How is GEO different from a ranking shortcut?
GEO focuses on visibility in generated answers, but useful content, sourcing and accessibility remain fundamental. Mentions, linked citations and visits are different outcomes. Record live observations with their context rather than treating a simulation or one favorable answer as durable visibility.
- Answer the actual question with its important qualifications.
- Cite reliable evidence for material claims.
- Do not present special markup as a citation guarantee.
- Separate mentions, citations and business outcomes.
