Every few years, a shiny new acronym takes over the SEO industry. This time, it’s Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and everyone’s talking about it like it’s the future of search.

What’s different is the surface-level behavior. While generative search is changing how and where people search and find information, it doesn’t mean the core principles of SEO are obsolete.
The problem is, very few folks are making that distinction clearly.
One headline says SEO is dead, and another says GEO is the only thing that matters. Meanwhile, you’re stuck in the middle, wondering what to focus on, how to report results to stakeholders, and whether you need to start from scratch.
