Every day the number of users who use neural networks to search for information grows. According to Forbes, the global AI market will reach 1.81 trillion dollars by 2030. GEO is already changing the rules of the game in information retrieval today.

Webernetic is actively working with generative optimization of websites. We help businesses become visible in new search engine formats where people are searching for them.

What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the optimization of a website for artificial intelligence (AI). A site optimized for AI is more likely to be included in neural network responses - for example, Chat GPT - and in the block of neural responses in search engines. There is such a block in Yandex's Search, for example. So while you are reading this article, ChatGPT and Gemini are already sending customers to your competitors.

Benefits of GEO optimization:

If you are thinking about implementing generative optimization, pay attention to its following benefits:

Additional targeted traffic.

AI assistant algorithms are sharpened to deliver more accurate and personalized answers. Relevant traffic through GEO will perfectly strengthen the results of the current promotion strategy;

Going beyond search engines.

Incorporating GEO into your site allows you to reach the millions of users who have already switched from traditional search engines to generative ones.

Low competition.

Most companies are not using generative optimization yet, the technology is just gaining popularity. That's why it's so important to take advantage of it now to get ahead of the competition and get as many customers as possible with low cost of engagement.

Differences between GEO and SEO:

As a strategy, SEO is aimed at improving the position of websites in search engines. Here we traditionally select keywords, create a link profile, and fill pages with quality content. In other words, we focus on the parameters that search engines like Google and Yandex consider most important when indexing.

GEO, in turn, focuses on generative search engines - those that use artificial intelligence algorithms to create answers to queries. These systems pay attention to the structured content (use of headings, lists, FAQs), brand mentions in the network (SERM), relevance of the posted information. Most importantly, they ensure the site is accessible to AI bots. It is also important to remember that these two approaches complement each other.

GEO in Digits:

The global AI market is now experiencing unprecedented growth. According to Forbes, the market will reach $1.81 trillion by 2030. And this is expected, given that more and more companies are embracing the use of artificial intelligence in their processes.

A 2024 SEMrush study found that pages optimized for generative search receive 43% more organic traffic compared to traditional optimization. It turns out that by promoting solely with SEO, you're losing about 40% of the additional traffic you could get with GEO.

What's important to work through for GEO:

✓ Technical structuring of data

This ensures that the AI can correctly read and interpret the site's content. The layout, HTML, and indexing of the site in Bing and Google all matter;

✓ Expert content

The AI takes into account the level of trust in the resource and more often quotes authoritative sources filled with reliable data and statistics;

✓ Optimization for semantics

Artificial intelligence delves into the context, not just correlating keywords. Therefore, it is desirable that the content on the site to be as clear as possible for bots and include headings and lists;

✓ Site loading speed

This point is important for AI systems as well as for ordinary users, so it should remain a priority in both SEO and GEO-promotion;

✓ And other

For whom GEO is suitable?

Generative engine optimization is useful for all websites, but it's especially important for those who want to get ahead of the competition in search. Now, most companies are not even familiar with the topic of generative optimization yet, which gives an advantage to knowledgeable users. This is relevant for news portals, online stores, educational platforms and anyone who actively works with content. Technology is advancing rapidly, it's time to consider the application of new formats.

Do I need to completely change the site for GEO?

No, but certain modifications are necessary. A certain data structure is needed for artificial intelligence to read the content on a page. This can be ensured by implementing special micropartitioning schemes.

And how does GEO affect voice search?
