Summary

Rankings flat, traffic flat, pipeline gone. The shortlist got built inside an AI answer three weeks before anyone filled out a form, and your analytics will never show you that meeting.

TL;DR

Generative engine optimization is the work of getting quoted inside an AI answer. B2B pages get quoted when they make checkable claims: named numbers, named sources, plain definitions, and a straight answer about who the product is not for.
