what is geo/ai search, and why should you know about it? (save this) some developer tools are getting 80% of their customers from llms. how does this organic traffic happen? how does it compare to seo? this is our explainer video, hope it helps anyone!

we especially hope it helps hackers and businesses building their own geo visibility!

oml

appendix: for anyone interested in further reading, this is a research paper form on this. i believe these guys are the ones who coined the term GEO (not very confident here but i think so.)

yes! we be reading more papers as well

How do you quantify the impact of GEO?

LFG goats

devtools getting 80% of customers from llms, geo/ai search is the new seo playbook

absolutely yes

I was working on geo at @BeCitable we can chat!

@BeCitable sure!

is this what your startups seeks to solve/offer to businesses?

is this different than AEO?

aeo is more to be the direct answer and geo is more abt being the trusted recommendation. however, yeah lol there's a lot of overlap to just get mentioned in an llm

Cool!

Needed this!! Amazing!

🫡🫡🤝🤝

seo was writing for crawlers. geo is writing for the only reader that actually finishes the page

yee

W haris!!

The shift from search to answer engines makes distribution part of the product loop. It is useful to pair the visibility claim with retention and conversion data, so builders can tell attention from durable demand.

Yee

that's peak!! GEO here we go!

let's go!!

Thnks

Good explainer. One thing I'd add: before writing new content, check the assistants can read your site at all. Lots of sites block AI crawlers in robots.txt without knowing, or render everything in JavaScript so there's nothing to read. Boring fixes, but they come first.

Been comparing a couple for our geo tracking. Have simple formula, pick the one claude suggested me as they surely cracked their own geo xD

nice, i'd look into this, thanks jia

ofc!

Curious how that splits by platform for dev tools. I'd guess Claude drives a way bigger share there than it does in most categories.

jiaaaaaaa!!!

yayyy

btw, loved this!!

thank u !!

Frr

Interesting take, seeing AI driven search replace keyword rankings means content must be machine readable and authoritative to surface in LLM answers

Very informative, thanks 👍

this is a super interesting field, thank you for sharing!

cool stuff!

this is the topic many founder ignore or don't know about, need more content around it

Quick question - does it help service businesses? How does it look like for them?

very very cool, lessgoo🚀

Hi Jia! 👋 I just reached out via email regarding a potential collaboration and wanted to follow up here in case my message got buried. Would love to connect when you get a chance! 😊

The 80% number is the part I’d want to see the data behind. 👀 But the bigger shift is real: LLMs can become a discovery channel before someone ever searches Google. SEO gets you found in search; GEO/AI search is about becoming the answer.
