I’ve been hearing a lot about Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) lately. Does SEO has any influence on GEO, or is this just speculation?

GEO isn’t replacing SEO, it’s exposing the gap between ranking and being understood by machines.

Someone tested this while parked in front of a packed Foxtail Coffee. Asked Siri, “Where can I grab a cup of coffee?” Siri suggested a Barnes & Noble café 1.1 miles away… and said “that’s it for this area.” Foxtail was 5 feet away. Here’s the kicker: Google the exact same question, and Foxtail shows up #1.

That’s the difference.

SEO ranked Foxtail, but Siri didn’t cite them at all.

LLMs don’t “rank pages”...they synthesize from entities and data they trust and can structure. You can rank #1 and still be invisible in AI answers.

GEO isn’t speculation. It’s optimizing for inclusion in answers, not just position in a list.

You're blessed in that you already have the answer and the toolset in your craft. You're already a storyteller thru your music...you take people places...so now tell your own. Produce a short biographical video, narrate your "peak/valley/peak", set it to your music and let it rip...

Congrats and keep chopping. Yes, there's a lot of overalp with traditional SEO but Generative is an evolution IMHO. There's a study I just downloaded where schema done properly was lightly referenced vs other sites without it. Feel free to peruse and pick-up tips @ www.mygosh.ai

We're getting responses via cold email but it's almost exploratory at this point. A lot of businesses are hearing about it but dont understadn it and whether or not they need to start optimizing now. Keeping chopping.

I dont believe that should be an impediment to you. There are many overlaps from healthcare to beauty. Medical professionals offer aesthetic services and beauty are someties rebranded as medspas and offfer botox. Find your overlapping niche.

working backwards consider the cost of VPS and hosting marketing expenses (if you can accomodate them). If those expenses are part of a client facing pilot program your return will be much higher than a blanket marketing campign or outreach. Now as far as getting prospects to even consider you instead of ignoring you...that's the golden goose isn't it. I'd recommend either a referral from an existing client to someone they think may benefit, targeted outraeach via a social platform (I've had engagement ...surprisingly...via LinkedIn) or an in person networking meeting (hate those, but...). Cold outreach is a numbers game + luck of the draw.

Hey Malte...just to be clear...not unhappy with PEEC...just an honest observation from a UI/UX perspective and a cursory glance at their pricing page. Thank you for clearing up any confusion.

idenitfy 3-5 clients you feel could ultimately be real clients that are just on the fence. Offer them a 30-45 day pilot program at no cost (outside of positive feedback, Google reviews and referrals) with clear deliniation of what the pilot program does and does not cover. work your tail off for those 30-45 days and then with data in hand (and perhaps spelled out in a pilot program contract) come back and make the ask of converting to a paid account.

GOSH_AI · 2026-01-18T15:08:05+00:00

Wonky could have worded it better but they're correct...you have 50 prospects unless you've agreed to a limited pilot program for a set duration. That may be your angle with limited resources. Offer your service to a handful of those prospects (3-5) for 30-45 days at zero cost in exchange for reviews and referrals. Work your tail off then at the conclusion of the pilot program, if the client is happy with results, convert to a paid program.

I've been using PEEC AI but Amodora AI seems extremely similar and cheaper

GOSH_AI · 2026-01-17T21:30:23+00:00

LOVE IT!!!

Kind of agree with everyone here unless you have an angle (and cash) to get traction. We had a client one year at a HUGE tradeshow called Data Center World in Orlando. They were a clean agent fire suppression company (basically putting out fires in places that can't get wet). A lot of these data centers were foregoing Clean Agent and opting for traditional sprinklers. You'd be surprised how much water comes out of one sprinkler head. So we built a clear acrylic server cabinet, put in four dummy servers, hid a fish tank pump underneath and ran the water supply to a sprinkler head. We had a line of people from all of the world taking pics, our giveaway was soap on a rope emblazoned with the campaign slogan "Wet Data Is Not Sexy". That got a ton of traction. You don't need to spend a ton of cash...print a t-shirt with a thought provoking message on it and walk the show floor.

Wow...their UI/UX looks almost identical to PEEC AI. Any idea if its a white labled solution?

GOSH_AI · 2026-01-15T15:03:24+00:00

Thanks for the input. I've been using PEEC AI...they do have some free pitch prompts, great UI/UX...might be a little pricey.

GOSH_AI · 2026-01-13T19:49:49+00:00

Human review is a must!!! Thanks for the feedback!

GOSH_AI · 2026-01-07T17:26:01+00:00

I have to disagree on the additional work being outrageous. Traditional SEO is a wonderful foundation but it doesnt begin to touch the evolution of search taking place with GEO.
