How it works

What AEO, GEO & AIO looks like

Generative engine optimization (GEO) raises the chance that AI-generated answers mention or cite your brand. Answer engine optimization (AEO) shapes your content so AI assistants and Google can lift a direct, accurate answer from it. AIO, short for artificial intelligence optimization, is the broader term for preparing your site for AI-driven search. LLM optimization (LLMO) focuses on how large language models describe you. In practice they share the same foundations: pages AI crawlers can read, clear answers, consistent facts and trustworthy sources. We don't promise guaranteed citations. We improve the signals you control and measure what changes.

From our AI visibility checks

Why AI assistants leave a brand out

When ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews skip your business, it usually comes down to one of these.

Your facts don't match across the web

The address, founding year or list of services differs between your website, Google Business Profile and directories. AI tools treat conflicting facts as unreliable and tend to leave them out.

Pages never give a straight answer

Content that takes three paragraphs to reach the point is hard to quote. A direct answer in the first two sentences, followed by the detail, works better for readers and for answer engines.

AI crawlers are blocked

Some sites block GPTBot or PerplexityBot in robots.txt without knowing it, often through a security plugin or a CDN setting. We check what each crawler can actually read.

Nobody else mentions you

AI answers draw on sources beyond your own site. Reviews, industry listings and articles that name your brand give them something to cite.

Who it's for

Who GEO and AEO services are for

  • Businesses with specialist knowledge whose category is now answered by AI tools
  • SaaS and B2B companies selling to the US and UK
  • Indian brands that want accurate descriptions in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity
  • Agencies that need white label GEO for their clients

Definitions

What GEO, AEO, AIO and LLMO mean

Answer engine optimization (AEO)

AEO structures your content so AI assistants and Google can lift a direct, accurate answer from it, including featured snippets and People Also Ask.

Generative engine optimization (GEO)

GEO raises the chance that AI-generated answers mention or cite your brand, by strengthening your facts, entities and third-party corroboration across the web.

AI optimization (AIO)

Artificial intelligence optimization is the umbrella term for getting your website ready for AI-driven search. The work overlaps with GEO and AEO.

LLM optimization (LLMO)

Large language model optimization focuses on how models like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude describe your brand. It depends on consistent facts and sources they can retrieve.

AI engines

Perplexity, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews: what differs

Perplexity SEO

Perplexity searches the web for each question and shows its sources as live citations. Clear, current pages that answer the question directly have a real chance of being cited.

ChatGPT SEO

When ChatGPT searches the web it draws on search results and links its sources. Strong pages and consistent brand facts help it describe you accurately.

Google AI Overviews

AI Overviews draw mostly on pages that already rank well in Google. That's why GEO builds on solid SEO rather than replacing it.

Frequently asked questions

Is GEO replacing SEO?+

No. AI answers lean heavily on pages that already rank, so generative engine optimization builds on SEO.

What's the difference between GEO and AEO?+

AEO aims to make your content the direct answer to a question. GEO aims to get your brand mentioned and cited inside AI-generated answers. Most of the work overlaps.

Can you guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT?+

No. AI answers change with the prompt, the user and the date. We improve the signals you control and report results honestly.

How do you measure AI visibility?+

A fixed set of prompts checked monthly across AI engines, citation share against competitors, and AI referral sessions in GA4.

What is llms.txt?+

A proposed text file that points AI tools to your most important pages. It's cheap to add, but it isn't a ranking factor on its own.

How long does GEO take?+

Technical and entity fixes take 2–4 weeks. Changes in AI citations usually show over 2–3 months.

Do you offer GEO to agencies?+

Yes, as a white-label service for agencies in the US, UK and Australia.
