What is AIGEO?

A short explanation of a term you will meet if you work with Chinese suppliers or agencies.

- AIGEO is a term used mainly in China's marketing industry for generative engine optimization (GEO).
- It means the same as GEO, AEO and LLM SEO: getting AI answer engines to find, verify and cite you.
- The "AI" prefix avoids confusion with GEO as in geography or geolocation.
- For beauty suppliers, AIGEO usually covers both Western AI engines (for export buyers) and Chinese ones (for domestic brands).

## Where the term comes from

"Generative engine optimization" was named in a 2024 research paper (Aggarwal et al., KDD 2024). In China the practice spread quickly among export-marketing agencies, where it is often written AIGEO or "AI GEO" — partly to separate it from GEO in the sense of geography and geolocation, which is also a common search term.

## AIGEO, GEO, AEO and LLM SEO
Term | Common in | Meaning | 
GEO | Research, Western agencies | Optimising to be found and cited by generative AI engines | 
AIGEO | Chinese agencies and suppliers | Same as GEO | 
AEO | SEO industry | Answer engine optimisation — same goal, older term | 
LLM SEO | Informal | Same practice, named after large language models | 

## What AIGEO means for a beauty supplier

For a cosmetics factory, packaging maker or ingredient supplier, AIGEO usually has two halves:

- Export: being named by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Grok when international brands source suppliers.

- Domestic: being named by Doubao, DeepSeek, Tencent Yuanbao, Kimi, ERNIE Bot and Qwen when brands in China look for manufacturers.

The foundations are the same — unambiguous company facts, pages that answer buyer questions, verifiable evidence and third-party confirmation — but the places each engine looks differ. See our guide to the six Western engines.
