Decision guide

Do I need GEO?

Direct answer

You likely need GEO if a meaningful share of your buyers research using AI assistants, or if competitors already appear in AI-generated answers for your category's core questions.

Decision criteria

  • Whether AI Overviews or similar generative results already appear for your core search terms
  • How technical or comparison-heavy your buying decision is (higher AI-assistant usage in these categories)
  • Whether you've checked and don't currently know your GEO status

Cost considerations

A GEO benchmark is a relatively low-cost way to answer this question directly rather than guessing.

Our recommendation

If you're unsure, the fastest path is a benchmark — it either confirms GEO isn't yet a priority, or shows exactly where the gap is.
