GEO Reference · Bilingual

The GEO glossary. EN / ID.

Every term you need to talk about Generative Engine Optimization clearly — defined in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Built for marketers, founders, and writers who want to stop hand-waving and start measuring.

TL;DR
  • Bilingual glossary covering 24 GEO terms — engines, schemas, entities, measurement.
  • Every term defined in English and Bahasa Indonesia.
  • Marked up with DefinedTermSet JSON-LD so AI engines can extract definitions verbatim.
  • Updated as the GEO field evolves — last revision 2026-05-15.

How to use this glossary

Each entry has the term, an English definition, and the Bahasa Indonesia equivalent. Where the field uses an established acronym (GEO, AEO, RAG), we list it. Where a term is well-defined by an external standard (schema.org, Wikidata), we follow that standard rather than inventing a new one.

This page is also marked up as a DefinedTermSet in JSON-LD so AI engines can extract the full set programmatically, not just the words on the page.

Terms — A to Z

AI Overview
ENGoogle's AI-generated summary that appears above traditional search results for many queries. Being cited inside an AI Overview is one of the most valuable visibility surfaces in 2026.
IDRingkasan jawaban yang dihasilkan AI Google dan muncul di atas hasil pencarian tradisional untuk banyak query. Dikutip di dalam AI Overview adalah salah satu surface visibility paling bernilai di 2026.
Answer Engine OptimizationAEO

ENA 0–100 estimate of a domain's overall trust and ranking strength, popularized by Semrush. AI engines rely on similar trust signals when deciding whose content to cite.
IDEstimasi 0–100 atas trust dan kekuatan ranking sebuah domain, dipopulerkan Semrush. Mesin AI mengandalkan sinyal trust yang serupa saat memutuskan konten siapa yang akan dikutip.
Brand Mention
ENAn unlinked reference to a brand on third-party content. AI engines weight unlinked mentions almost as heavily as linked citations when assessing entity prominence.
IDSebutan brand yang tidak nge-link di konten pihak ketiga. Mesin AI memberi bobot pada sebutan tanpa link hampir seberat citation berlink saat menilai entity prominence.

FAQ Schema
ENJSON-LD markup that exposes a page's question/answer pairs in a format AI engines can extract verbatim. One of the highest-leverage GEO interventions.
IDMarkup JSON-LD yang membuat pasangan tanya/jawab di sebuah halaman bisa diekstrak verbatim oleh mesin AI. Salah satu intervensi GEO dengan leverage tertinggi.
Generative Engine OptimizationGEO
ENThe practice of optimizing a brand's content, entity footprint, and citations so that AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Bing Copilot, and Google AI Overview cite, summarize, or recommend it inside generated answers.
IDPraktik mengoptimasi konten, entity footprint, dan citation sebuah brand agar mesin AI seperti ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Bing Copilot, dan Google AI Overview mengutip atau merekomendasikan brand tersebut di dalam jawaban yang dihasilkan.
Google-Extended
ENGoogle's separate user-agent token that controls whether Gemini and the Vertex AI API can train on a site's content. Distinct from the regular Googlebot used for search.
IDUser-agent token terpisah dari Google yang mengontrol apakah Gemini dan Vertex AI API boleh ditraining di konten situs. Berbeda dari Googlebot biasa yang digunakan untuk search.
GPTBot
ENOpenAI's web crawler that gathers content for ChatGPT and ChatGPT Search. Allowed (not blocked) in robots.txt for any brand pursuing GEO.
IDCrawler web milik OpenAI yang mengumpulkan konten untuk ChatGPT dan ChatGPT Search. Harus di-allow (bukan di-block) di robots.txt untuk brand yang serius mengejar GEO.
HowTo Schema
ENJSON-LD markup that labels a page as a step-by-step guide. AI engines often quote HowTo content when users ask procedural questions.
IDMarkup JSON-LD yang melabeli halaman sebagai panduan langkah-demi-langkah. Mesin AI sering mengutip konten HowTo saat pengguna bertanya secara prosedural.
Indonesian-IP Tracking
ENRunning GEO prompts from Indonesian IP addresses (and in Bahasa Indonesia where relevant) so the citation data reflects what local users actually see — AI engine outputs are personalized by geography.
IDMenjalankan prompt GEO dari alamat IP Indonesia (dan dalam Bahasa Indonesia jika relevan) sehingga data citation mencerminkan yang dilihat user lokal — output mesin AI dipersonalisasi berdasarkan geografi.
Knowledge Panel
ENGoogle's right-side info card for a recognized entity. Strong Knowledge Panels improve how AI engines describe the brand because they read from the same underlying graph.
IDKartu info di sisi kanan hasil Google untuk entity yang dikenali. Knowledge Panel yang kuat memperbaiki cara mesin AI mendeskripsikan brand karena keduanya membaca dari graph yang sama.
llms.txt
ENA proposed text file at a site's root that gives AI engines a curated, structured map of the most important content — analogous to robots.txt for crawlers, but written for language models.
IDFile teks (proposal) di root situs yang memberi mesin AI peta konten penting yang terkurasi dan terstruktur — analog dengan robots.txt untuk crawler, tapi ditulis untuk language model.
Multi-Engine Tracking
ENGEO measurement that runs the same prompt set against several AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Bing Copilot, Google AI Overview) and compares citation share over time.
IDPengukuran GEO yang menjalankan prompt set yang sama terhadap beberapa mesin AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Bing Copilot, Google AI Overview) dan membandingkan citation share dari waktu ke waktu.

