GEO is a Licensing Issue, Not a New SEO, Says Expert Analysis

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) offers real gains, but its marketing overstates its scope, conflating licensing with technical optimization.

●Builder Action:Developers must understand that optimizing content for generative AI (GEO) requires more than just on-page SEO. Focus on structured data formats (JSON-LD, schema.org) and clear content presentation. Critically, ensure that the data being used for AI training and output is properly licensed, as this is a prerequisite for any visibility gains. Failure to address licensing can render technical optimizations moot.
