AI SEO: be the brand AI recommends.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting your brand cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, and AI Overviews instead of only ranking as a blue link. It pairs entity building, answer-first content, original research, and multi-source citations so AI engines trust and recommend you.

Why now

Search is moving into the answer.

AI assistants now resolve a large share of research queries without a single click, and Gartner projects roughly a 25% decline in traditional search volume by 2026. Buyers ask for a recommendation, and the engine names a short list. GEO decides whether you’re on it.

How we do it

We build the brand the engines trust.

Entity

Build the entity

AI engines answer from entities, not pages. We build and align your presence across Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and review platforms so engines know who you are and what you’re known for.

Answer

Answer-first content

Every page leads with a 50-100 word direct answer to a real question, the exact format LLMs lift and cite. We structure your content the way the engines read it.

Research

Original research & statistics

AI engines cite original data disproportionately. We publish proprietary benchmark reports that become the source other people quote, and that engines pull from.

Seeding

Multi-source seeding

Reddit, earned PR, comparison listicles, and high-authority publications, the places each engine trusts most. We diversify so no single source can sink your visibility.

Compare

“Best [X]” comparison content

A huge share of buying queries are comparisons. We earn inclusion in the “best agency / best tool” lists that AI assistants summarize when buyers ask for a recommendation.

Schema

Technical & schema hygiene

Static, fast, crawlable pages with clean structured data and an explicit AI-crawler policy, so retrieval bots can actually read and trust your site.

GEO vs SEO

Citations, not just rankings.

SEO

Optimizes a page

Wins a position in a list of links. Measured by rankings and clicks.

GEO

Optimizes your entity

Wins a mention inside the synthesized answer. Measured by AI-citation share.

Together

Compounding visibility

Strong SEO feeds the entity; a strong entity wins citations. We run both as one program.

Coverage

Five engines, one program.

Questions

GEO, answered.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting your brand cited inside AI-generated answers, in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, and AI Overviews, instead of only ranking as a blue link. It combines entity building, answer-first content, original research, and multi-source citations so AI engines trust and recommend you.
How is GEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes a page to rank in a list of links. GEO optimizes your whole entity to be cited inside a synthesized answer. SEO is measured by rankings and clicks; GEO is measured by AI-citation share, how often, and how favorably, AI engines reference your brand when someone asks a relevant question.
Why does GEO matter now?
AI search has already absorbed a large share of informational queries, and Gartner projects roughly a 25% decline in traditional search volume by 2026. Buyers increasingly ask an assistant for a recommendation instead of scrolling results. If AI engines don’t know or trust your brand, you’re invisible at the exact moment of decision.
Does adding schema markup get me cited by AI?
Not on its own. Controlled studies in 2026 found schema has little direct effect on AI citations. We implement schema for rich results and entity hygiene, but the real levers are answer-first content, a strong brand entity, and citations across the sources each engine trusts.
How do you measure GEO results?
We track AI-citation share across five engines (how often your brand appears in answers to your priority buyer questions) plus brand-entity presence and qualified leads. The metric is citations and influence in AI answers, not raw organic clicks.
Who needs GEO?
Any company whose buyers research with AI assistants, especially software, apps, and B2B services in competitive categories. If prospects ask ChatGPT or Perplexity “what’s the best tool/agency/option for X,” GEO determines whether you’re in the answer.
