This paper presents a case study of how the Parkinson’s Foundation conceptualised and implemented generative engine optimisation (GEO). GEO, also referred to as large language model engine optimisation or artificial intelligence (AI) engine optimisation, is an emerging practice that remains underexplored in both academic and practitioner contexts. The paper provides actionable guidance for practitioners seeking to optimise content for AI-powered tools, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and other generative search systems. It describes six GEO best practices, the Parkinson’s Foundation’s implementation framework, and practical steps that any organisation can adopt to improve visibility in AI-generated answers.
