Generative Marketing Mix Modeling: A Causal Inference Framework Linking GEO and GEM to Business Impact

Masahiro Kato, Daiki Honma, Taka Kato1 min readarXivSep 10, 2026

Key Takeaway for Students

Generative artificial intelligence changes how firms reach customers, but standard marketing data do not record how often users see and notice a firm's name in generated answers. We develop Generative Marketing Mix Modeling (GMMM) to estimate the causal effects of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Generative Engine Marketing (GEM). For GEO, GMMM combines repeated generat

This paper introduces a novel framework, GMMM, to measure the causal impact of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Generative Engine Marketing (GEM), which are emerging areas in the generative AI landscape. Understanding and quantifying the business impact of AI-driven marketing strategies is crucial for ML engineers involved in deploying and optimizing AI solutions for commercial use cases.
