In this episode of the Nata PR School Podcast, Natalie Bibeau breaks down how Public Relations and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) work hand in hand — and why this combination is your biggest competitive advantage in the AI era.

SEO makes you discoverable.

GEO makes you impossible to ignore.

But how do you actually get mentioned in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini?

The answer might surprise you: Public Relations.

With AI transforming the way people search for information, it's no longer enough to rank on Google.

Your content needs to be "mentionable" and "citable" — ready to be picked up and included in AI-generated responses.

And that's exactly where PR shines.
