SEO vs GEO

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO helps search engines crawl, understand and rank a business. Generative Engine Optimisation helps AI assistants understand, verify, compare and cite the business accurately.

Applies when

This is the buying situation.

This matters when a service business wants to be found both in Google search results and in AI-assisted answers.

Next step

Build the source system before promotion.

Applied West AI treats both as part of the Get Found stage, then connects the work to enquiry conversion and operations.

Boundary

No guaranteed rankings or AI recommendations.

The practical offer is to make the business easier to understand, verify and compare, then monitor how search and AI systems represent it.
