Be the answer, not the also-ran.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI who to trust, that answer should include you. GEO and AEO make sure the AI your customers already consult knows you exist, understands what you do, and trusts you enough to say your name.

What is GEO & AEO

GEO and AEO are two names for the same underlying shift: buyers are increasingly asking an AI model instead of scrolling through ten blue links. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is about how systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity decide who to mention when they synthesize an answer out of many sources. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is about structuring your content so those systems — and direct-answer surfaces more broadly — can actually lift a clean, correct passage out of your site and present it.

Put together, the question both disciplines are answering is simple: does AI know you exist, and does it trust you enough to say your name out loud? That depends on things like how clearly your site states who you are and what you do, whether your claims are corroborated elsewhere on the web, and whether your content is written in a way a model can lift cleanly rather than having to guess at.

We'll be straight with you: this field is new and moving fast. There's no fixed rulebook the way there is for classic technical SEO, and anyone who claims otherwise is overselling. What we do is grounded in testing real queries against real models, watching what changes, and adjusting — not reciting a checklist that was true six months ago.

How we help

We start with an audit: we ask the AI models your customers actually use the questions your customers actually ask, and document exactly what comes back — who gets mentioned, who gets left out, and why that's plausible given what's publicly findable about each business. That gives us a clear picture of where you're already showing up and where you're invisible next to competitors who aren't.

From there we close the specific gaps we found — that might mean restructuring content so it's easier for a model to lift and cite, clarifying who you are and what you do so entity recognition is unambiguous, or making sure the claims on your site are stated plainly enough to be quoted rather than paraphrased into something vague. We don't publish our exact methods here — the playbook stays ours; the results are yours.

Because AI answers shift every time a model updates, this isn't a one-time fix. We monitor the same questions over time and tell you when something changes, good or bad. We prove impact with before-and-after screenshots of actual answers, not jargon or invented scores.

Who this is for

  • You rank fine on Google but vanish in AI chat. Plenty of businesses show up reasonably in traditional search yet get skipped entirely when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity the same question — that gap is usually fixable.
  • Your buyers research before they ever land on your site. B2B and considered-purchase businesses increasingly get evaluated through an AI conversation first, which means the first impression happens somewhere you don't control unless you've prepared for it.
  • Competitors are getting recommended and you're not. If you've noticed a rival showing up in AI answers where you'd expect to see yourself, that's a concrete, fixable signal rather than bad luck.
  • You want proof, not promises. This service suits businesses who want to see the actual before-and-after answers, not a vague "AI optimization" retainer with no visible evidence.

What's included

  • AI visibility audit
  • Citation-ready content structure
  • Answer-ready content & markup
  • LLM monitoring dashboard
  • Competitor AI citation analysis

Questions about GEO & AEO.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?+

SEO is about ranking in the traditional search results — links, keywords, page authority. GEO and AEO are about what an AI model actually says when it generates an answer, or which source it decides to cite. They're related — a well-structured, authoritative page tends to help both — but they're not the same job, and doing one well doesn't guarantee the other. Most businesses now need both running side by side.

How do you measure results?+

We take before-and-after screenshots of real AI answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — for the questions your customers actually ask, and track how those answers change over time. No fabricated citation scores, no invented "AI visibility index." If a model starts mentioning you where it didn't before, you'll see the screenshot, not a chart we made up.

How long until we see AI mentioning us?+

It depends on how big the gaps are and when the underlying models next update their training or retrieval data. As a rough range, sites with fixable structural issues (thin entity info, no clear answer-ready content) often see initial movement within four to eight weeks of the fixes going live. Some queries shift faster, some take a full model refresh cycle. We'll tell you honestly what we're seeing along the way instead of promising a date.

Do you guarantee we'll be cited by AI?+

No — and we'd be lying if we said otherwise. Nobody controls what OpenAI, Google, or Perplexity choose to surface; anyone who guarantees a citation is guessing or overselling. What we commit to is the work we do control: a thorough audit of how you show up today, the specific fixes to close the gaps we find, and ongoing monitoring so we catch changes and adjust as the models evolve.
