What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the work of making your brand easy for AI assistants to find, understand and trust, so that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews mention, cite and recommend you when buyers ask about your category.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO earns rankings and clicks in search results. GEO earns mentions and citations inside AI-generated answers. They share a foundation: AI assistants with web search draw on search indexes, so a crawlable, authoritative site is step one. GEO adds entity clarity, third-party proof and content written to be quoted.
How is GEO different from AEO?
AEO makes individual answers easy to extract: snippets, “People Also Ask”, voice. GEO works on the brand as a whole: whether AI systems know who you are, trust you and choose you when they recommend options. We deliver both in one package.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend us?
No. Nobody controls what an AI model says, and answers vary by user, prompt and time. What we commit to is a structured program: a tracked prompt set, a measured baseline, clear work each month and honest reporting on how your mentions and citations change.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We build a set of prompts your buyers actually ask, track how often your brand is mentioned and cited across AI assistants compared with competitors, and measure AI referral traffic (visits from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com and others) in GA4 and HubSpot, down to leads and deals.
Do we need an llms.txt file or special AI markup?
Google says no special files or markup are needed to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode — the fundamentals of good SEO apply. We focus on what demonstrably matters: crawler access, indexing, clear entities, structured data that matches the page, and content and proof worth citing.
Should we block AI crawlers?
It depends on your goals, and blocking the wrong bot can remove you from AI answers. For example, OpenAI’s OAI-SearchBot controls whether a site can appear in ChatGPT search results, while GPTBot is used for model training. We review your robots.txt and CDN settings and set them up deliberately.
How long does GEO take?
Technical fixes such as crawler access and indexing can take effect within weeks. Changes in how AI assistants describe and recommend your brand usually take longer, because they depend on new content, reviews and mentions being published and picked up. We report progress against the baseline every month.
How much do GEO services cost?
GEO and AEO come as one package starting at $2,000/month. SEO programs start at $2,500/month and website technical support at $1,600/month. Exact scope and price are confirmed after the free scan.
Do you work with HubSpot?
Yes. We are a HubSpot-native team, so leads from AI search reach your CRM with their source and landing page, and you can see which topics and pages bring leads and deals.
