SEO and GEO share a base
Generative engine optimization builds on good SEO: clear pages, trustworthy sources and a site that is easy to crawl. The difference is that AI assistants summarize and recommend, so being quoted accurately matters as much as ranking.
What to do
- Create service and comparison pages that answer the real buyer question first.
- Publish French and English versions with proper language tags, not just a translated copy.
- Keep name, address and services consistent across your site and profiles.
- Add structured data for organization, services, FAQs and articles.
- Earn mentions from credible industry sources.
Check your AI visibility
- Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI the questions your buyers ask.

- Fix gaps with better pages and sources, then re-check monthly.
