Generative engine optimization, in plain words

Generative search engines don’t rank pages. They assemble an answer from sources they trust and name the brands those sources name. GEO is the work of becoming one of those brands: being described consistently across the web so AI systems understand you, covering your topic deeper than anyone, and keeping that content fresh so it keeps getting cited. It builds on strong SEO; it doesn’t replace it.

The ESA 4-direction GEO framework

None of the four works alone. Together they compound every cycle.

Brand authority1. Brand authority: brand mentions in the sources AI engines cite

20–30 placements per quarter in “best CRM tools” and “alternatives to HubSpot” lists; unlinked mentions in the sources models scrape; proprietary research journalists quote.

Topical authority2. Topical authority: entity-based content strategy

Demand map from live ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews queries; pillar pages with 3–7 article clusters; competitive gap analysis; audit and removal of low-value pages.

Free tools3. Free tools: programmatic pages

Job-to-be-done mapping for the 5–10 most frequent jobs around your product; calculators, generators, templates; each on a conversion-ready page that attracts qualified traffic.

Refresh cycle4. Refresh cycle

5–10% of key pages updated every month: data, examples, timestamps, structured data, sitemaps.

Also included in every GEO engagement

The plumbing behind the four directions.

Structured data implementation and content structure

Schema, llms.txt, FAQ and comparison blocks, consistent entity facts, so AI retrieval can quote you.

AI visibility tracking

Weekly prompt tracking across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews; share of voice, AI citation frequency, LLM-to-Google ratio, AI referrals in Search Console and analytics.

Digital PR

Research reports and data stories that earn the mentions and AI recommendations listicles alone can’t.

Who this is for, and who it isn’t

✓ A good fit

  • Apps: strong indexation through ChatGPT, app stores and help centres; we build that in
  • SaaS: B2B and B2C across CRM, marketing, HR, dev tools, analytics, localisation, AI-native
  • Funded seed to Series B, or profitable scale-ups

✗ Probably not a fit

  • No product-market fit yet
  • Categories AI assistants don’t recommend products in (we check for free)
  • You need a position guarantee

What we guarantee, and what we don’t

✓ We guarantee

  • Named deliverables every month (placements, pages, fixes) and a weekly written update
  • Prompt-level and page-level reporting you can audit yourself
  • Month-to-month after month 3; leave with 30 days’ notice and keep everything we built

✗ We don’t guarantee

  • A specific position in Google or ChatGPT. Nobody can; anyone who does is selling you a report, not a result
  • Results without your input: we need product access, a content owner and 2 hours of your time per month
  • Traffic from keywords your product can’t convert

Questions we get on every first call

What makes a good GEO agency?

Three things: a fixed prompt set and engines they measure weekly, placements listed by URL, and a refresh plan for month 4 onward. Top GEO agencies will show you share of voice before and after; the rest show you a ChatGPT screenshot.

We are already mentioned in ChatGPT sometimes. What changes?

Sometimes is the problem: citations decay within months without refresh and without consistent sources. We make it measurable and keep it.

Do GEO agencies replace our SEO?

No. GEO focuses on how AI engines pick sources; it needs strong SEO underneath. We run both or coordinate with your SEO team.

How do you measure AI visibility?

Weekly runs of 50–100 prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews. We report mentions, citations, share of voice vs competitors and AI referral traffic from Search Console and analytics.

How long until we see results?

Technical fixes and first placements land in weeks 1–6. First new citations and ranking gains usually show in weeks 8–12. Compounding growth is a 6–12 month story. We put dates on every step in the roadmap you get after the audit.

We already have an SEO agency or in-house team. Can you work alongside them?

Yes. Most of our engagements run next to an existing team: we own strategy, placements and measurement, they keep publishing. We join your Slack and share one roadmap.

What exactly is in the monthly report?

Prompt-level AI visibility (mentions, citations, share of voice vs competitors), organic traffic and conversions from each channel, placements shipped, and next month’s plan. Weekly: a short Slack update with what shipped.

What do you guarantee?

Scope, cadence and transparency, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. We do not guarantee a position in Google or ChatGPT. See “What we guarantee and what we don’t” above.
