# Optimisation des moteurs génératifs (GEO)

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing content to rank in AI-generated search responses from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional SEO which targets blue links, GEO uses structured data (JSON-LD), authoritative sourcing, and fact-dense content to ensure AI models cite your brand as the verified answer.

## Why GEO is Replacing Traditional SEO

The search landscape has fundamentally shifted. When users ask ChatGPT "What are the best running shoes?", they receive one direct answer with citations—not 10 blue links to explore. Google's AI Overviews now appear in 60% of searches, pushing traditional results below the fold. This means ranking #1 on Google longer guarantees visibility if AI models cite your competitors instead. GEO addresses this by making your content "citation-worthy" through structured markup (JSON-LD schema), knowledge graph alignment, and E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust). The shift is urgent: businesses not optimizing for GEO are losing 40-70% of potential traffic to AI-powered search interfaces.
