GEO / AI Search Optimization

Win the answers that shape buying decisions.

Generative Engine Optimization that gets your brand mentioned, cited and recommended in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot — measured all the way to pipeline.

GEO / AI Search — in short
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the work of making your brand the source AI engines choose when they answer a buyer’s question. Our GEO service maps the prompts your buyers actually use, measures how often each engine mentions and cites you versus competitors, fixes the technical and entity signals that keep you out of answers, builds source-worthy content and third-party citations, and tracks AI referral traffic into your CRM.

FAQ

GEO / AI Search: common questions

What does a GEO agency actually do?

A GEO agency increases how often AI engines mention, recommend and cite your brand. In practice that means four workstreams: measurement (prompt sets and share-of-voice tracking), technical access (crawlers, rendering, structured data), content and entity engineering (pages and facts engines can confidently quote) and off-site authority (the third-party sources engines rely on). Good agencies tie all of it to traffic, leads and pipeline.

Which AI engines do you optimize for?

ChatGPT (including ChatGPT search), Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. Prompt sets are weighted toward the engines your buyers actually use, which we validate with referral data.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. Most AI engines ground their answers in web search results and crawled pages, so strong technical SEO, authority and helpful content are prerequisites. GEO adds new research inputs (prompts, not just keywords), new formats (answer-ready content), new off-site priorities (citation sources) and new measurement.

Do we need an llms.txt file?

It is a useful, low-cost convention for giving language models a clean map of your site, and we implement it. But it is a proposal, not a standard, and it will not compensate for blocked crawlers or thin content. We prioritize the fundamentals first.

Should we allow AI crawlers?

For visibility, the important ones are the search and retrieval crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, Googlebot and Bingbot. Training crawlers like GPTBot or Google-Extended are a separate business decision — you can block training while still allowing search. We map the trade-offs with you, including CDN-level bot rules that silently block crawlers.

How do you report GEO results?

A monthly AI visibility report shows share of voice, mention position, citation rate and cited URLs by engine and topic versus competitors, plus AI referral sessions, leads, SQLs and pipeline from your CRM. You also get the raw prompt-level data.
