· What we mean by GEO ·

GEO is what SEO became when search moved inside the answer.

Traditional SEO competes for a rank. GEO competes for the citation itself — the sentence inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or Gemini that names your brand to the buyer. The mechanics are different. The economics are different. And most legacy SEO agencies are not equipped to execute against either.

What it is

Generative Engine Optimization is the discipline of engineering content, entity structure, and corpus presence so that frontier language models reach for your brand when they synthesize answers. It blends technical SEO, entity work, content strategy, and corpus seeding — sequenced by leverage, not alphabet.

Why it matters now

In 2025, 60% of Google searches ended without a click. ChatGPT alone serves 400M+ weekly users actively asking for product, vendor, and brand recommendations. When buyers stop browsing links and start asking machines, the brand the machine names wins the deal. Everyone else is structurally invisible.

Why it is different

GEO requires you to optimize for systems that do not reveal their ranking logic, do not return click-through data, and update their behavior weekly. That demands a different stack: continuous monitoring, citation-share measurement, drift detection, and a content philosophy that treats the model — not the SERP — as the reader.

· What's included ·

Six deliverables. One integrated engagement.

AI visibility baseline

500+ buyer-intent prompts run across 6 AI platforms. Citation-share, position, and competitor inclusion benchmarked at engagement kickoff.

Entity & identity work

Wikidata claims, schema deployment, disambiguation. Make the model name you with confidence — not your seven look-alikes.

Corpus seeding

Editorial, contributed, and syndicated placements in the high-authority sources frontier models actually train on. Wikipedia, tier-1 trade, Common Crawl-indexed publishers.

Citation-ready content

Pillar pages, comparison hubs, and passage-level pages engineered for RAG extraction. Designed for both humans and the retrieval pipelines that summarize them.

Continuous monitoring

Weekly scans across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Drift alerts within days of any model update.

Quarterly recalibration

Models change. Our roadmap changes with them. Every quarter we re-score you against the 5 Layers and resequence the work by current leverage.

Questions about GEO.

GEO is the practice of engineering your content, entity presence, and corpus footprint so that AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your brand when they synthesize answers for buyers. Unlike SEO, which optimizes for a ranking position on a results page, GEO optimizes for inclusion within the synthesized answer itself.
SEO targets click-through on a results page. GEO targets citation within a synthesized AI answer. They share substrate work — technical SEO, schema, content quality — but the measurement, leverage points, and authority signals differ materially. Most credible engagements ship both side by side.
Primary coverage: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Secondary benchmarks: You.com and Brave Summarizer. We add platforms within 30 days of any new launch reaching meaningful query volume.
Baseline audit deliverables land in 10 days. First measurable citation-share movement typically appears in weeks 4–8. Compounding gains continue through month 3 and beyond. We report weekly; no surprises at QBR.
Engagements start at $8,500 for a one-time diagnostic, $18,500/mo for a quarterly retainer, and $42,000/mo for an annual partnership. Pricing is published openly on our pricing page — informed clients become better partners.
No. We extend it. The same substrate work that earns Google rankings often feeds AI citation. We treat SEO and GEO as a continuous practice — the relative budget split shifts toward GEO over time as buyer behavior shifts, but neither disappears.
