Let’s get one thing straight before the industry turns “GEO” into yet another three-letter source of confusion. Generative engine optimization isn’t SEO with a new hat and a LinkedIn carousel. It’s a fundamentally different game. If you’re still debating whether to swap the “S” for a “G,” you’ve already missed the point.
