Developer hits 3 clients in one week demanding GEO over SEO
daluoseo · x · 2026-11-04
Developer daluoseo shares a telling market observation: in a single week, 3 clients came in saying they mainly want GEO (generative engine optimization) and are skipping SEO for now — "no idea which guru sold them on it."
The takeaway: brands are fast-forwarding AI-search visibility budgets ahead of traditional SEO. For indie developers and growth/agency operators, paid GEO/AEO demand is already real and looks like a live revenue niche.
