Definition

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing for generative search experiences like Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot answers, and the SGE-era carousels that appear above traditional organic results.

In Depth

GEO overlaps heavily with AEO but focuses on surfaces inside search engines rather than standalone LLM products. Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot summaries, and similar features pull from multiple citations to build an answer; GEO practitioners track which citations get selected. Scavio's SERP API exposes AI Overview content as a typed field so teams can monitor GEO performance as a first-class metric.
