GEO relies on Answer-First (BLUF) summaries in the first 500 bytes, high fact/metric density, question-based H2 headings paired with FAQPage JSON-LD, structured HTML comparison tables, IndexNow instant indexing, and machine-readable `/llms.txt` and `/llms-full.txt` corpora.

Example

“Adding BLUF takeaways, fact tables, and `/llms-full.txt` increases a tech portal's citation share in Perplexity and ChatGPT Search.
