Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Get Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity & AI Assistants
Search is shifting from “ten blue links” to “one AI answer.” GEO makes your content the source that answer cites — not one of the nine it skips.
Where you’re stuck
You rank in classic search, yet AI assistants never cite you — users never see your brand in the answer
Your robots.txt blocks AI crawlers by default, or you have no llms.txt, so AI engines can’t fetch or understand your site
Pages lack structured data and semantic markup, so AI can’t confidently treat your content as a fact source
What you get
- ✓ GEO audit report: an itemized, prioritized list of citability gaps (with screenshots and a fix checklist)
- ✓ Schema.org structured data: Organization / Article / FAQPage / BreadcrumbList configured per page type
- ✓ Semantic HTML & content rebuild: lead with the conclusion, split into extractable passages, add FAQ blocks
- ✓ AI crawler access: robots.txt allow-list + an llms.txt site manifest (with a maintainable template)
- ✓ Internal-link cluster & canonical plan so topic pages reinforce each other as an authoritative source
- ✓ A reproducible verification method for checking retrieval/citation inside AI engines

FAQ
Is GEO the same as SEO?
No. SEO optimizes search-engine ranking (blue links); GEO optimizes the probability of being retrieved and cited by generative AI engines. They overlap at the foundation (semantics, structured data), but GEO emphasizes extractability, factual trust and AI-crawler reachability. We do both and accept them separately.
Will this guarantee ChatGPT cites me?
We deliver every technical prerequisite for citation, verifiable and reproducible — but no one can guarantee a specific engine cites you at a specific moment; that depends on its live index and ranking. Before handover we test retrieval with you in the target engines.
Could this hurt my existing search rankings?
No. GEO changes (structured data, semantic HTML, internal links) align with SEO best practice and usually improve classic search too. Every change keeps a rollback point.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on site size and number of page types. A single-site audit is usually a few business days; the full rebuild rolls out by page type. Send a one-sentence brief and we reply feasibility and a fixed quote within 24 hours.
