The context

Why GEO now? – GEO: get cited by AI assistants

When a buyer asks an AI assistant “which agency can help with SEO in France?”, the answer names a handful of companies rather than a page of ten blue links. To be among them, your business must be easy to understand and verify: the same identity everywhere, factual content, third-party sources that talk about you.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) starts with good SEO. AI assistants rely on pages that search engines crawl, understand and trust: clean technical foundations, useful content and authority signals are the basis of any visibility in AI answers.

That is why GEO is a natural part of my expertise. I have been doing international SEO since 2021, in four languages, and I add the techniques specific to AI: a clear entity, structured data, easily quotable content and regular monitoring of what the assistants say.

Among other things, I check…

What AI assistants say about you, in each language.
Whether your offer is described clearly and consistently.
Your structured data (schema.org) and your llms.txt file.
Third-party sources that mention you, or your competitors.

FAQ

Your questions – GEO

What's the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO targets traditional search engines, GEO targets the answers given by AI assistants. The foundations are shared, but GEO puts extra weight on a clear entity and easily citable content.

Can you measure visibility in AI assistants?

Yes, by regularly asking the assistants the same questions and noting who they cite. I track these answers in each language.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. AI assistants rely largely on the web and on search engines: good SEO remains the basis of good AI visibility.

What is an llms.txt file?

A text file at the root of your site that presents your company and key pages in a format that language models can read easily.

What is AI search optimization, or answer engine optimization?

It is the work of making your company visible in AI-generated answers: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. It is also called answer engine optimization (AEO), LLM SEO or generative engine optimization (GEO). The goal is the same: being understood, cited and recommended.

Is GEO the same as geo-targeting or local SEO?

No. Here GEO stands for generative engine optimization. Geo-targeting, geo-tagging and local SEO are about location: showing the right page in the right country or city, for example with hreflang tags and country-specific URLs. I handle both, but they are different jobs.

How is it different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO earns rankings in a list of links; AI search optimization earns mentions inside an answer. It builds on SEO (clear pages, structured data, authority) and adds content that answers precise questions, consistent facts about your company everywhere, and AI Overviews SEO for Google.

Do you also handle classic SEO?

Yes. GEO builds on solid SEO: the French pages that rank on Google are also the ones AI assistants read and cite.

Is GEO different in French and in English?

Yes. AI assistants answer French questions mostly from French sources, so your brand needs clear French content and mentions on French websites, not only an English presence.
