Get Found by ChatGPT: SEO Is Now GEO

Your next customer is asking ChatGPT who to hire — not Google. Learn how to be the name it recommends.

About This Session

Your next customer isn't Googling — they're asking ChatGPT. What generative engine optimization (GEO) means for a local company, and the specific moves that get you recommended by name.

What We'll Cover

  • How ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok decide which businesses to recommend
  • GEO vs SEO: what still matters, what's brand new
  • The citations + content moves that actually shift AI answers
  • Your 30-day get-found plan

You Leave With

Get Found by ChatGPT: SEO Is Now GEO — Questions & Answers

AI assistants recommend businesses based on the evidence they can find and verify: consistent citations across the web, structured data on your site, genuine reviews, and content that directly answers the questions customers ask. This workshop opens with a live test — asking ChatGPT for the best business in your trade near your town — and ends with your 30-day generative engine optimization (GEO) action plan.
No — GEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. The fundamentals still matter, because AI engines learn from much of the same web Google crawls. What's new is how answer engines weigh citations, structured facts, and quotable content. The session separates what still works, what's newly important, and what no longer moves the needle.
