5 Als, 5 Personalities: What a 30-Day GEOExperiment Revealed
in march 2026, A French GEO competition (get cited by 5 Als on an invented word, 30 days) ended with the participant taking 2nd and 3rd place using 4 sites, each running a different strategy (authority, broad coverage, data-driven content, canonical brand page). Key finding: each Al has a distinct, stable "citation personality" — there's no universal GEO tactic, only per-engine strategies (e.g., HTML injection worked on ChatGPT, a "lab pattern" worked on Claude/Mistral). Biggest discovery: a single English page on a French site got 94 citations in 10 days from Claude and Mistral alone — if this replicates on a B2B test, it could become a simple, high-leverage GEO technique.
the participant was Frédéric Jézégou
