In plain language

Generative Engine Optimization, GEO, is the work of becoming a source the AI overviews and generative answer engines cite and link. RAEDAR runs that work end to end, structures your site so the engines can read and trust it, publishes the answer pages they reach for, and tracks your citations across Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Gemini.

Definition

What GEO actually is.

GEO is the discipline of optimizing for generated answers instead of ten blue links. The engines now compose a single response and cite a handful of sources. Being one of those sources is the new front page. GEO covers schema, answer formatting, evidence, freshness, and the off site signals that make the engines trust you.

The gap

Where the money is leaking right now.

Search results now open with an AI written answer, and tools like Perplexity hand people a finished response with sources. If you are not one of those sources, the click goes to whoever is. The page below the answer matters less every month.

Being the cited source is the new front page. Most businesses do not even know the page exists.

What the data says

Google has rolled AI Overviews to billions of users worldwide, changing how the top of the results page looks for high intent queries.

Old way vs RAEDAR

	Old way	RAEDAR
Target	Top ten on a search page.	One of the cited sources inside the AI answer.
Page format	Long intro, key info buried.	Short answer first, evidence after, schema underneath.
Measure	Keyword position.	Citation count and answer share across the generative engines.
Refresh cadence	Once a quarter.	Continuous. The engines do, so we do.

Why RAEDAR is the authority

RAEDAR lives in this layer. It reads how the engines treat you and runs the work to make you the source they reach for.

Honest answer

Think your current SEO covers this.

Old SEO aims at ten links. GEO aims at the one answer on top. Different game, and RAEDAR plays it.
