What is generative engine optimisation?

Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the practice of improving a business's visibility in AI-assisted discovery. It builds on SEO: crawlable pages, original and useful content, clear entities, accurate business information, evidence and relevant independent mentions. For Google AI features, Google explicitly says established SEO best practices remain the foundation and no special AI markup is required.

Why classic SEO rankings do not guarantee AI citations

A business can hold the number-one Google ranking and still be completely absent from ChatGPT's answers. LLMs do not read rankings - they pull from indexed content, entity corroboration, topical authority and the consistency of facts about your brand across the web. GEO builds those signals specifically.

Why the GEO opportunity is still open

Most businesses are not yet investing in GEO. The tools are new, the discipline is emerging, and most SEO agencies have added "AI" to their website without changing what they deliver. The businesses that build GEO foundations now will be the ones AI tools recommend in 12 months when the field is crowded.

What LLMs actually look for

Answer engines use different retrieval systems and can change over time. Clear topical coverage, sourceable facts, consistent business details, sound indexation and useful page structure improve eligibility, but no individual tactic guarantees a citation.

GEO is a long-term competitive moat

AI visibility is not permanent. Platforms, indexes and responses change, so the durable approach is to maintain useful content, accurate entity information, independent evidence and regular measurement rather than trying to target model training data.

What our GEO service delivers

A six-part programme that improves discovery, content quality, entity clarity and measurement across relevant AI-assisted search surfaces.

Entity and brand signal audit

We check whether your brand, founder, services and credentials are consistent and corroborated across GBP, LinkedIn, Companies House, directories and on-site schema.

Topical authority architecture

We build a hub-and-spoke cluster around the important questions buyers ask about your service, giving search and AI systems stronger topical context.

GEO-formatted content

Answer-first writing with atomic facts, clear entity references, structured headings and the citation-friendly format that LLMs extract and attribute to named sources.

Schema and structured data

Relevant structured data represents visible facts in a machine-readable format. We use supported types accurately, validate the markup and avoid claims that schema alone creates trust or citations.

Corroboration stack

We publish and align the same facts about your business across every major signal source - GBP, LinkedIn, Bing, Clutch, sector directories - so LLMs see consistent, credible information from multiple independent sources.

AI citation monitoring

Monthly tracking of your mentions in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini, with analysis of which queries you are winning, losing and should target next.

How GEO builds LLM citation

Six steps to becoming the business AI tools recommend by name.

Step 01

Entity audit

We check whether your brand exists as a consistent, corroborated entity that LLMs can recognise - and find every gap that is blocking citation.

Step 02

Topical authority map

We build the full cluster of questions your buyers ask AI tools and assign each to a page - so your site becomes the deepest source on your topic.

Step 03

Content and schema

We publish original, answer-first content across the topic cluster, with clear facts, supporting context and sources where claims need evidence.

Step 04

Corroboration stack

We align verifiable brand facts across your website, business profiles and relevant third-party sources so people and discovery systems encounter consistent information.

Step 05

Monitor and compound

We track your AI citations monthly and identify where to add content, corroboration and schema to expand coverage and lock in your position.

GEO questions we are asked

What does generative engine optimisation mean?

Generative engine optimisation (GEO) means structuring your content and brand signals so the large language models that power AI search tools - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can find, understand and cite your business when generating answers for users. It is different from SEO, which targets Google's ranking algorithm.

Is GEO the same as AI SEO?

GEO is one component of AI SEO. AI SEO is the umbrella term covering GEO (getting cited in AI-generated answers), AEO (appearing in AI Overview answer boxes), LLM SEO (ChatGPT and Perplexity citation specifically) and classic Google SEO. Our AI SEO service covers all four.

How long does GEO take to produce AI citations?

There is no fixed citation timeline. Discovery depends on crawl frequency, indexation, query demand, source quality and the systems used by each platform. We establish a baseline, implement measurable improvements and report changes over time.

Does my business need to be a well-known brand for GEO to work?

No, but a clear web presence helps. Smaller businesses can improve eligibility by publishing original expertise, keeping business facts consistent, earning relevant independent mentions and maintaining sound SEO foundations.
