- Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
developers need better infrastructure to understand:
- How search engines discover websites
- Whether websites are technically optimized
- How content can be better understood by machines
IndexFlow provides lightweight, developer-friendly Rust libraries and tools for building better search visibility.
