## SEO & GEO

### Definitions
- **SEO (Search Engine Optimization):** The work that makes a site rank for relevant queries in engines such as Google. A search engine crawls, understands, and ranks a site; SEO makes each of those steps easy for it. In most cases the problem is not missing content but content the engine cannot reach properly.
- **GEO (Generative Engine Optimization):** The work that makes generative engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI overviews — understand a brand correctly, recommend it in the right context, and cite it as a source. The target is inclusion inside the generated answer rather than a position among ranked links.

### How SEO and GEO differ
- The user searches with keywords in SEO; with a full natural-language question in GEO.
- SEO returns a list of links; GEO returns a generated answer with cited sources.
- SEO competition happens in the ranking; GEO competition happens in being cited in the answer.
- The two are complementary, not alternatives: generative engines still draw heavily on the classic search index, so GEO without solid SEO foundations does not produce durable results.

### What it gives a brand
- Discoverability: customers find the brand by describing their need, without knowing its name.
- Better-qualified visitors: incoming traffic arrives with clear intent, closer to the decision stage.
- Independence from ad spend: a durable channel that does not stop when the budget stops.
- Mentions in AI answers: the brand appears among the names a model recommends.

### Process
Assessment of the current state and competitors, a written priority roadmap, staged implementation, and continuous measurement. First meaningful movement is typically seen within 4–8 weeks; search visibility is ongoing work rather than a one-off task.
