Evidence, with context
Research notes
Read original research and platform guidance with methods, scope, and limitations in view.
What the original GEO study can—and cannot—tell you
Read an experimental framework as research, not a guaranteed recipe for current products.
Evidence: Published experimental research, interpreted by GEO Primer. This note is not a replication, independent benchmark, or platform documentation.
Read Google’s AI guidance without inventing requirements
Distinguish documented eligibility from editorial recommendations and guaranteed inclusion.
Evidence: Platform documentation, interpreted by GEO Primer. This is not an independent experiment or an account of other providers’ requirements.
Citation telemetry is not a ranking or revenue report
Understand the boundaries of aggregated platform data before combining it with manual observations.
Evidence: Platform announcement and metric definitions, interpreted by GEO Primer. No independent customer dataset or measured performance claim is presented here.
