Contact ›GEO marketing (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline of getting your brand mentioned in the answers given by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI summaries. SEO ranks your website in a list of results; GEO makes the AI cite you directly when someone asks a question.
This is not a minor shift: more and more buying decisions start with a question to an AI assistant, not a classic search. If you’re not in that answer, you don’t exist for that customer.
What Is GEO Marketing and How Does It Differ from SEO?
SEO optimizes for algorithms that rank links; GEO optimizes for language models that write answers. They share a foundation (useful content, authority, a healthy website), but GEO adds three demands of its own:
- Direct answers: clear definitions in the first paragraphs, ready for the AI to quote as they are.
- Hard data: figures, dates and verifiable facts. Models prefer sources that state measurable things.
- Semantic structure: hierarchical headings, FAQs built on real questions and Schema structured data that labels every piece of information.
How We Approach GEO Marketing, Step by Step
At Hola in Company, we apply SEO and GEO optimization from day one, following a clear method:
- AI visibility audit: we ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your customer would ask and measure whether you show up.
- Citable content: we rewrite key pages with definitions, figures and FAQs that answer exact questions.
- Schema markup: we tag your organization, services, articles and FAQs so machines understand who you are.
- Authority: a presence in the media and directories that models treat as trusted sources.
Using this method, Real Novo Sancti Petri grew its clicks by 174% in a year and is now recommended when people ask AI about golf in Cádiz. You can see the details in our case study.
What Results Can You Expect?
A well-executed GEO marketing project shows up in three metrics: brand mentions in AI answers, referral traffic from these assistants and, above all, enquiries from customers who arrive “because ChatGPT recommended you.” In 2026 this is no longer anecdotal: it’s a real acquisition channel that grows every month.
The good news: most of your competitors aren’t working on it yet. Starting now means taking the lead.
How to Measure Your Visibility in AI
There is still no official Search Console for GEO, but there is a reliable method: define the 20 or 30 questions your ideal customer would ask (by service, by location and by comparison), run them every month in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and record three things: whether your brand appears, where in the answer it appears and which source the model cites.
With that monthly dashboard, it becomes very clear which content generates mentions and which doesn’t. Our experience after a year of measuring: pages with clear definitions, original figures and well-marked FAQs account for the vast majority of citations. Generic pages, even when they rank on Google, almost never appear in the generative answer. AI doesn’t reward whoever publishes the most, but whoever best answers a specific question.
GEO Marketing FAQ
What does GEO mean in digital marketing?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization: the set of techniques that get generative search engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews) to cite and recommend your brand in their answers.
Does GEO replace SEO?
No, it builds on it. Without a solid SEO foundation (a fast website, useful content, authority), GEO isn’t possible. We work on both at once because they share the same groundwork.
How long does GEO marketing take to show results?
The first mentions in AI answers usually appear 2 to 4 months after optimizing content, structured data and authority. It depends on your sector and the level of competition.
How do I know if my brand appears in ChatGPT?
Ask the questions your customer would ask (“best golf course in Cádiz,” “where to book a golf trip in Costa de la Luz”) in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. If you don’t appear, your competitors are filling that gap.
