In short

GEO makes sure AI searches such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google find your business and name it correctly. It builds on SEO and is not magic: we create the conditions, whether an AI names you is decided in the end by its provider.

Why this matters now

People used to type a few words into Google and get a list of websites. Today they ask an AI a whole question and get a ready-made answer. The AI often names one or two businesses. Whoever is named there gets the enquiry.

Example (illustration): what an AI answer can look like. Whether and how an AI names your business is decided by its provider.

What is the difference to SEO?

SEO makes sure Google shows your site high in the list. GEO makes sure an AI names your business in its answer. Both read the same websites, which is why GEO builds on SEO.

Illustration. The classic list on the left, the answer of an AI search on the right.

The three building blocks, explained simply

1. Findable: the shop window

The site is fast, cleanly built and readable for the programs of AI searches. We check access, structure and structured data: may search programs read the site, and is nothing blocked by accident?

2. Quotable: the clear answer

An AI gladly takes clear, short answers to real customer questions. That is why we write questions and answers, comparisons and explainers, with figures and dates, so statements are easy to pick up.

3. Credible: the recommendation

The same business description everywhere, clean entries on other websites, your Google Business Profile and real reviews. An AI trusts what several sources confirm.

What we do every month

  • AI visibility audit: we ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google real customer questions and check whether and how your business is named
  • Question research: which questions your customers ask and where you are still missing
  • Content as question and answer: FAQs, comparisons and explainers that can be quoted directly
  • Structured data and business profile: machine-readable details on business, services and prices, matched with your website
  • Checking access for AI programs
  • Sources outside your site: entries in directories and other trustworthy sources, without bought reviews
Example report with placeholders in [brackets]. Real figures only exist after the first test with your business.

Honestly: nobody can guarantee that an AI names your business, not even us. We do not buy reviews, invent references or place mentions under a false name. The systems detect that and it harms you. What we promise: regular work, a clear monthly report and honest advice.

GEO is only available as an add-on to SEO support, because the two build on each other. The service is under GEO and AI visibility, the prices on the prices page.
