← Understanding GEO

Answers

Does GEO still need SEO?

Quick answer

Yes. GEO does not replace SEO. Clear fact pages, product information, technical crawlability, and structured data often serve both search discovery and generative understanding—but search performance and AI-answer change should be measured and reported separately.

Dropping SEO while chasing “model recommendations only” weakens the supply of authoritative readable information. Doing SEO only while ignoring GEO risks absence when buyers switch to AI questions.
