Common questions

What is GEO (generative engine optimization)?

GEO is work aimed at getting a brand named and cited in answers from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, alongside traditional search rankings.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO targets ranked links on a results page. GEO targets the sources and facts AI assistants draw on when they write an answer. Much of the groundwork (clear, citable, well-structured content) overlaps.

How can I check an agency's own AI visibility?

The AI visibility leaderboard records which agencies assistants actually name for Minnesota buyer questions, once results are published.
