Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your brand named, cited and recommended in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It covers what your pages say, how AI crawlers read them, and what other sites say about you, measured prompt by prompt.
Search has moved into the answer. In a Pew Research Center study of 900 US adults (March 2025), people clicked a search result 8% of the time when Google showed an AI summary, against 15% when it did not. If your brand is not in the answer, many buyers never reach your site.
Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) describe the same work: making sure AI engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity find your brand, understand it and recommend it when buyers ask. Some teams say GEO, others say AEO. We do both under one plan, and we measure both the same way: which answers name your brand, which sources the engines cite, and how often you are recommended over competitors.
GEO does not replace SEO. Strong pages still matter, because several AI engines draw on search results. GEO adds the work SEO does not cover: the prompts, the sources each engine trusts, and proof of where you appear.

No one can guarantee placement in an AI answer, and we do not. We guarantee the work and the evidence: what we changed, and whether each prompt is named, cited or not yet, every week.
Yes. AI shopping assistants and AI search both read product data, reviews and retailer listings. We track whether your products are named for your buyers' prompts on marketplaces as well as on your own site.
Send us the prompt you most want to win at our AI Search Review page. Our GEO team runs it and shows you who owns the answer today, and why.
Every week we ask each tracked prompt again on each engine and record one of three results: named, cited or not yet. You see the answer text and the evidence, not a single blended score.
SEO ranks pages in search results. GEO gets your brand into the answer an AI engine writes. SEO works on keywords and links; GEO works on the full questions buyers ask, the sources each engine cites, and weekly proof of whether you are named. The two work together.
There is no fixed timeline. AI engines re-read sites and change how they choose sources on their own schedule. What we commit to is weekly evidence of where you stand, prompt by prompt, so you can see progress as it happens.
Plans start at $3,500 a month, set by how competitive your category's AI answers are, not by company size. Larger plans cover more competitors and engines. Send us a prompt and we will show you where you stand first.
Yes, in practice. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) are two names for the same goal: being the brand AI engines recommend. We run them as one service and report on both.
AEO stands for answer engine optimization: getting your brand cited and recommended in the answers AI engines give, such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity. It covers the content on your site, how engines read it, and what the rest of the web says about your brand.
GEO is the work of getting your brand named, cited and recommended in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. It combines answer-ready pages, structured product data and presence on the sources each AI engine trusts, measured prompt by prompt.

We test changes on a staging copy first and release them only after your sign-off. GEO work such as clearer answers, structured data and better sources usually supports SEO as well.
