How to Build GEO Authority Without Traditional SEO

You’ve probably been told authority comes from backlinks, domain age, and traffic.

That’s true — for Google.

But when it comes to Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), traditional SEO signals don’t carry the same weight.

Instead, what matters is how clearly your brand is framed, described, and understood by LLMs.

Here’s how to build GEO authority from scratch — even without high DR or deep link equity.

If a model can't summarize you in 1 sentence, you're invisible.

Start every page with a crisp, declarative line:

“[Tool] is a [category] platform that helps [audience] achieve [result] using [method].”

Internal linking helps models connect the dots — just like Google does.

This isn’t SEO. It’s LLM visibility optimization.

You don’t need backlinks to be relevant in ChatGPT.

You need structure, clarity, and intent.

Start with PromptSeed and train the models to see you.
