GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)জেনারেটিভ ইঞ্জিন অপ্টিমাইজেশন
Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of making a page easy for generative engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini to ground their answers in. It requires content that LLM crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot can index, written with specific dated facts and plain-language explainers.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
In practice
GEO is what happens after AEO: the engine isn't just citing you, it's grounding its entire generated answer in your prose. The unlock is making sure your content is indexable by the LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot — see robots.txt) AND making the content easy to ground in (specific dated facts, plain-language explainers, glossary cross-links).

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring a page so AI-driven answer engines, including Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot and voice assistants, cite it as the source for direct answers. It combines answer-first prose with explicit JSON-LD, such as FAQPage, HowTo or DefinedTerm, and factual accuracy.

llms.txt
llms.txt is a plain-text file at /llms.txt that gives AI engines a curated, link-rich summary of a site to ground from, analogous to robots.txt for crawlers. It follows the llmstxt.org convention, and a companion /llms-full.txt carries the concatenated full text. Both should serve HTTP 200 directly, never redirects.
Open
robots.txt
robots.txt is a plain-text file at /robots.txt that tells crawlers which paths they are allowed to fetch. It can explicitly allow named crawlers, such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Bingbot, and disallow private paths like /manage. Allowing AI crawlers is a deliberate choice so pages can be cited in AI answers.
