A GEO-First Framework: Integrating Search Visibility, Sentiment, and Digital Authority for Organic Growth in the AI Era
Uri Samet. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 29(1), 2031–2040, 2026
In short…
Generative search has moved discovery from retrieve-and-rank to retrieve-and-synthesize. The paper proposes a GEO-First framework that makes generative engine optimization the lead strategy, joining search visibility, online reputation and digital authority into one discipline.
From a structured review of 2024 to 2026 studies, it sets out two operating pillars, Discovery and Sentiment, built on a base of Digital Authority. Being included in an AI engine’s retrieval set can drive later branded searches, but only when the mention carries positive sentiment.
The practical conclusion: measure influence, not clicks.
