SEO & GEO

Search engine optimization and generative engine optimization are how you earn organic, free traffic. Stop chasing stupid trends and start creating “best in class” content as I like to call it that gets found, shared and recommended.

Write for people first, then robots.

Let’s face it, the old game of “10 blue links” is dying. If you only optimize only for Google’s front page, you are fighting for scraps. Creating “97 best Instagram bios” may get you some traffic, but is it high converting traffic that likes and wants to buy from you? No.

Modern discovery happens in four places: Local maps, AI-generated answers, social like X and Reddit and finally good old Google. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is how you persuade ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity to cite your work as the definitive source.

Building brand authority is why you must structure your content so machines can’t ignore you and local customers can’t miss you. Optimize for the algorithm, but build for the answer.
