Top GEO Experts to Follow in 2026

This episode breaks down the best GEO experts to follow in 2026 because generative engine optimisation is fast becoming a critical skill for SEOs and brand builders. James Dooley and Kasra Dash define GEO as the art of ranking in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity because search traffic is rapidly shifting into LLM driven answers. They then run through a curated list of practitioners who actually move the needle in AI overviews, not just talk about it.

Koray Tuğberk Gübür, Simon Słowik and Harry Anagnostopoulos feature for their work on semantic triples, topical maps and micro semantics because their frameworks shape how LLMs interpret entities and attributes. Matt Diggity, Craig Campbell, Kyle Roof and Trion Vukoski are included because relentless testing in brutal niches proves what really works in competitive SERPs and GEO. Brand led operators like Sam Allcock, Scott Keever, Gareth Hoyle, Karl Hudson and Georgi Todorov are highlighted because PR, link earning and listicles are now key levers for winning AI summaries. Local and technical specialists such as Mark Sutherland, Dean Signori, Leo Soulas, Sergii Lukianchuk, Christian Marr Øhlers, Russell Lobo, David Johnson and Viktoria Altman round out the list because GEO success depends on clean architecture, topical authority and strong entity positioning.

Listeners come away with a practical who to follow roadmap for GEO in 2026 because the episode connects each expert to specific tactics, from digital PR and parasites to semantic content networks and listicle engineering that consistently win AI powered visibility.