IDCrawler milik Perplexity AI. Sama seperti GPTBot, harus di-allow di robots.txt dan didukung oleh konten yang terstruktur dan ramah citation.
Prompt
ENA user query sent to an AI engine. In GEO measurement, a curated prompt set defines which questions a brand wants to be cited inside.
IDQuery pengguna yang dikirim ke mesin AI. Dalam pengukuran GEO, sebuah prompt set yang dikurasi menentukan pertanyaan mana yang ingin dijawab dengan mengutip brand.
Prompt Set

IDArsitektur AI di mana model mengambil dokumen relevan dari sebuah index sebelum menghasilkan jawaban. Sebagian besar mesin AI modern (Perplexity, Bing Copilot, AI Overview) menggunakan RAG, sehingga citation eligibility — bukan sekadar ranking — yang menentukan keberhasilan GEO.
Schema.org
ENThe shared vocabulary used by Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Yandex for structured data. Most GEO-relevant schemas are FAQPage, Article, HowTo, Organization, LocalBusiness, and BreadcrumbList.
IDVocabulary bersama yang digunakan Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, dan Yandex untuk structured data. Schema yang paling relevan untuk GEO adalah FAQPage, Article, HowTo, Organization, LocalBusiness, dan BreadcrumbList.

IDMarkup yang machine-readable (biasanya schema.org JSON-LD) yang melabeli isi halaman — Article, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Product, Person — sehingga mesin dapat mengekstraknya dengan andal.
Wikidata
ENWikipedia's structured-data backbone. Many AI engines read Wikidata directly to ground entity facts, making a complete Wikidata item one of the highest-leverage GEO assets.
IDTulang punggung structured-data milik Wikipedia. Banyak mesin AI membaca Wikidata langsung untuk meng-ground fakta entity, menjadikan Wikidata item yang lengkap salah satu aset GEO paling berleverage.
Frequently Asked

Quick answers.

Why a bilingual GEO glossary?
Indonesian search behavior is bilingual. People mix English technical terms with Bahasa Indonesia explanations in the same query. A glossary that gives AI engines both languages for the same concept makes it far easier for them to surface accurate definitions when Indonesian users ask.
Are these definitions standard?
Where industry consensus exists (schema.org terms, well-known engine names, established acronyms like RAG and AEO), we use the standard definition. Where the field is still settling — for example exactly how to scope a 'prompt set' or measure 'citation share' — we describe the working definition we use in production at Epilog.
How often is this glossary updated?
We revise it whenever a meaningful change happens in the field — new engine, new bot user-agent, new schema type with GEO relevance, or material change in how an existing engine sources citations. The last-modified date in the page metadata reflects the most recent change.
