About the curator

Hi, I'm Bernd.

I lead an organic app marketing team and spend my days figuring out how people discover things in app stores, in search, and now inside AI.

When AI started reshaping discovery, I couldn't find a single place that mapped the AEO and GEO tool landscape properly. So I built one for marketers like me who need to navigate this space without the noise.

§ IV — Questions from the floor

FAQ

GEO is the practice of improving how your brand and content are discovered, interpreted, and cited by AI-driven answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. It builds on traditional SEO foundations but shifts focus toward structured content, citation authority, and machine-readable formatting.
