SEO & Search Generative Experience (SGE)
Optimizing for AI Search: GEO and AIO
Generative engine optimization (GEO) and AI optimization (AIO) are about earning citations and mentions in AI-generated answers, not just blue links. The work overlaps with classic SEO but adds new surfaces: answer engines, chat interfaces, and AI overviews. The goal is to be the source a model trusts, quotes, and links when it answers a user's question.
Kernpunten
- Structure content so a model can extract a clean answer: short definitions, clear headings, and direct statements near the top.
- Add citations, dates, and named sources so claims are verifiable and quotable.
- Cover the question fully, including edge cases and counterpoints, to raise information gain.
- Use schema markup for articles, authors, organizations, and FAQs to clarify entities.
- Build topical authority with clusters of related pages instead of one long page.
- Earn mentions on authoritative third-party sites that models already cite.
- Keep content fresh and dated so it stays eligible for time-sensitive answers.
- Measure AI visibility: track citations, mentions, and referral traffic from AI surfaces.
Veelgestelde vragen
What is GEO?
Generative engine optimization is the practice of making content easy for AI systems to find, trust, and cite in generated answers.
Does GEO replace SEO?
No. Classic SEO feeds the retrieval layer that AI systems use; GEO adds structure and authority for citation.
How do I know if AI search sends traffic?
Track referrers, branded queries, and direct mentions; AI traffic often arrives without a clean referrer.
How long until GEO work shows results?
Weeks to months, depending on crawl frequency and how quickly the surface updates its index.
