Zero-click search

What is a Zero-Click Search?

A zero-click search is a query where the person gets the answer from the AI result or the search page and does not open a link. GeoHTML writes that answer as the first paragraph, so the brand can be the source the engine cites.

How a citation replaces the click

The reader may never land on the site. The value that remains is the citation: the engine names the page that supplied the fact. A heading that asks the question, followed by a paragraph that answers it, is the passage those systems lift.

Generative engine optimization is how GeoHTML formats a page for that citation. An atomic answer is the paragraph an engine can quote on its own.
