GEO, Quick Summary

Understanding GEO

What is
Generative Engine Optimization?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your brand’s online presence to appear in AI-generated search responses. Also known as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) [internal link to AEO page], GEO focuses on getting your content cited, referenced, and recommended when users ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Google’s AI Overviews for information. Think about how you search now. Instead of scrolling through 10 blue links, you ask an AI: “What’s the best project management tool for remote teams?” or “Which agencies specialize in B2B SaaS marketing?” The AI synthesizes information from across the web and delivers a direct answer, often recommending specific brands. If your brand isn’t being cited in those AI responses, you’re invisible to a rapidly growing segment of your target audience.

Our Methodology

Most agencies treat generative engine optimization as a set of one-off tweaks. We run GEO like a repeatable system designed to earn citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews, then convert that visibility into leads and revenue. We use SEO fundamentals where they help (crawlability, indexing, clarity), but every deliverable is prioritized around one outcome, your brand being cited and recommended by AI. This system begins with a discovery call and AI visibility audit.

Discoverability

Make the right pages accessible and unambiguous for AI crawlers

Citability

Structure content so AI can confidently extract and cite it

Authority

Build entity trust through proof signals, mentions, linkable assets

How We Earn AI Citations

Eligibility

Ensure AI crawlers can access, understand, index the pages that should win citations

Extractability

Entity Trust

Citation Growth

Measure and Iterate

The New Landscape

The Two Pillars of Modern AI SEO

AI SEO is not one thing—it’s two distinct but complementary practices. Understanding the difference is critical
to building a comprehensive visibility strategy.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

 Get your brand cited, recommended, and sourced by Large Language Models (LLMs). Generative Engine Optimization focuses on making your content the trusted authority for platforms like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. When users ask these systems for information, your brand appears as the recommended source.

Key Services Include:

Best For:

Brands with strong existing content authority who want to expand visibility into the AI-powered search ecosystem.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Dominate the top of the SERP with direct answers. Answer Engine Optimization focuses on optimizing your content to appear in high-visibility formats like Featured Snippets, People Also Ask boxes, and voice search results. These “zero-click” formats put your answer directly in front of users without requiring a click.

Why AI SEO Matters Now

Why AI SEO matters now

Key Facts (Research-Backed)

The Scale of AI Search

ChatGPT processes 2.5 billion prompts daily, growing 17–24% month over month. Perplexity handles 780M+ queries per month with 2M+ app downloads. Google AI Overviews appear in 30–75% of searches, depending on intent. These are not niche platforms—they are mainstream search engines that are reshaping how users find information.

The Conversion Impact

AI-referred traffic converts 4.4× higher than traditional organic search. This is not just a vanity metric. Users who find your brand through AI recommendations are highly qualified, high-intent leads. They've asked a specific question, and an AI system has recommended your solution. This is powerful.

The Citation Reality

99.5% of AI citations come from pages ranking in Google's top 10 results. This means you don't need to choose between traditional SEO and AI SEO. But you do need both. Your pages need to rank well enough to be in the pool of sources AI systems consider, and then they need to be optimized to be cited.
