The GEO Playbook
Increase Brand Visibility with Mentions & Citations in AI Search
Our GEO Playbook is more than just an SEO manual for AI search. It’s your roadmap for thriving in the era of generative AI, where visibility isn’t just about blue links anymore, it’s about being the trusted source that AI engines cite.
Marketing teams must prepare to move beyond outdated keyword tactics and into the world of Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), because buyers today aren’t searching the way they used to. This playbook provides invaluable, actionable insights for senior marketers, strategists, SEO specialists, content writers and PR teams.
Compiled with insights built on practical experience from AccuraCast’s GEO experts and industry research, our playbook breaks down the technical differences between traditional SEO and GEO, explains why citation authority is the new currency, and gives you a 14-point action plan to maintain trust, visibility, and measurable impact in the citation economy.
