We coined the name today. This page is the first one built, and it is about itself: every question on the head is one of the eight this site exists to answer, plus a ninth, held back, that nobody sees.

The other 20% is two specific things we would rather name precisely than dress up into a longer list. "SEO vs GEO" is the highest-demand question on this page, pulling roughly 1,900 Google searches a month as of this week.

It takes a fixed set of buyer questions, run through every engine that matters to you, repeatedly, with a stated rule for what counts as a real answer and what doesn't. "AI visibility tracking tool" pulls about 390 Google searches a month as of this week, almost entirely commercial intent, which tells us buyers are already shopping for this rather than building it themselves.

Only about 11% of source domains get cited by both ChatGPT and Perplexity for the same query. Optimizing for one engine can do nothing at all on another. Searches for "how to get cited by ChatGPT" specifically are up 247% month over month as of this week, which suggests more buyers are starting to ask this question per engine rather than assuming one answer covers...]]></description><link>https://www.faqtopus.com/post/how-do-you-get-cited-by-chatgpt-claude-gemini-and-perplexity</link><guid isPermaLink="false">faae6894-a3c0-4218-9423-a305a9857d55</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2026 19:56:45 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Charles Stack &amp; Sela</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Is Generative Engine Optimization?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Generative engine optimization, GEO, is the practice of making a company's content easy for an AI answer engine such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity to retrieve, quote, and name, instead of easy for a search engine to rank. The page you are reading it on is built as a live test of the idea, not a description of one.

Engines can ingest a page weeks or months before naming it in an answer, if they ever do, and most timelines you'll see quoted in this category describe the first, easier thing rather than the second, harder one. Searches for how long SEO takes to show results are up roughly 3,100% year over year as of this week, a sharp rise that reads as more buyers asking a timeline question before committing budget, not fewer.

It is functionally the same goal as generative engine optimization, GEO. The difference is lineage, not substance: AEO grew out of the search-marketing industry's own vocabulary, GEO out of a 2023 academic paper. Use whichever term your buyer already uses.
