the next layer of search optimization
AI is answering your customers' questions. Your brand should be the answer it gives.
GEO builds the brand authority, content, and citation network that gets you cited by AI. We put you inside answers on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Before your competitor gets there first.
You rank on page one of Google. You are completely invisible to AI. Both are happening right now.
AI search is not replacing Google overnight. It is quietly pulling high-intent queries into generated answers. Your brand does not appear in those answers. That slice grows every month.
While you read this page, AI is answering thousands of questions in your category. Your brand is not in most of those answers.
GEO needs a different approach from traditional SEO. We built five systems to get you cited.
Traditional SEO matches keywords to pages for Google. GEO makes AI engines recognize your brand as a trusted answer. Click each system to see what we build and why it lifts your citation rate.
AI engines learn about entities (brands, products, people) from structured and unstructured web data. If your brand is ambiguous, inconsistently described, or absent from authoritative sources, AI treats it as unknown. We build a structured entity presence across the sources AI engines trust most.
- Wikipedia and Wikidata entity creation and optimization
- Consistent brand entity description across 200+ web properties
- Knowledge panel optimization and claim verification
AI systems cite content they can confidently understand and attribute. Content written purely for Google's keyword algorithm often confuses AI extractors. We rewrite key pages to answer specific questions directly, in the format AI engines trust: concise, attributed, factual, and unique.
- Conversational query answer blocks on key pages
- Structured data markup for AI extraction (FAQ, HowTo, Product)
- Author and source attribution that AI engines recognize
AI engines cite brands that other trusted sources cite. A brand mentioned positively across industry publications, review platforms, and expert databases gets cited far more frequently than a brand with strong keyword rankings but limited external validation. We build that reference network systematically.
- Placements in AI-crawled industry publications
- Expert review and ranking site optimization
- Forum and community answer presence (Reddit, Quora, Hacker News)
People ask AI in full natural language sentences, not keyword strings. "What's the best wireless headphone for running in hot weather with budget under $150?" is a very different query than "wireless headphones running." Generative engine optimization maps your content to the conversational queries your customers actually use with AI.
- Conversational query research across AI search data
- Long-form question-and-answer content mapped to buying intent
- Comparison and recommendation page architecture for AI extraction
Most brands have no idea how often their brand appears in AI responses. We build monitoring infrastructure that tracks citation frequency across Perplexity, ChatGPT browsing, Gemini, and Claude on a weekly basis. Your dashboard shows citation rate trends and compares you to the top three competitors in your category.
- Weekly citation frequency tracking across 5 AI engines
- Competitor generative engine optimization positioning comparison dashboard
- Referral traffic attribution from AI-assisted sessions
We optimize for every AI engine that sends customers to your brand.
Each AI engine uses different data sources, citation rules, and trust signals. A strategy built for one does not transfer to another. We build and maintain GEO coverage across all five at once.
Client case study
Corporate Gear is an enterprise apparel and corporate branding brand. They built $45M+ in annual revenue on traditional SEO and UX. Then they needed that authority inside AI answers, where rivals were gaining first-mover advantage.
The AI visibility problem
They held strong domain authority and page-one Google rankings. Yet they appeared in under 3% of AI answers for core category terms. Competitors with weaker SEO were cited instead, because they had better entity recognition and citation networks.
Citation frequency transformation
Traditional SEO agencies understand Google's algorithm. They do not understand how AI engines are trained.
A traditional search engine optimization agency publishes a page and waits for Google to index it. Generative engine optimization requires building brand authority across the data sources AI engines were trained on, which means working across Wikipedia, structured databases, historical publications, and authoritative domain references that predate the current training cycle. That is a fundamentally different discipline.
Google ranks pages that match search intent. AI engines cite brands that appear as consensus answers across multiple independent, trusted sources. You cannot optimize for consensus by publishing more content on your own domain. You need an external citation network. This is a link building discipline applied to AI training data, not a content marketing exercise.
Generative engine optimization without measurement is guesswork. We track citation frequency across five engines weekly, identify which queries your brand appears in and which it does not, and attribute referral traffic from AI-assisted sessions to revenue events in GA4. You can show your board exactly what generative engine optimization is worth to your brand each quarter.

GEO FAQ: what every marketing leader asks before investing.
No. SEO optimizes web pages for Google's keyword algorithm. GEO optimizes your brand presence for AI systems that generate answers. The inputs differ: entity authority versus keyword density. The target systems differ: language models versus crawlers. The metric differs: citation frequency versus rank. Some skills overlap, but the discipline is genuinely distinct.
We run systematic query sampling across five AI engines weekly. For each query cluster relevant to your brand's category, we submit the query to each engine and record whether your brand is cited, what position it appears in, and which sources the AI used to justify the citation. Citation rate is the percentage of relevant queries where your brand appears as a recommended option. We track this over time and against your top three competitors.
For engines that browse live web content (Perplexity, ChatGPT Browsing), citation improvements appear within 30 to 60 days as new content and citations are indexed. For engines trained on static datasets (some Claude and Gemini variants), improvement cycles align with model update schedules, typically every 3 to 6 months. We optimize for live-browse engines first for fastest visible results, then build the underlying entity authority for long-term citation depth.
Strong traditional search engine optimization is a foundation that generative engine optimization builds on. Domain authority, quality backlinks, and well-structured content all contribute to the brand authority signals that AI engines use. However, traditional search engine optimization alone is not sufficient for generative engine optimization. Many brands with excellent Google rankings have near-zero AI citation rates because they lack entity recognition, citation network presence, and conversationally-structured content. Generative engine optimization is additive to search engine optimization, not a replacement.
Yes. Google AI Overviews are part of our Gemini coverage in the generative engine optimization system. The optimization signals for AI Overviews overlap with traditional Google search engine optimization (Experience-Expertise-Authoritativeness-Trustworthiness, structured data, authoritative backlinks) but require additional optimization for featured snippet extraction, direct question answering, and the specific way Google's generative model synthesizes sources. We include AI Overview optimization as part of the Gemini engine coverage on all generative engine optimization plans.
