AI SEO & GEO in Bangladesh: How to Get Cited by ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews

Search stopped being ten blue links

Right now a buyer in Dhaka is asking ChatGPT to recommend a service exactly like yours. You will never see that conversation in Google Analytics, and if your site is not structured for AI extraction, your competitor gets named instead of you.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of preparing your content, entity signals and markup so AI systems can confidently quote you.

1. Fix your entity before your keywords

AI systems answer with entities, not strings. Make sure the following are identical everywhere: legal/brand name, service description, address, phone, founder name and social profiles. Add `Organization` and `Person` JSON-LD on your site, and keep LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and Google Business Profile consistent. Inconsistent signals are the single most common reason a Bangladeshi brand has no Knowledge Panel.

2. Write answers, then write the article

Every important page should open with a 40-60 word direct answer to the query, followed by supporting depth. AI models extract short, self-contained, factual passages. Long introductions get skipped.

• One question per H2, phrased the way people ask it
• Short paragraphs, bullet lists and comparison tables
• Numbers, dates, prices and named sources instead of vague claims

3. Add machine-readable structure

Use `FAQPage` for real questions, `Service` for each offer, `Course` for training, `BreadcrumbList` for hierarchy and `Article` with a named author. Structured data is how you tell an AI crawler what the passage means, not just what it says.

4. Build citations, not just backlinks

AI answers lean on sources that other sources already trust: industry publications, listings, YouTube transcripts, Reddit and Quora threads, and local directories. A mention with your brand name in plain text can influence an AI answer even without a link.

5. Measure AI visibility

Check monthly: ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini your top ten commercial queries and record whether you are named. In Search Console, watch the Generative AI features report and impressions on question-shaped queries. Falling CTR with stable impressions is usually AI Overviews absorbing the click.

What to do this week

1. Publish `Organization` + `Person` schema and align every profile.
2. Rewrite the top of your five best pages as a direct answer.
3. Add an FAQ block with real customer questions and mark it up.
4. Log your current AI citation baseline so you can prove progress.
