AI Search Optimization

Rank in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

Traditional SEO gets you on Google. AI Search Optimization (GEO) gets you cited by the AI answers that are replacing it. We engineer the citations, brand mentions, structured data, and topical authority that LLMs pull from when generating answers about your niche.

Why GEO is replacing traditional SEO

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude already answer millions of queries a day without sending a click. If your brand isn't cited inside those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of your buyers — even if you rank #1 in the classic blue links. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the discipline of engineering the citations, entity signals, and structured data these systems pull from. It's not a replacement for SEO; it's the next layer on top.

The four levers that get you cited by LLMs

Every AI answer engine we track (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Perplexity, xAI) pulls from four sources: high-authority editorial articles, structured data on your own site, community platforms like Reddit and Quora, and brand mentions across trusted publications. Our GEO service builds signals in all four in parallel — schema and entity fixes on your site, editorial placements through digital PR, seeded community discussions, and a mention drumbeat that trains the LLMs to associate your brand with your category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI Search Optimization?+

AI Search Optimization (also called GEO or Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing content, entities, and citations so your brand is recommended by AI answer engines like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.

How is GEO different from SEO?+

SEO targets blue-link rankings on Google. GEO targets citations inside AI-generated answers. GEO relies more on entity signals, structured data, brand mentions on authority sources, and question-format content that LLMs can extract cleanly.

How do I get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity?+

LLMs pull from a mix of high-authority editorial sources, structured data, community sites (Reddit, Quora), and brand mentions. We build placements and signals across all four so your brand shows up when users prompt about your niche.

How long until I see AI Overview citations?+

Entity and schema fixes can influence AI Overviews in 2–6 weeks. Sustained citation growth in ChatGPT and Perplexity typically takes 60–120 days as LLMs refresh their retrieval index.

Can you track AI search visibility?+

Yes. We run monthly prompt tests across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, and report on citation count, share of voice vs. competitors, and Knowledge Graph growth.
