GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) And the Tinkerbell Effect

December 5, 2025 Alexander Thomas

GEO is arguably a made-up concept by the SEO industry that has become real simply because we all decided to believe in it.  It is not an objective physical law but a set of practices that works primarily because the industry decided it should exist.  Here’s the short version, Generative Engine Optimization is essentially a […]

November 18, 2025 Alexander Thomas

SEO has changed more in the last 18 months than it did in the previous five years combined. Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it certainly feels that way.  And if you’re still treating search optimization like it’s 2022, you’re already behind.  The rules have shifted, the players have multiplied & what worked before might actually […]
