If you've been seeing the phrase "good GEO is good SEO" everywhere on LinkedIn lately, you're not imagining it. It's become the comfort take of the moment — and this week, it got a very official co-sign. Brendon Kraham, Google's VP of Search and Commerce, published a piece on Think with Google making exactly that argument.Â
So here we are.
This episode is a rant. A structured, well-reasoned rant — but a rant. Because the "good GEO is good SEO" framing isn't just lazy. It's actively giving brands permission to stop learning at exactly the wrong moment.
In this episode:
Why the "good GEO is good SEO" take is part true and mostly incomplete — and why that distinction actually matters for your brand
The four ways GEO goes beyond SEO that no amount of foundational optimization covers: content extractability, entity authority, freshness for AI retrieval, and cross-platform presence
Why entity SEO and entity authority are not the same thing — and conflating them will leave you invisible outside your own domain
What Google's Think with Google article gets right, what it gets wrong, and why its advice is largely limited to Google Search specifically
Why brands that use this take as permission to stop paying attention are the ones that will be invisible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini while their competitors get cited
The one question to ask yourself before you hit publish that tells you whether your content is actually extractable
If you're listening to this and thinking I need someone to lead this for me, that's what I do.
