AI search is changing how buyers discover technology companies, with more queries resolving through AI answers and zero-click results. This guide presents a five-step GEO strategy for getting into those recommendations: define the category you want to own, map target prompts and citation sources, build a consistent narrative, combine earned media with useful on-site content, and track which brands and sources AI systems actually surface.
