The Startup Ideas Podcast

what the heck is GEO (AI search, rankings, $$$)


Listen Later

Join me as I chat with Cody Schneider about AI Search. Cody explains that while AI search (GEO) is generating buzz, it currently represents a small portion of overall search volume compared to traditional search engines. The value lies in highly qualified leads, with conversion rates of 10-40% from AI search traffic. To optimize for AI search, businesses need to identify which URLs are being referenced by AI for relevant queries and work to get their brand mentioned on those pages.

Key Points:

• AI search works by expanding user queries into multiple derivative searches, then scraping top Google results

• Most effective for businesses with long purchasing decision timelines (SaaS, local service businesses)

• Success requires getting your brand mentioned on multiple high-ranking pages that AI references
