Section 1 — The week in your world
Princeton and Georgia Tech publish the first controlled study of GEO (generative engine optimisation — the practice of tuning content so AI tools cite your brand when answering a user's question). Their five tested techniques produced a 40% lift in citation rates across the LLMs they tested. For you, this is the first piece of evidence that GEO can be measured rather than vibe-checked. Your competitors' top-of-funnel pages are now quietly playing in a second arena that you aren't explicitly tracking. [Opportunity]
Section 3 — Worth a conversation
Say to your head of content or SEO lead:
“Have we checked whether Perplexity or ChatGPT surfaces us when buyers ask about HR software for mid-market UK companies? There's a new Princeton study showing GEO can lift citation rates by 40% — we should at minimum have a baseline before Q3 planning.”
