GEO for restaurants: why ChatGPT and Perplexity mention your competitors first

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the cousin of SEO: instead of ranking blue links, you’re fighting for mentions inside answers when someone asks “best chilli crab near me” or “quiet date-night restaurant Tanjong Pagar.”

What models actually look at

• Entity clarity — consistent name, address, and cuisine across site and listings.
• Fresh social proof — recent posts, reviews, and media that match your positioning.
• Structured context — schema, clear headings, FAQs that match how people ask questions.
