NAVER & GEO
What is NAVER blog marketing?
NAVER is South Korea's leading search portal and the platform most Koreans use to research products and services. NAVER blog marketing means creating and managing optimised blog content on NAVER so that Korean consumers discover your brand through organic search.
Why isn't Google enough to reach Korean customers?
Many Koreans start their research on NAVER, where blogs, cafés and Q&A content dominate results. A brand that only invests in Google can be largely invisible to Korean families and travellers.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of optimising a brand's online presence so it is mentioned and recommended in answers generated by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
What is your SEO · AEO · GEO framework?
We split effort across three layers: SEO (30%) to rank in search results, AEO — Answer Engine Optimization (30%) to win direct answers and featured snippets, and GEO (40%) to be recommended by AI assistants. The weighting is adjusted for each client.
