Generative engine optimization (GEO) services

When someone asks ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews or Perplexity who to hire, the answer names a few businesses and skips the rest. GEO is the work of making sure AI tools can find you, understand what you do and trust you enough to mention you.

Free health check includes an AI search readiness check.

What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization, in one paragraph

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of making a business easy for AI tools to find, understand and recommend. Tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot write an answer instead of showing a list of links. To write it, they pull from websites they can read, structured data they can trust and what other sites say about a business. GEO improves each of those, so your business is more likely to be the one they name.

You'll also hear it called AI SEO, AI search optimization or answer engine optimization (AEO). They all describe the same job.

Why it matters

More customers ask AI first. If the answer they get doesn't include you, you never find out the lead existed. There's no ranking to check and no second page to scroll to.

What we do

What GEO work actually involves

No tricks and no secret prompts. Just the things AI tools check before they mention a business, done properly.

  • 01

    AI visibility check

    We ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your customers ask, and record who gets named. You see where you stand next to competitors.

  • 02

    Answer-ready pages

    Service pages and FAQs rewritten so each key question gets a short, direct answer an AI tool can lift and quote, without making the page worse for people.

  • 03

    Structured data

    Schema markup for your business, services, FAQs and articles, so machines read the facts the way you meant them.

  • 04

    Consistent business details

    Name, services, location, hours and contact details lined up across your site, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles.

  • 05

    Crawler access

    Robots.txt, llms.txt, page speed and rendering checked, so AI crawlers can actually reach and read your content.

  • 06

    Mentions and reviews

    Reviews, directory listings and mentions on trusted local and industry sites: the outside sources AI tools check before they mention a business.

GEO vs SEO

How GEO and SEO fit together

Same foundations, different finish line. One gets you ranked, the other gets you mentioned.

The short version: GEO isn't a replacement for SEO. It's SEO done with AI answers in mind, which is why we run them together.

Tracking

How you'll know it's working

AI answers aren't a ranking you can look up, so we check them by hand. Every month we ask the same list of customer questions and record what comes back.

  • Where you're mentioned or linked
  • Which competitors get named instead
  • Visits that arrive from AI tools
  • Leads from those visits
  • What we're fixing next

Straight talk

What we won't promise

There's a lot of noise around AI search right now. Here's where we draw the line.

  1. No guaranteed mentions

    Nobody controls what ChatGPT or Google's AI says. Anyone who promises a spot is guessing.

  2. No prompt tricks

    Hidden text and keyword stuffing aimed at AI tools tend to backfire. We stick to work that holds up.

  3. No separate silo

    GEO runs inside your SEO plan, on the same site and the same monthly report, not as a pricey add-on.

  4. No locking you in

    Three-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' written notice. Your accounts and data stay yours.

Ask us a question

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?

GEO is the work of making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot to find, understand and mention when someone asks a question you can answer. It covers how your pages are written and structured, the structured data behind them, whether AI crawlers can reach your site, and what other websites say about you.

What's the difference between GEO and SEO?

SEO aims to rank your pages in a list of search results. GEO aims to get your business included in the answer an AI tool writes. They share the same foundations, such as a fast, readable site, useful content and a strong reputation, but GEO puts more weight on clear, quotable answers, consistent business details and mentions on other sites.

Do I still need SEO if I do GEO?

Yes. AI tools lean heavily on the same signals search engines use, and Google's AI Overviews are built on top of Google Search. If you don't show up in ordinary search, you're unlikely to show up in AI answers. That's why GEO is part of our SEO plans rather than a replacement for them.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change from one question to the next and from one week to the next, and no one controls them. What we can do is fix the things these tools rely on, check the questions your customers ask every month, and show you plainly where you're mentioned and where you're not.

How long does GEO take to work?

Technical fixes like crawler access and structured data can be picked up within weeks. Content and reputation work usually takes a few months to show, much like SEO. AI tools refresh what they know at different speeds, so progress tends to arrive in steps rather than a smooth line.

How do you measure GEO results?

Each month we ask the AI tools a set list of questions your customers would ask and record whether you're mentioned, linked or left out, alongside competitors. We also track visits that arrive from AI tools in Google Analytics, and the leads they bring in.

Should I block AI crawlers from my website?

For most businesses that want customers, no. If AI tools can't read your site, they can't describe or recommend you accurately. We'll check your robots.txt and settings, and help you decide which crawlers to allow.

Is GEO included in your SEO plans?

Yes. AI search visibility is part of every monthly SEO plan, and the free website health check includes an AI search readiness check, so you can see where you stand before you commit to anything.
