What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing content for ingestion, prioritization, and citation by RAG pipelines and large language models in generative search systems.

How does reward-model alignment affect AI citations?

Generative engines use reward models trained via RLHF or DPO to select which sources to cite. Content aligned with these preference structures achieves higher visibility in synthesized answers.

What structured data helps AI crawlers understand technical articles?

TechArticle and FAQPage JSON-LD schemas, combined with semantic HTML (article, h1-h3 hierarchy), enable efficient extraction with minimal computational overhead.
