What we do

GEO prepares your brand to appear in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and other generative discovery surfaces through entity building and authoritative content.

In detail

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) makes your brand discoverable inside AI-generated answers — not just traditional search results.

Who it’s for

Forward-thinking brands investing early in AI-era visibility before the channel becomes saturated.

How It Fits Together — GEO.

The answer you want AI to give

We aim to make your brand the named, cited answer when buyers ask AI tools about your market.

Illustrative example, not client data.

AI engines — Pick One.

Each engine reads the web differently

The same brand can be cited in one assistant and missing from another. Choose an engine to see what it leans on.

ChatGPT

Trained knowledge plus live web search

Answers draw on what the model learned and, when browsing, on pages it retrieves and trusts at that moment.

  • Clear brand facts repeated across sources
  • Pages that load fast and answer directly
  • Mentions on widely referenced sites

Included — One Team.

What is included

A bar chart under a magnifying glass beside a target
  • 01

    AI visibility audit

    We run the prompts your buyers would use across the main AI engines and record whether you appear, how you are described and who is cited instead.

  • 02

    Entity definition

    We make it unambiguous who you are, what you do and who you serve, on your site and on the profiles AI systems cross-check.

  • 03

    Citable content

    Pages are rewritten into clear, factual, self-contained statements with definitions, data and named authors that a model can lift.

  • 04

    Structured data

    Organization, product, FAQ and author schema make your facts machine-readable.

  • And the work around it

    • Third-party mentions
    • Prompt tracking
    • Entity signals: entity.json, llms.txt, and structured FAQ data AI systems can trust
    • Citation-ready content: direct answers, facts, and disambiguation blocks models can quote
    • AI crawler access: explicit allow rules for GPTBot, Claude, Perplexity, Google-Extended, and more

Process — Step By Step.

How the work runs

Five steps, each with an output you can review. Timings are typical and depend on scope.
