Quick answer
No. GEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. AI search tools still depend on being able to find, crawl and trust your content, and many of them draw on traditional search results. A contractor with a weak, unindexed website will struggle in AI answers too. Strong SEO fundamentals are the foundation GEO sits on.
The full answer
The fundamentals are the same: crawlable pages, specific services, real proof, consistent business information and reputation. GEO adds emphasis on being quotable and clearly identified as an entity.
Treat AI visibility as another reason to do SEO properly, not a reason to abandon it.
