Full definition
GEO describes efforts to make information discoverable, understandable and usable in AI-generated answers. It does not guarantee citations.
Concrete Shopify example
Illustrative example: a platform comparison gives specific criteria, limitations and sources. Its table helps readers choose; it does not mechanically trigger an AI citation.
My take
For Google’s AI features, retain accessible, indexable and consistent content. No special schema is required. One engine’s guidance should not be generalized to every other engine.
