This fundamental change in user behavior has given rise to a new digital marketing strategy - Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
In today's rapidly evolving digital marketing landscape, the only constant is change itself. We are living in an era profoundly transformed by artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI, where the ways information is acquired and distributed are undergoing a fundamental revolution.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is a novel content optimization methodology designed for AI search and Q&A engines. Its core objectives are: enabling brands' content to be understood and cited by AI, then presented to users as "part of the answer", thereby gaining visibility and conversion opportunities in conversational searches. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO emphasizes natural language understanding, semantic matching, and structured expression. It optimizes not just webpages, but whether content can be selected, referenced, and rephrased by AI systems.
