GEO Marketing Is Here to Stay. Is Your Content Ready?

SEO Is Important, but So Is GEO. Optimize Your Site for AI-Powered Search.

Want a site strategy that reflects SEO & GEO at every turn?

As marketers, it feels like we’re constantly trying to chase down the latest cheat code for SEO. Sure, there are tried-and-true methods—add keywords organically, but don’t keyword stuff; state your objectives clearly but don’t make your content too bland; respect the H1; backlink to high heaven; etc. But Google is famously a black box, tweaking how it ranks results without a word of explanation. That means you can be on top of the heap one week and buried by, ahem, Instagram results the next.

Here at Starta Studio, we’ve made staying on top of the latest changes in SEO our priority so that you don’t have to spend your free time worrying about it. But whether or not you’re trying to stay in the loop on Google’s capricious whims, we’ve got news that you are going to want to pay attention to—there’s a new sheriff in town. Ok, well they might not be sheriff yet, but they’re definitely a hotshot deputy on the rise. We’re talking about GEO.

What Is GEO, also Known as Generative Engine Optimization?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization and represents content that is written to rate highly with Large Language Model (LLM) AI such as Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot, among many, many others. You’re likely already well aware of the proliferation of LLMs and the advancement of their capabilities over the last few years and months. But what you might not know is that they are the future of search. Millions of users rely on Google AI Overview and ChatGPT to answer their everyday questions. And for those companies that are on the forefront of writing content with GEO in mind, this trend offers huge new opportunities to dominate the future of search.

There’s another giant benefit that comes with ranking highly in LLMs’ search results—the implication of authority. Unlike traditional search engine results, which largely uniformly list page after page of sites, social media accounts, and videos that rank for any given search term, AI results use crawled content to answer frequently searched questions. This means that if your site is formatted for GEO, not only could your content be pulled to inform an answer, but that answer will naturally point to you as a definitive leader in the topic at hand. That emphasis on expertise goes a long way in convincing possible customers or clients that your product

Search Is Getting Smarter. So Should Your Content Strategy.

Let’s be clear, SEO is still critical for your site’s success when it comes to discovery. But as we stand on the precipice of the AI transformation, the way people seek out and interact with information is changing faster than ever before. By leaning into GEO, you’re setting your business up to reap the rewards of that transition. Now is the time to move in anticipation of this seismic change instead of waiting until it’s well underway and everyone is vying for their spot. 

Like SEO, there are manifold writing best practices at play, ensuring your content is appealing to AI. Sentence syntax and formatting play a key role, as does the quality and richness of the information offered within the content, and the presence of reliable citations to ensure credibility. GEO marketing is its own specialized skill that requires staying on top of the latest news and updates in the quickly evolving world of LLMs. Luckily, Starta Studio is in the know and ready to transform your content today.
