How To Make Your Pages AI-Visible This Week: The GEO Refresh Playbook


TL;DR: You do not need a site rebuild. Pick 3 high-impact pages, add clear answers and entities, wire in schema, and point internal links at them. That is how you become the answer in AI Overviews while lifting classic rankings.


What is GEO and how does it work with SEO?

Generative Engine Optimization helps your content get cited inside AI answers while SEO continues to win blue links. Use SEO to improve speed, UX, and topical depth. Use GEO to structure answers, name entities, and add schema so assistants can quote you.


Which pages should I refresh first?

Start with three that already have traction and intent.

  • A services page that gets traffic but low conversions

  • A blog post that ranks between positions 5 and 20

  • A resource page your sales team sends to prospects


How do I add entities without keyword stuffing?

Entities are specific people, products, places, and standards that models can verify. Name them clearly.


Examples to name on-page  (to fit your industry/topic): Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, E-E-A-T, Schema.org, JSON-LD, Google Search Console. If you have an electricial company, you might use National Electrical Code (NEC) — esp. NEC 625 for EV charging, NEMA 14-50 outlet, Level 2 EV charger, Tesla Wall Connector, UL-Listed equipment, GFCI/AFCI protection, etc.



How do I structure the content so AI can lift an answer?

Use question-based H2s. Put a two-sentence answer right after the heading, then add details.


H2: How do I get cited in Google’s AI Overview

Put a two-sentence answer directly under the heading. Name one or two entities and include a short bullet list of steps. Add a single source link to a standards page. Close with a call to action that leads to a related service or guide.


Template

  • H2: How does [topic] work

  • 2-sentence answer: Put the clear answer right after the H2

  • Bullets: 3–5 steps or key factors

  • Source line: 1 trusted citation or example


Example: H2: How much does it cost to install a Level 2 EV charger in Raleigh?

A typical Level 2 EV charger install ranges from $900 to $1,800 depending on panel capacity and distance to the parking spot. Our licensed electricians handle the City of Raleigh permit, use UL-Listed equipment, and install either a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a Tesla Wall Connector as required.

  • Verify panel capacity and breaker availability

  • Pull the City of Raleigh permit

  • Install UL-Listed equipment and either a NEMA 14-50 or Tesla Wall Connector

  • Ensure NEC 625 compliance and GFCI/AFCI protection where required

  • Apply for available Duke Energy rebates

Which schema should I add today?

Start with FAQ and HowTo on pages that truly teach. Add Article with author, date, and headline on every post. Validate with a rich-results tester.


Fast wins

  • FAQ: three buyer questions with 40–60 word answers

  • HowTo: a short checklist for the task readers


How can I strengthen E-E-A-T quickly?

Show lived experience and clear authorship.

  • Add a byline, headshot, and 2-line bio with credentials

  • Include one mini case snippet with a specific result

  • Cite at least one reputable external source

  • Publish an editorial note if you updated the article this week


What internal links help both AI and users?

Add 3 to 5 contextual links from related pages with descriptive anchor text.

Example anchors (to fit your industry/topic): Generative Engine Optimization guide, GEO audit, AI-optimized content services. Add one trusted external citation to clarify a standard or definition.


How do I track citations and share of voice?

Log when your brand or page appears inside an AI answer and capture the query. Track weekly alongside impressions, average position, and conversions in Search Console and your analytics tool. Note which passages got quoted so you can replicate the pattern.
