markets.
