GEO is how your content gets cited by AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, not just ranked on Google. This guide breaks down how to structure content for AI citations, how GEO compares with SEO and AEO, what tools to use, and how Knolli helps you generate GEO-first articles and monetizable copilots.

How to Add Schema & llms.txt for Better GEO Ranking
Want your blog to show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overviews?
It’s not just about writing good content anymore. You need to format it for machines. Two minor tweaks to the embedded schema and llms.txt can make a big difference.
Step 1: Add Embedded FAQ Schema
The FAQ Page schema helps AI models understand your content structure. It’s one of the most GEO-friendly formats available.
Why Use FAQ Schema?
Boosts visibility in Google AI Overviews
Helps ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity pull structured answers
Makes your content more machine-readable for summarization
Instructions:
Wrap this inside a<script type="application/ld+json"> ... </script> tag before publishing.
OR
Use a schema plugin (e.g., RankMath, Yoast) if you're on WordPress
If you’re in Webflow: paste this into the Custom Code → Footer or CMS template <head> section
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": "https://schema.org",
"@type": "FAQPage",
"mainEntity": [
{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "GEO is the process of optimizing your content to be cited, summarized, or quoted by generative AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity."
}
}
]
}
</script>
Step 2: Create an llms.txt File
Think of llms.txt as the robots.txt for LLMs. It tells generative AI what to index, learn from, and cite.
Open https://yoursite.com/llms.txt in your browser
Watch for crawlers like GPTBot(a web crawler developed by OpenAI to gather publicly available data from the internet) pinging that file.
Pro Tip: Want to scale this?
You can even create a GEO article generator on Knolli that formats posts automatically with FAQ schema and adds your content to a monetizable AI co-pilot. That means you can rank and get paid for what you teach.
Knolli is your AI-trained content engine built for GEO visibility and monetization.
Use Knolli in Two Powerful Ways:
Create a Geo-Optimized Article Generator
Build blog content with:
TL;DRs
Prompt-based headers (H2s = user queries)
Embedded schema markup
Linked sources & citations
Structured FAQs
Step 1: Click on Copilot Builder to create a GEO-Optimized Article Generator
Perfect for:
SEO teams
Editorial teams
Content marketing agencies
Step 2: Set the purpose of your Copilot by describing what it should do, who it assists, and how it responds.
Step 3: Choose a name for your Copilot
Step 4: Customize Your Knolli Profile
This is where your Knolli Copilot begins to feel truly yours.
Upload a profile picture to give your Knolli a distinct identity, whether it’s your company logo, your mascot, or a thematic avatar.
Control access settings:
Invite-only: Only specific users (your team, clients, or collaborators) can use this Knolli.
Open to everyone: Make it a discoverable Knolli, visible and usable by the public. → Ideal if you plan to Launch a Monetizable GEO AI Assistant
With Knolli, you can:
Upload blogs, research, docs, SOPs
Train your AI Copilot on your content
Let it answer questions 24/7
Gate access (Stripe/pay-per-chat)
Track usage and update knowledge live
💡 Tip: If you're creating a monetized Knolli, setting it to “Open to everyone” lets you share the AI assistant/Copilot via a public link, embed it on your site, and even enable subscriptions or pay-per-chat.
Step 5: Define What Info Your Copilot Should Collect
Here, Knolli helps you pre-define the context it needs to deliver better results.
Knolli will auto-suggest fields based on your AI’s purpose.
You can also add custom user inputs to fit your use case perfectly.
Example: If you're building a GEO-focused Knolli, you might add custom fields like:
“Which tools are you optimizing for (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)?”
“Do you have a blog post URL you'd like to optimize?”
Step 6: Upload Your Knowledge
This is where you train your Knolli Copilot with real content:
Upload documents (PDFs, Word files, Notion exports, etc.) to give it depth and accuracy.
You can also use Knolli’s AI-suggested knowledge templates as shown in the screenshot below.
Knolli uses these resources to personalize responses, reduce hallucinations, and deliver high-context answers every time.
Step 7: Launch Your Knolli Copilot & Start Using It
You're done! You now have a working AI copilot trained on your unique knowledge and purpose.
Keep refining it by chatting with it
Add prompts and examples it can learn from
Embed it on your website, share it publicly, or monetize it however you like
Pro Tip: If you're building a GEO-ready Knolli, you can turn it into:
A GEO article generator for your content or team
A monetized assistant for SEO managers and clients who want structured, AI-optimized outputs
A RAG-friendly AI agent that references your files, sources, and expertise
GEO-Optimized Content Creation with Knolli vs ChatGPT
With the rise of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), many SEO managers and content marketers are now looking for ways to optimize content for AI-first search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. While it’s possible to prompt ChatGPT manually to generate GEO-friendly content, this method is inconsistent and time-consuming.
Knolli provides a better alternative: You can build your own GEO article generator or custom AI co-pilot trained on your content library. Knolli makes it easy to generate content that’s designed for AI citation, retrievability, and multi-turn summarization without starting from scratch every time. And because it supports monetization, you can even gate access, offer subscriptions, or embed it on your site as a GEO-optimized co-pilot.
LLMs group info by people, places, and companies. Use structured About pages, NER-rich blurbs, and timeline summaries.
Risks & Ethical Red Flags
TL;DR: GEO optimization isn't about gaming the system. AI models actively penalize low-trust content.
Common GEO Pitfalls:
Risk
Why It Matters in GEO
Over-optimization
Keyword stuffing = flagged by AI as spammy or low-trust
Source hallucination
If your content lacks structure or citations, AI may misquote
Thin content
No clear answers = no citations = no visibility
Pro Tip
Use outbound links to trusted domains + clear formatting to improve quoteability
