Practical guide: Get your editorial strategy ready for GEO

The rules of brand visibility have changed. Generative AI has become the primary entry point to information for a growing share of audiences. It doesn’t return a ranked list of links. It produces a direct answer, drawn from sources it deems credible and well-structured.

GEO – Generative Engine Optimisation – is the strategic response: building editorial content that AI engines can read, understand, and choose to use. Not a replacement for SEO. A necessary extension of it.

This guide gives communication and marketing leaders a practical framework for diagnosing their current AI visibility, restructuring their content approach, and identifying the platforms and formats that now determine whether their voice is heard.

Challenges

How do you ensure your company’s visibility in AI-generated responses?

As AI engines embed themselves into everyday search habits, they are reshaping how content is distributed. Editorial performance no longer rests solely on traffic metrics, it depends on the ability to structure content that AI can actually use.

This raises a set of critical questions: controlling your narrative, ensuring the accuracy of AI-generated information about your organisation, aligning SEO and GEO strategies, choosing the right formats, and activating the right distribution channels. Each of these parameters must be integrated into an editorial strategy built for the way audiences now search.
