While most agencies are still figuring out what GEO means, Nimbletoad built a full generative engine optimization strategy into EMDR Institute's marketing program. The results demonstrate why this matters.
When a therapist asks ChatGPT "Where can I get certified in EMDR?" EMDR Institute's content is cited as the authoritative source. Over 350,000 times in a single quarter.
These numbers will only grow. AI-powered search is accelerating, and the organizations that establish authority now will be the ones AI systems continue to recommend. Nimbletoad was doing the work GEO is named after long before the term existed.
