GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation

Get your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

FreeIntermediate — some SEO background helpfulSelf-paced, recorded
Overview

What it's for

Most GEO advice online is either recycled SEO tips with a new label, or vague theory with no way to act on it. This course is neither — it's the actual entity, structured-data, and content framework I use to get brands recognised, trusted, and cited inside generated AI answers.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this the same as SEO?

It shares a technical foundation, but the mechanics are different. This course is specifically about how generative AI systems retrieve, trust, and cite information — not about ranking pages.

Do I need a technical background?

Basic SEO literacy helps, but the course explains entity signals and structured data from the ground up.

Which AI platforms does this cover?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — the platforms with the most measurable traction right now.

How is this different from the AEO course?

GEO is about being cited inside a generated response. AEO is about being extracted as a direct answer (snippets, voice, AI Overviews). Related but distinct — see xEO Engineering for how they connect into one system.
