· By Thibaut Campana
The GEO-360™ Framework is a 4-pillar method developed by Thibaut Campana to optimize a website simultaneously for Google and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview, Copilot). It relies on 16 verifiable controls covering structured data, Direct Answer content, AI bot accessibility and E-E-A-T signals. 3 clients reached Google Top 3 AND are cited by name by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.
The 4 pillars of the GEO-360™ Framework
Pillar 1 — Schema.org & structured data
18+ Schema.org types installed (Organization, ProfessionalService, Article, FAQPage, HowTo, Review, BreadcrumbList, Person, WebPage…). Every page sends a precise machine-readable signal about the entity, the author, the services and social proof.
- Organization + Person sitewide
- FAQPage on every service page
- Article + Author on every guide
- Review + AggregateRating on case studies
Pillar 2 — Direct Answer content
Every page opens with a direct answer of max 50 words, structured to be extracted as-is by an LLM. Paragraphs < 60 words, comparison tables, sourced statistics, FAQ of at least 5 questions per page.
- Direct Answer in 0-50 words
- FAQ minimum 5 questions/page
- Paragraphs ≤ 60 words

FAQ — GEO-360™ Framework
What is the GEO-360™ Framework?▾
The GEO-360™ Framework is a proprietary 4-pillar method (Schema.org, Direct Answer, AI bot accessibility, E-E-A-T) developed by Thibaut Campana, AI SEO consultant in France. It optimizes a site simultaneously for Google and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overview).
Why 360?▾
360 because the method covers all AI search engines in a single pass: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Copilot, Gemini. No isolated per-engine optimization — one coherent framework that addresses every signal LLMs use to cite a source.
How long until results?▾
First AI citations typically appear 30 to 60 days after full implementation of the 4 pillars. Google ranking follows a longer cycle (3-6 months). The 3 documented clients reached Google Top 3 + AI citations in 4-8 months depending on competition.
Does the GEO-360™ Framework replace classic SEO?▾
No, it extends it. SEO fundamentals (speed, mobile, backlinks, quality content) remain essential. The GEO-360™ Framework adds a layer of machine-readable signals and content structure that make the site readable by LLMs in addition to Google.
Can I apply the GEO-360™ Framework myself?▾
Yes, partially. The free GEO Audit tool gives the diagnostic and a prioritized action plan. Full implementation of the 4 pillars requires technical skills (Schema.org, JSON-LD, robots.txt, Next.js or equivalent). For full-service implementation, see the Services page.
Is the GEO-360™ Framework trademarked?▾
GEO-360™ is a trademark used by Thibaut Campana to designate this proprietary method. The method is publicly documented and may be cited as such; implementation services are provided exclusively by Thibaut Campana.
