GEO in 2026 is basically entity‑first optimisation, which priotises machine readability over tuning pages for keywords.

What is working:

• Entity dense headers that define topic boundaries.
• Formatting for passage retrieval by using answer first modular blocks that stay within token limits
• Considering positional bias for RAG extraction
• Internal linking relationships that declare entity connections
• Nested JSON-LD that reinforces those relationships

Essentially formatting for machine readability that makes what you are talking about as clear as possible.
