What Does This Expert Do?
The GEO expert role centres on a few core skills: understanding how generative models retrieve, weight and quote sources; building the entity signals and structured data that help a model trust a brand; testing across multiple models rather than assuming one platform's rules apply everywhere; and continuously adapting as models update — often monthly.
