Glossary
GEO means generative engine optimization. It is the practice of improving how a company appears in AI-generated answers, AI Overviews, LLM responses, and retrieval-based search systems.
AI search visibility is the degree to which a company appears, is cited, or is recommended in AI-generated answers across tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.
Citation architecture is the structured improvement of the owned and third-party sources that support a company's authority across search engines, AI systems, and buyer research environments.
Embedding-level GEO focuses on how AI systems interpret meaning, relationships, entities, categories, services, and topical relevance.
Vector optimization improves semantic alignment between a company's content and the topics, problems, entities, and buying questions that define its market.
Cosine gap analysis identifies the semantic distance between how a company wants to be understood and how AI systems appear to compare that company against competitors, cited sources, and category-defining content.
Source-layer authority is the public evidence around a company, including third-party articles, review sites, directories, comparison pages, community discussions, videos, social profiles, and industry mentions.
A Visibility Audit identifies where a company is losing visibility across Google rankings, AI answers, citation sources, competitor positioning, technical SEO, content structure, entity clarity, and source-layer authority.
