Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your business named and cited when AI assistants answer questions about your market. It combines crawlable pages, answer-first content with verifiable facts, a consistent brand entity, and mentions on the third-party sites those assistants rely on.
Why it matters now
Assistants summarize a few sources per answer. They favor pages that state facts plainly, show who is behind them, and are confirmed by other sites. GEO builds exactly those conditions, and most of it also strengthens Google rankings.
What is included

Frequently asked questions
Is GEO different from SEO?
It overlaps heavily. Crawlability, clear pages and authority matter to both. GEO adds a focus on being quoted and named in answers, which puts more weight on plain factual statements, entity consistency and mentions on other sites.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Crawler and content fixes can change how assistants describe you within weeks, because some tools search the live web for each answer. Earned mentions and reviews build over months. We report the prompt-level change every month so you can see the trend.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can guarantee what an AI model says. We can measure it, improve the inputs that influence it, and show you the change over time.
