Entity clarity
Your page should state plainly who you are, what you do, and where you operate. AI systems cite sources with a clear identity; vague pages get paraphrased without attribution.
GEO
What is GEO — Generative Engine Optimization?
GEO asks a simple question: when an AI system summarizes your topic, is your page a source worth citing? Citable content is clear about who is speaking, what is claimed, and why it can be trusted.
A citable summary near the top
A short factual paragraph that answers the main question directly is the easiest thing for an AI system to quote. Bury the point and it gets skipped.
Structure and depth
One clear H1, descriptive subheadings, and enough substance to be a real source. Thin pages with little text give generative engines nothing to work with.
Authorship and freshness
Visible authorship and publish/update dates matter especially for articles: fresh, attributed sources are preferred when answers cite their material.
How is GEO different from AEO?
AEO covers machine-readability: structured data, crawler access, and Q&A formats. GEO covers the content itself — whether it is clear, attributed, and substantial enough to be cited. You need both.
Can GEO be measured?
Readiness can; actual citations cannot. Sitequiry scores citability signals — entity clarity, structure, summary quality, authorship — and says so explicitly.
