What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
GEO is the practice of optimizing content to be cited by AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity,
Claude, and Google Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in search results, GEO ensures
your content is selected as an authoritative source when AI assistants generate answers. RiseRank's GEO
analysis identifies improvements to increase AI citation rates by 2-3x. Learn more on our

markup, entity recognition, semantic HTML.

What is AI-Readability?
AI-Readability is RiseRank's proprietary metric measuring how well AI language models can understand and
cite your content. High AI-Readability means AI systems are more likely to recommend your content as an
authoritative source. Over 40% of searches now go through AI assistants, making this crucial for visibility.
