Frequently asked questions

What is Generative Search Optimization?

GSO (also called GEO or AEO) is the practice of optimizing your content to appear as a cited source inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. It goes beyond traditional SEO by targeting AI training data, semantic structure, and citation patterns.

How is GSO different from SEO?

SEO gets you ranked on Google's blue links. GSO gets your brand cited inside the AI answer that appears above those links. In 2025, AI Overviews appear for over 60% of searches — GSO captures that visibility.

How do I get my business cited in ChatGPT?

You need authoritative, clearly-structured content that directly answers common questions in your niche. This includes FAQ schema, BLUF writing (answer first), citations to credible sources, and consistent brand mentions across the web.

How long does GSO take to work?

Initial AI citations typically appear within 4–12 weeks of publishing optimized content. Google ranking improvements follow standard SEO timelines of 3–6 months. We track and report both.

How do I know if AI search is affecting my traffic?

Look for declining CTR despite stable impressions in Google Search Console. This is a classic sign AI Overviews are answering your keywords — and you're not in them. Our audit identifies this immediately.
