What Reranking means in GEO
In a RAG pipeline, publishing is not enough. A page must be discoverable, enter the candidate set and survive reranking.
Why it matters
Align each passage with a specific intent and avoid mixing incompatible answers in the same block.
What to check in practice
Identify the stage where the source disappears: access, initial retrieval, reranking, generator context or citation selection.
How it connects to other concepts
Reranking belongs to retrieval and rag. It is best analyzed alongside related terms because AI visibility depends on several stages and signals rather than one isolated optimization.
Common mistake
Blaming final copy when the document never reached the model that writes the answer.
