Generative Engine Optimization: The New SEO for AI Answers
AI answers are replacing search results. If your content isn't cited, your brand is invisible. Generative Engine Optimization is the new imperative.
●Builder Action:Developers must start thinking about content not just for human readability but for machine comprehension. Implement schema markup rigorously to explicitly define entities and relationships. Consider building APIs or structured data feeds that LLMs can directly query, treating your knowledge base as a source for AI. Benchmark your content's clarity and factual accuracy against what AI models are currently citing in your domain.
