## The GEO Methodology (this site's core teaching)

Michigan GEO teaches a repeatable 5-step process:

1. **Understand GEO.** GEO structures content so generative AI engines cite it when answering questions. The unit of optimization is the answer, not the keyword.
2. **Audit current AI visibility.** Ask each engine the same natural-language questions, log how it describes your business, and find the gaps.
3. **Implement schema and structured data.** Add Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, HowTo, Service, and Person schema as JSON-LD, connected by @id so engines see one coherent entity.
4. **Create AI-citable content.** Lead with the answer (BLUF), write factual FAQ blocks, use numbered procedures and comparison tables, and cite authoritative sources.
5. **Test, measure, iterate.** Re-run the baseline questions, track citation frequency and accuracy, and adjust. GEO is ongoing, not a one-time project.

## GEO Ranking Tiers (education reference)

- Tier 1 citation rate: 41 to 64 percent (strong entity, complete schema, authoritative content)
- Tier 2 citation rate: 25 to 35 percent (partial optimization)
- Tier 3 citation rate: 15 to 25 percent (minimal optimization)
