How to choose a GEO agency when every proposal promises ChatGPT
For marketing leads comparing GEO proposals: whether GEO is different from SEO, what the research found, the crawler question, the claims to test, and what a good engagement measures.
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews who to shortlist, we make sure your company is findable, quotable and corroborated.

Why companies go missing in AI answers
Google says its AI features need no special files or markup. Optimizing for them is still SEO.
We treat GEO as SEO done properly, plus the places AI engines read beyond your site. AEO is the same work, named from the answer’s side.

Generative engine optimization services
Our GEO services cover AEO too. We start with a baseline, so every change is held against what assistants said before.

Buyer’s checklist
The decisions, comparisons and checks we work through with every buyer. Put them to any supplier, us included.
GEO, AEO, LLM SEO, AI search optimization: the names multiply and the work overlaps. We treat the overlap as the point: none of them works if the pages underneath cannot be found and read.
| Aspect | SEO | AEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank pages in search results | Make the answer on a page easy to extract | Be a source AI-generated answers can name and cite |
| Where it shows | Google and Bing results | Featured snippets, People also ask, voice answers | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode |
| Main levers | Technical health, relevance, links | Direct answers and clear definitions, in plain text | All of the SEO and AEO levers, plus what third-party sources say about you |
| How it is measured | Rankings, clicks, inquiries | Snippet and answer appearances | Citations and mentions in assistant answers, AI-referred inquiries |
We deliver them as one program, because the same page has to rank, answer and be worth citing.
We work from seven things, drawn from Google’s guidance on its AI features and from reading which sources AI answers cite for B2B buying questions. None of them needs a special file, and none guarantees a citation.
What Google says a site does not need for its AI features: new machine-readable files, AI text files, Markdown copies, special markup, content broken into small pieces, or writing in a special way for AI. Other assistants may read files such as llms.txt, and we publish one for our own site, but it replaces no line above.

Step 1 of 5
Before anything changes, we ask the questions your buyers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. We record what assistants say about you and your competitors today, and which sources they cite.
Baseline
Step 2 of 5
We set the order from the baseline: which pages to make answer-ready first, and which third-party profiles to correct. Where search engines cannot crawl or index your pages, we fix that first.
Plan
Step 3 of 5
We rewrite your service pages and articles around what only your company knows, stated plainly in text. We state your company facts the same way on your site and in structured data that matches the visible page.
Answer-ready pages
Step 4 of 5
We check the review platforms, directories and comparison pages assistants cite for your category, and correct what is wrong or out of date. We do not plant mentions.
Third-party sources
Step 5 of 5
We ask the same assistant questions again each month, against the baseline, beside the generative AI report in Search Console and a question on your inquiry form. Third-party sources take longer to change than your own pages, and assistants update on their own schedules.

We start generative engine optimization with a baseline, before anything changes, and we advise every company to do the same. That means asking the questions your buyers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, and recording who gets named and which sources get cited.
We then advise checking that your key pages are indexable and readable, and that your company is described the same way on your site and on third-party profiles. Those checks show which pages to make answer-ready first and which profiles to correct. Where the pages are not indexed properly, a technical SEO audit comes before any GEO work.
We treat generative engine optimization as almost entirely the same work as traditional SEO. Google’s own guide says optimizing for its generative AI search is still SEO. What generative engine optimization adds is the places assistants read beyond your site: review platforms, directories and comparison pages.
AI answers are built from pages that search engines have found and indexed, so our SEO services cover the same ground from the ranking side.
Traditional search returns a ranked list of links, and the buyer chooses which to open. AI search returns a written answer: the AI models behind ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity read several sources, summarize them and cite a few. Two things change for a B2B company. A buyer can form a shortlist without visiting any website, so being named and cited matters as much as ranking. And clicks can fall while visibility holds, so we measure citations and AI-referred inquiries beside rankings. What stays the same is that the answer is built from pages search engines can find and read.
We measure generative engine optimization against a baseline, in three ways. We read the generative AI report in Google Search Console, which shows impressions only. We ask the same buyer questions of each assistant every month and record whether your company is named and which sources are cited.
A question on your inquiry form, asking whether the buyer found you through an AI assistant, ties the work to inquiries.
No, we do not recommend generative engine optimization for every type of website. It suits a site where two things are true: search engines can crawl and index your pages, and your buyers ask assistants about your category.
Some purchases are still made through tenders and referrals, and there the work would go into answers your buyers do not read. We recommend generative engine optimization for B2B companies where the buyer asks an assistant for a shortlist before visiting any website.
We price generative engine optimization on four things. They are how many buyer questions and assistants the baseline covers, how many pages have to be made answer-ready, how many third-party profiles need correcting, and whether indexing problems have to be fixed first.
The monthly checks against the baseline are the running part of the budget after that. We do not publish prices; we scope the work first and price that scope.
No, we cannot guarantee that generative engine optimization will make an AI assistant recommend you. Nobody controls what an assistant says, so no generative engine optimization agency can promise a recommendation.
What we do is check that your pages can be found, write answers an assistant can quote, and correct the facts about you on the third-party sources assistants read. A proposal that promises more is one of the claims to test before you buy GEO work.
No, we do not consider llms.txt or special markup necessary for Google’s AI search. Google says a site does not need new machine-readable files, AI text files, Markdown copies or special markup to appear in Google Search. It also says there is no need to break content into small pieces for AI.
Some other assistants may read llms.txt, so publishing one does no harm, but it replaces none of the fundamentals.
Yes, gaming AI answers is against Google’s rules, and we do none of it. Google’s spam policies now name attempts to manipulate generative AI responses in Google Search, and pages produced mainly to manipulate rankings count as scaled content abuse.
Its AI guide says seeking inauthentic mentions across the web is not as helpful as it might seem. Our work is accurate pages and accurate profiles.
Three cases where we’ll tell you to spend the money elsewhere first.
The site isn’t indexed properly: Assistants can’t cite what search engines can’t crawl. Technical SEO first.
Nobody asks assistants about your category: Check what your buyers actually do before paying for answers they don’t read.
You want a guaranteed recommendation: Nobody controls what an assistant says. We work on what can be controlled.
GEO fits buyers who ask an assistant for a shortlist before visiting any website.
Share your category and the questions buyers put to assistants. You’ll talk to the people who would do the work and hear straight whether GEO is where to start. We reply within 12 hours.
