Frequently asked questions
Multimodal GEO refers to optimizing not just text, but images, charts, videos, and voice content so they can be effectively interpreted and surfaced by generative AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.
Unlike SEO, which targets keyword-based ranking on web pages, GEO focuses on how AI models interpret, summarize, and cite your content in natural language responses. It’s more about context, authority, and factual grounding than keyword density.
Generative engines increasingly pull visual and contextual cues from multimodal content. Structured, annotated, and captioned visuals help AI systems understand and cite your brand’s assets in richer responses.
