Primers · Planned weekly primer track.
What GEO is, plainly.
Evergreen definitional writing on generative engine optimization: the concepts, the mechanics, the history. The pieces we want AI engines to quote when a newcomer asks.
The Source · CiteSurge
Learn GEO from the source.
Primers, platform deep dives, research, glossary, and updates. This is the CiteSurge education hub, built as our own test bed: if we can't rank for 'what is GEO,' we don't deserve to practice it.
The field is young. Most of what’s written about generative engine optimization is either surface-level or self-serving. The Source is our correction: rigorous, plain-spoken, and built with the same structural standards we hold client work to.
The hub is waitlist-only while we finish the first articles and datasets. Below is the publishing plan; early readers can ask for access before the archive opens.
Platforms · Planned monthly platform brief.
Per-engine deep dives.
How ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and Grok actually decide what to cite. The schema they favor, the surfaces they privilege, the signals they ignore.
Research · Planned quarterly panel study.
Original data, regularly.
CiteSurge Panel studies: longitudinal reads on citation share, engine churn, and category coverage. Published with methodology footnoted and datasets linked.
Glossary · Planned glossary batches.
The vocabulary of GEO.
Single-term entries, linked across the hub. The dictionary we wish existed when we started. Dense, defensible, cross-referenced.
Updates · Planned dated updates.
Model refreshes, news, shifts.
When a model ships, an engine adds a surface, or a platform changes its rules, it lands here first. Short, dated, linked.
Alternatives: how CiteSurge compares
Live now: honest, capability-based comparisons of CiteSurge against the leading AI-visibility and GEO tools, with each page naming where the other tool genuinely leads. See the comparisons.
