What is a GEO agency?

A GEO agency improves how often a brand is mentioned, cited and recommended in AI-generated answers. GEO stands for generative engine optimization. The work is ordinary SEO plus one extra job: getting the brand named, correctly, on the third-party pages that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI features keep citing.

Traditional rankings still matter. But buyers now ask complex questions in conversational interfaces and receive one synthesized response. Being visible means building the clearest, most credible answer across your site and the wider web.

06

AI search measurement

How our GEO process works

We treat GEO as disciplined organic growth: diagnose the answer space, improve the evidence, publish what buyers need, and keep learning.

01

Query universe and baseline

We build the query set out of the questions your buyers type into an AI, then run every one of them across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode for two to three weeks, logging whether you’re named, where in the answer you show up, which pages get cited and how you’re described.

02

Source mapping and fixes

The pages the models keep citing become your outreach list. While that gets worked we clear crawler access for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot and ClaudeBot, correct the schema, and settle on one description of the company that runs everywhere your brand is listed.

03

Owned pages and third-party mentions

On your own site we build the answer-first pages a model can lift a clean answer from. Off it we contact the publishers behind the cited pages, one at a time, to get you added where you’re missing and corrected where the entry’s wrong.

04

Re-test and attribute

Every month the same query set runs again with the same fields, and the movement gets reported next to branded search, qualified visits and booked calls, so you can see what the citation work did to the pipeline rather than what it did to a chart.

How we measure AI visibility

The report carries mention rate, citation rate, competitor mention rate, the cited URLs and the cited domains, split by platform. All of it comes from the same query set run on the same schedule, so a rise means something moved rather than that we changed the questions.

There’s no proprietary score in it. A single number would make the report prettier and hide what’s worth reading, which is the list of pages behind the answers and whether your brand is on them. Every citation is a link you can open. Read the full methodology

Built to compound.Every asset should strengthen the wider authority system.

Questions worth answering clearly.

Generative engine optimization is new language for a fast-changing search behavior. Here is the no-hype version.

Ask a different question

What is a GEO agency?

A GEO agency gets a brand named and cited in answers generated by AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode. The work covers auditing where the brand shows up now, getting it added to the third-party pages those systems cite, fixing wrong mentions, and building pages on the brand’s own site that the systems can pull from.

What does a GEO agency actually do?

It runs your buyers’ questions across every AI platform and logs which brands get named and which pages get cited. It contacts the publishers behind those pages to get you added or corrected. It builds answer-first pages on your own site, keeps your company described the same way everywhere, makes sure the AI crawlers can reach your pages, and re-runs the queries every month so you can see what moved.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Mostly it isn’t, and the honest agencies say so. The pages an AI answer pulls from are the pages that rank, so ranking is still the foundation. The difference is the extra job: getting the brand onto the sources the models keep citing, and measuring success as being named in the answer rather than clicked in the results.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. Google’s 2026 guidance says its generative AI features are rooted in the same ranking systems as Search, and ChatGPT and Perplexity cite pages that already rank. A site that doesn’t rank doesn’t get cited. Keep your SEO and add the citation work on top.

Which AI platforms do you optimize for?

Our GEO services consider the major discovery environments used by your audience, including Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. The exact platform mix depends on your market, buyer behavior, and where measurable opportunity exists.

How long does generative engine optimization take?

The audit takes two to three weeks. Citations from publisher outreach start landing within the first month or two, depending on how fast publishers respond and what they ask for. New pages on your own site take as long as they take to rank. We report monthly, and you’ll see movement in the citation log before you see it in the answers.

Don’t just rank.
Get referenced.
