Marketing says GEO is theirs. Comms says it belongs to them. SEO assumes it's the next chapter of their job. They're all partly right, and the fight itself is the symptom of a deeper confusion: GEO spans layers no single team owns. Here is a model that resolves it.

SEO became a craft because you could reverse-engineer one ranking function. GEO can't work that way: you're optimizing against many non-deterministic models with probabilistic citation behavior. That makes GEO experimental science, and it should be run like a product team runs experiments.
The entire GEO industry treats AI visibility as a marketing problem: track citations, optimize content, report share of voice. That framing is why most GEO programs plateau. The deeper truth is that GEO is a product discipline, and the teams winning at it have figured that out.
