What is GEO Optimization (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing content to improve visibility and rankings in AI-powered search engines and generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google Gemini. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on web search engines, GEO ensures your content is discoverable, understandable, and cited by large language models.

How GEO works in Frontend Accelerator:

Frontend Accelerator incorporates GEO best practices into its content architecture, particularly in the glossary system. By structuring definitions, code examples, and contextual information in an AI-friendly format, your content becomes more likely to be referenced and cited by generative AI tools.

GEO Best Practices in Frontend Accelerator:

1. Structured Content:

• Clear definitions with context
• Code examples with explanations
• Practical use cases and applications
• AI-friendly formatting and annotations

2. Semantic Markup:

• Proper heading hierarchy
• Descriptive metadata
• Schema.org structured data
