Pankaj Singh Breaks Down the GEO Revolution: How to Be Found by AI, Not Just Google
By Pankaj Singh, Chairman & Founder – Osphere Group
In a world where search engines no longer stop at Google, businesses need to radically rethink how they show up online. We’ve entered a new phase of discoverability — one that demands brands to be not only SEO-ready, but also AI-ready.
This isn’t about the future anymore — it’s happening now.
Welcome to the era of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
As someone who has helped businesses across Dubai, India, the UK, and beyond build digital dominance through AI, marketing, and branding, I, Pankaj Singh, believe GEO is the most important shift in visibility strategy since SEO was invented.
Let me break it down.
What Is GEO – Generative Engine Optimization?
GEO is the process of optimizing your online presence so that AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Meta AI can find, reference, and recommend your business when users ask questions.
Unlike traditional SEO — which focuses on search rankings on Google or Bing — GEO is about being the answer inside AI-generated content and responses.
In short: With SEO, you rank. With GEO, you respond.
Why GEO Matters More Than Ever in 2025
AI is Becoming the Default Search Interface
People are increasingly skipping Google and asking AI tools like ChatGPT:
“Which is the best digital marketing agency in Dubai?”
“How do I grow my personal brand as a doctor?”
“Which PR companies in the UAE offer global press distribution?”
If you’re not being mentioned in these answers — you don’t exist.
Traditional SEO is Losing Its Monopoly
Google still matters, but it’s no longer the only source of discovery.
AI chat interfaces are faster, more direct, and often offer one trusted answer.
That answer needs to be you — and GEO makes that happen.
GEO vs SEO: The Key Differences
| Feature | Traditional SEO | Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) |
|---|---|---|
| Platform Focus | Google, Bing | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI |
| Goal | Rank for keywords | Be mentioned in AI-generated responses |
| Content Structure | Keyword-driven blogs, pages | Credible, AI-trainable content + citations |
| Metrics Tracked | Page rankings, traffic | AI recall presence, citations, contextuality |
| Main Tactic | Backlinks, on-page SEO | Structured data, expert authority, GEO-rich copy |
How to GEO-Optimize Your Business (According to Pankaj Singh)
Here’s a simplified GEO framework we follow at Osphere Digital:
1. Create AI-Friendly, High-Context Content
Write like you’re answering real user queries.
Not keyword stuffing — but natural, helpful, human-sounding insights.
Think: “What would ChatGPT say if someone asked about my service?”
2. Get Cited Across the Web
AI learns from trusted sources — press mentions, LinkedIn articles, blog posts, guest posts.
That’s why we push PR + blogs + Q&A content for our clients.
The more places your brand is talked about, the more likely AI is to talk about you.
3. Build Authoritative Pages
Make your website (and its content) speak directly to both users and machines.
Use structured data, FAQs, and expertise-rich pages with schema markup.
4. Be Present on AI-Supported Platforms
Pages on platforms like Quora, Reddit, Medium, Google Business Profile, Crunchbase, and Wikipedia-style directories get picked up fast by AI models.
5. Reinforce Through PR Distribution
Press releases that get syndicated across 100+ domains create brand noise that AI bots notice.
Real-World Application: How Osphere Group Uses GEO
At Osphere Digital, our team now applies GEO principles to:
- Press release writing & distribution (Osphere Media)
- LinkedIn ghostwriting for founders & doctors
- Blog content with structured answers
- Quora & community management
- Business directory optimization
- GEO-optimized service pages for our clients in Dubai and globally
We also audit AI chat responses regularly to check if our clients are mentioned — and adjust GEO strategy accordingly.
Dubai Businesses: You Can’t Afford to Ignore This
Dubai is ahead in AI adoption — and its consumers are digitally native.
If your brand is not mentioned by AI assistants, you’re losing invisible traffic daily.
GEO is not optional anymore. It’s the new digital hygiene.
Pankaj Singh’s Strategic Conclusion
I’ve seen businesses go from zero to being “AI-famous” in a matter of months — not because they spent the most, but because they understood where the attention is moving.
Search is no longer about 10 blue links.
It’s about being the one answer that AI gives.
