In one sentence
Claude is a conversational AI service developed and provided by the U.S. company Anthropic. It is strong in safety and long-context handling, with growing use in B2B and specialist domains.
What does it look like in practice?
Typical cases where Claude is preferred over ChatGPT:
- Summarization and analysis of long reports (its large context window is a hallmark)
- Research in specialist domains (legal, medical, IT, consulting)
- Code generation / review (popular with engineers)
- Formal research tooling inside enterprises (strict safety policies)
The goal of GEO measures is for your company to be cited when a Claude user in one of these domains asks "tell me about XX."
Why is it important?
- Claude's share is rising fast in B2B / specialist domains: especially IT, consulting, legal
- Used by enterprise researchers: directly influences the judgment of purchase decision-makers
- Needs to be observed separately from OpenAI: even for identical queries, Claude and ChatGPT differ in citation behavior (Jaccard around 0.064)
