Welcome to GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
Traditional SEO was about ranking on the first page of Google with blue links. Today, users are getting their answers directly from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews.
If your website isn't optimized for these Generative Engines, you are invisible to the next generation of searchers.
The Problem with JavaScript-Heavy Sites
Many modern websites rely heavily on JavaScript (like standard React or Vue apps) to render their content. While Googlebot can eventually render JS, many AI crawlers struggle with it. If they can't read your content instantly, they won't cite you.
The Fix: Use server-side rendering (SSR) or static site generation (SSG). At Krinok, we build sites using raw HTML or frameworks like Next.js that serve fully formed HTML to crawlers.
3 Things Your Site Needs for AI Search
- llms.txt: Just like
robots.txttells crawlers what they can access, anllms.txtfile provides a clean, markdown-formatted map of your site's most important information specifically designed for LLMs to ingest. - Citable Passages: AI engines love concise, factual information. Ensure your pages have 130-160 word blocks that clearly answer specific questions. FAQ schema is excellent for this.
- Entity Authority: AI models cite entities they trust. Ensure your brand is mentioned across high-authority platforms (Reddit, Wikipedia, LinkedIn) and tie it all together with robust
OrganizationandPersonSchema markup on your site.
