Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of making content easy for AI‑mediated search experiences to find, understand, trust, and route people back to. It overlaps heavily with SEO, but puts greater emphasis on clear answers, strong source signals, and content that remains useful when search journeys are conversational rather than keyword‑led.
Below you will find a subset of articles from my blog specifically about Generative Engine Optimisation and more general technical SEO for JavaScript applications. This is an area I have worked with for many years, and it has been a regular subject in my writing. There are nine articles collected together for you below.

Google's old exchange was simple: crawl the web and send traffic back. AI search weakens that bargain by answering more journeys before the click.

Cloudflare Pay Per Crawl, AWS WAF AI Traffic Monetization and AI crawlers show crawler access becoming commercial infrastructure, not just bot control.

GEO and SEO overlap, but they are not interchangeable. This article breaks down where they meet, where they differ, and how websites need to adapt.

What GEO is, where it overlaps with SEO and AEO, and why crawlability, evidence, structure and practical judgement matter more than AI tricks.
