Overview

How our GEO service helps your business grow

Millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot to recommend a provider instead of scrolling through search results. Google’s AI Overviews also summarise answers above the traditional listings. If AI tools don’t know about your business—or describe it inaccurately—you’re invisible in the fastest-growing search channel.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) makes your brand easy for AI systems to find, understand, trust and cite. We audit how leading AI tools currently describe you and your competitors, then fix the gaps: clear entity information, consistent business details across the web, authoritative content with facts and statistics AI can quote, and structured data that removes ambiguity.

Because large language models learn from what the wider web says about you, we also grow your presence on trusted third-party sources—industry directories, review platforms, publications and relevant communities. The result is a brand that AI assistants mention accurately and recommend confidently.

FAQ

GEO – Generative Engine Optimization questions

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

+

GEO is the practice of optimising your brand and content so AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention, cite and recommend you in their answers.

How do you get a business recommended by ChatGPT?

+

AI models favour brands that are consistently described across trusted sources. We strengthen your website content, structured data, reviews, directory listings and third-party mentions so AI tools have clear, credible information to recommend you.

What is the difference between GEO and SEO?

+

SEO focuses on ranking web pages in search engine results. GEO focuses on how AI tools generate answers—making sure your brand is mentioned, cited and recommended inside those answers. GEO builds on strong SEO but adds entity optimisation, citable content and third-party authority.

What is llms.txt?

+

llms.txt is a plain-text file placed at the root of a website that summarises the business and links to its most important pages in a format that large language models can easily read. We create and maintain it as part of our GEO service.

Can you track if ChatGPT recommends my business?

+

Yes. We run a consistent set of buyer-style prompts across major AI tools on a regular schedule and report on whether your brand appears, how it’s described and which sources are cited.
