SEO is still the foundation
SEO gives your site crawlable pages, useful content, internal links, technical hygiene, and search visibility. GEO does not replace that foundation.
GEO adds answer-readiness
Generative Engine Optimization focuses on clear answers, entity consistency, comparison content, FAQs, proof, and page structures that AI systems can summarize.
Where they overlap
Both reward useful content, topical clarity, trust, and strong page structure. The difference is that GEO pays closer attention to how AI assistants extract and combine information.
How to prioritize
Fix basic SEO first: indexable pages, page speed, clear titles, and internal links. Then use the GEO Checklist to improve AI-friendly structure.

FAQ
Should I create separate GEO pages? Usually no. Improve the pages buyers and search engines already care about.
Can small sites benefit? Yes, especially when they are clear, niche-specific, and proof-rich.
