Generative Engine Optimization: Is this the Death of SEO?

Generative Engine Optimization: Is This the Death of SEO Blog Banner

For the longest time, Google has held the crown as the go-to search engine for every query that people might have. 

Google’s overarching popularity gave birth to search engine optimization, a process by which web owners can compete and rank their pages for a given search query.

But with the advent of generative AI and the rise of large language models, will generative engines (GE), like ChatGPT or Gemini, replace search engines as the primary mode of information?

In a 19-page research study, six researchers from various universities (Princeton University, Georgia Tech, IIT Delhi, and Allen Institute of AI) believe so. 

SEO arguably transformed the marketing world during the reign of search engines. However, as AI-oriented generative engines rapidly increase in popularity, the researchers believe “Generative Engine Optimization” is the new modern paradigm in marketing. 

According to them, GEO aims to boost the visibility of content creators in generative engine responses.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at generative engine optimization. Flesh out its advantages and disadvantages, differentiate GEO vs SEO, explore how you can implement GEO, and, ultimately, answer the golden question: is GEO the death of SEO?

Is Generative AI the Future of Content Marketing Blog Banner

Ever since the advent of ChatGPT, generative AI has been sort of a hot and sensitive topic across various industries, and for good reason!

Forget the paranoia that artificial intelligence might take over humanity and usher in the age of the Matrix. The most imminent threat of generative AI is automation, putting people’s livelihoods in a vulnerable position.

Given humanity’s penchant for wealth and convenience, it’s only natural for big companies to explore the capabilities of AI to serve their bottom line. Part of this campaign is leveraging AI to automate sectors within businesses that could use less human resources and more robots.

One of these branches is content marketing

Before the AI craze, digital marketers took pride in bridging the gap between companies and customers through content. 

While content marketing does the job of attracting organic traffic, it’s no secret that content creation is a massive time-consumer and budget depleter. 

Therefore, generative AI seems like the perfect compromise that satisfies the need for said wealth and convenience. 

Today, Forbes says more than half of marketers actively use generative AI with 22% more planning to adopt it soon, believing it can save them an average of 5 hours of work per week. Comfort aside, however, a few questions have circulated my thoughts, like:

  • Do the benefits of AI in marketing extend to content quality?
  • Is generative AI for content marketing effective, metrics-wise?
  • Is generative AI the future of content marketing?

Let’s explore the answers here today.
