Generative Engine Optimization

Our GEO clients typically appear in 3-8 unique LLM answers per month within 90 days of publishing - a channel that didn't exist two years ago and now drives 5-15% of new pipeline conversations.

The shift that makes GEO urgent

In 2024 you Googled a question and clicked a link. In 2026 you increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini and get a synthesized answer with a few citations at the bottom. Whether your buyer clicks the citation or not, the brand named in the answer is the one that gets remembered.

GEO is how you make sure that brand is yours. Not by tricking the model - the AI companies aggressively demote manipulation - but by publishing content in a shape LLMs are structurally inclined to quote: direct answers, clear attributions, credible authors, and machine-readable structure.

What we actually do

First we audit. We run your buyer queries - the 40 to 100 questions your best customers ask before they hire someone like you - through the major LLMs and record who gets cited, who gets mentioned, and where you appear (or don't). That's the baseline.

Then we rebuild the pages that should be winning: TL;DR answer blocks at the top, evidence in the middle, structured data throughout, and comparison pages for the decisions your buyers are actively making. We reinforce authorial authority - real bylines, real credentials, real E-E-A-T - because LLMs weight those signals heavily.

How we measure GEO

Every month we re-run your buyer query panel across ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. The report shows citation count, mention count, sentiment, and specific quoted passages - so you can see exactly which content is doing the work and which needs another pass.

GEO won't replace SEO or paid, but it's the fastest-appreciating channel we've seen since paid social in 2016. The brands showing up in AI answers today will be the default recommendations for the next decade.

Frequently asked

How is GEO different from SEO or AEO?
SEO wins traditional SERPs; AEO wins featured snippets and answer boxes; GEO specifically wins citations inside generative answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. Same content system, different structural rules.
Can you actually measure it?
Yes - we monitor a fixed panel of buyer queries across the major LLMs weekly and report which surface you, which link to you, and which quote you by name.
Should I do GEO before I do SEO?
Do both. GEO wins the fastest-growing surface; SEO still wins the largest one. The content overlap is high, so the marginal cost of doing both is low.
