Introduction
Transitioning from a learner who understands the theory of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) to a practitioner who delivers value for clients requires a paradigm shift. In the learning phase, you study how Large Language Models (LLMs) work; in the practitioner phase, you operationalise that knowledge to influence how models perceive and cite your clients' brands. This lesson bridges the gap between 'knowing' and 'doing', providing a blueprint for professional AI Visibility engagements.
