Get cited in the answer. Not just ranked in the result.

Generative Engine Optimisation is how brands stay visible when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews decide which sources to quote. We engineer entity authority, structured data and citable content for the answer-engine era.

what is geo

Optimisation for the era of generated answers.

For 25 years SEO meant one thing: rank a page for a keyword. Answer engines changed that. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question, the model writes an answer and lists its sources.

The new game is being one of those sources.

GEO is the engineering discipline that gets your brand cited: entity authority, structured data, citable content and knowledge-graph alignment. We build all of it.

the pipeline

The five stages we optimise.

Every answer engine moves a query through roughly the same pipeline. GEO improves your odds at each step.

  1. 01

    Entity

    Recognise the brand as a real-world entity in knowledge graphs.

    we tune · entity & knowledge-graph work
  2. 02

    Crawl

    Render and parse content the way LLM training pipelines do.

    we tune · schema & structured data
  3. 03

    Index

    Store as structured facts, citations and source confidence.

    we tune · fact-dense, citable content
  4. 04

    Retrieve

    Surface during user prompts based on relevance and trust.

  5. 05

    Cite

    Appear as the named source in the model's answer.

what we ship

Six things we ship in every GEO engagement.

No single tactic gets you cited. GEO is six disciplines, integrated.

AI-optimised content

Structured Q&A formatting, fact-dense answers and long-form pillar pages engineered to be quoted verbatim by LLMs.

Entity & knowledge graph

Wikidata, Google Knowledge Panel, consistent entity mentions and cross-platform identity alignment.

Schema & structured data

FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Organization and dataset schemas implemented as JSON-LD across the site.

Citable resource creation

Original studies, datasets, calculators, glossaries and reports: the kind of content LLMs index as ground truth.

AI visibility audits & monitoring

Track citations and entity recognition across Copilot, AI Overviews, Perplexity and ChatGPT. Diff over time.

Digital PR & link building

Editorial mentions in niche publications and the authoritative sources LLMs already trust.

diagnostics

Every engagement starts with three audits.

why now

Three reasons GEO is non-optional.

  1. 01

    Be the cited source.

    When ChatGPT answers a buyer's question in your category, your brand should be the source name in the citation.

  2. 02

    Build durable brand trust.

    LLMs weight repeated, consistent entity mentions across the web. We engineer that surface area on purpose.

  3. 03

    Future-proof against AI disruption.

    Discovery is shifting from search results to generated answers. GEO is how you stay visible through that shift.

faq

Questions answer engines also ask.

Including the one most agencies dodge: no, nobody can guarantee a citation.

GEO is the practice of structuring your brand, content and authority signals so AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) can understand your entity, index your content as ground truth and cite you by name in their generated answers.
Traditional SEO optimises for SERP rankings on keyword queries. GEO optimises for citation inside generated answers. The mechanics overlap (technical SEO, content quality, link authority) but the goals diverge: ranking versus being quoted.
No, and any agency that says otherwise is lying to you. We can increase the probability of citation through entity engineering, schema, content structure and authority signals, and we measure that lift directly.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot, You.com, voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant), plus the source platforms LLMs learn from: Wikipedia, Reddit, Quora, Medium and high-trust niche publications.
Not entirely. Google still drives a majority of discovery, and AI Overviews sit on top of organic results. GEO complements traditional SEO; together they cover both ranking surfaces and citation surfaces.
Fact-dense expert content with clear claims, citations, datasets and structured Q&A. How-to guides, original research, glossaries and authoritative pillar pages: the things LLMs prefer to quote because they're easy to summarise accurately.
AI visibility audits, brand mention tracking, citation counts across answer engines, schema coverage, entity recognition scores and traditional Search Console / SERP feature data, combined into a single GEO dashboard.
Yes. Fully white-labelled GEO services with branded deliverables, monitoring dashboards and reporting your agency can present as its own work. How white-label SEO works →
