GEO Does Not Replace SEO
Generative Engine Optimization builds on SEO fundamentals; it does not erase them.
GEO is not a reason to throw out SEO. It is a reason to make SEO more answer-aware.
Fast pages, crawlable content, clear titles, structured data, useful copy, and strong sources still matter. The difference is the outcome you measure.
Instead of only asking where you rank, ask whether an assistant would recommend you, cite you, or understand your business well enough to include you in an answer.
