AI / GEO Optimization: Getting cited by AI search engines
Learn how to optimize your business to appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google SGE, and other AI search engines.
What is GEO Optimization?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making your business more likely to be cited by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google SGE, and Bing Copilot when users ask questions in your category.
Traditional SEO gets you onto Google's blue links. GEO gets you into the AI-generated answer itself — which is where more and more searches are ending in 2026.
How CooVex helps
GEO Intelligence scan
CooVex analyzes your website and content against what AI systems are likely to cite. It identifies:
- Content gaps — topics your competitors cover that you do not
- Citation opportunities — formats that AI systems prefer (FAQ, how-to, comparison)
- Entity coverage — how well AI systems know your brand
- Authority signals — what makes you trustworthy to AI
AI-generated content
From each gap CooVex identifies, you can generate optimized content in one click. The content is automatically saved as a draft post in your Content Manager.
llms.txt
CooVex generates an llms.txt file — a structured document that tells AI crawlers exactly who you are, what you do, and what you want to be known for. Add it to your website root and AI systems will have accurate context about your business.
