Understand GEO fundamentals
In addition to learned knowledge, AI uses web pages and other resources it retrieves on the fly to answer questions. The foundation of GEO is publishing official pages that clearly state product name, features, pricing, supported environments, and usage instructions so they directly answer user questions.1. Audit visibility in AI search
Start with questions your target users would ask AI and investigate how the answers present your product and its competitors. Include both unbranded selection questions and product-specific questions about setup, use, and troubleshooting.
Main metrics to check are , which indicates your mention share compared to competitors in AI answers, and , which indicates the proportion of cited sources that come from your site. In addition to numbers, verify answer accuracy and the cited pages.
The same question can yield different answers depending on environment, pricing plan, device, and permissions. Narrow to conditions your product actually supports, and save the question, check date, answer, and cited sources. After improvements, compare under the same conditions.
2. Make product information easy for AI systems to access and cite
Make pages retrievable and understandable so AI can identify product information. Reviewing the table from top to bottom helps isolate issues with access to important pages, problems with AI reading product information, and inconsistencies across multiple pages.
If you want your published info included in ChatGPT search results, also confirm you are not blocking OAI-SearchBot from fetching your pages.
3. Create content for product evaluation and use
For questions lacking clear answers in your visibility audit, publish pages that clearly answer them with official information. Choose the page type based on the question’s purpose.
Ensure features, pricing, and procedures match the current product. Do not publish unverified effects or comparisons; include timeframes and conditions with any numeric claims.
On pages aimed at product selection, show target users, use cases, pricing, supported environments, and comparison criteria. On pages for current users, clearly state required plans, permissions, operating systems, versions, and the expected result after each procedure. Remove outdated screens or specifications and show the last-updated date.
4. Monitor and improve visibility over time
Regularly re-run the same questions to track changes in answers, mentions, and cited sources. Assess changes and responses together.Apps you can use for GEO
