Your buyers stopped asking Google. They’re asking

The problem

There is no page two in an AI answer

On Google you could rank eleventh and still get found. An assistant names three companies and stops. You are either in that list or you are invisible, and most brands have never checked which.

What you get

What the work actually involves

GEO, AEO and AIO are three names for the same discipline. Whichever you call it, it comes down to being understandable, verifiable and present where models look.

Talk it through with us
  • Prompt & citation trackingA monitored set of buying prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and AI Overviews, tracked over time so you can see the trend, not a snapshot.
  • Entity and knowledge-graph workMaking your brand, people, products and locations resolve as distinct, correctly-related entities. This is the single biggest lever and the one most often skipped.
  • Structured dataComplete, valid schema across organisation, product, service, FAQ, article and review types, so machines read your pages the way you intend.
  • Answer-shaped contentPages built to be quoted: clear claims, definitions, comparisons and figures a model can lift cleanly without inventing anything.
  • Source-surface coveragePresence on the review sites, directories, forums and publications that models actually sample when forming an answer about your category.
  • Original researchProprietary data and benchmarks give assistants a concrete reason to name you rather than a larger competitor.
  • Fact-consistency cleanupFinding and correcting the stale pricing, old addresses and wrong founder names that models keep repeating back.
  • Monthly share-of-answer reportingOne number that tells you whether this is working, tracked against the competitors you care about.
How it runs

Audit, optimise, then prove it monthly

Step 01

Audit

We benchmark your current visibility across every major assistant and identify precisely why you're being left out, thin entity data, missing sources, unclear claims, or all three.

Week 1

Step 02

Fix the foundations

Entity and schema work first, because nothing else compounds until models can tell who you are and trust what you say.

Weeks 2–5

Step 03

Build the evidence

Answer-shaped pages, original data and placements on the sources models sample from. This is the part that moves the needle and the part that takes patience.

Month 2 onward

Step 04

Measure and repeat

Monthly re-runs of the same prompt set, so you see the curve rather than taking our word for it. We adjust as models retrain.

Becoming the name assistants recommend

Three incumbents dominated the category. We fixed the entity data models had wrong, including a two-year-old incorrect founder name, built founder-led distribution, and published the category's first independent benchmark.

The GEO work felt speculative until customers started telling us they found us through ChatGPT. That's a sentence I couldn't say a year ago.

Questions

Before you get in touch

Mostly the label. Generative Engine Optimisation and Answer Engine Optimisation describe the same discipline, getting cited inside AI-generated answers. AIO is used both for 'AI Optimisation' and for Google's AI Overviews specifically, which is why we avoid it as a standalone term. We've merged them into one service because splitting them would mean charging you twice for the same underlying work.

There's real overlap, clean technical foundations and genuine authority help in both. But the mechanics differ. Classic SEO optimises for a ranked list of links. GEO optimises to be the source a model quotes, which depends far more on entity clarity, verifiable claims and third-party corroboration than on keyword placement. Most of our clients run both, and the research feeds each other.

We test the same set of buying prompts every month and show you the movement. Share of answer either goes up or it doesn't. You'll see the raw outputs, not a summary dashboard.

Usually four to eight weeks for the first shifts, around three months for a change that's meaningfully durable. Entity and schema fixes land fastest; earning citations on third-party sources takes longer because it depends on other people publishing.

Almost never. Most of the work happens in markup, entity data and content that already exists, plus placements off your own site. If your site is genuinely blocking crawlers or unreadable to machines, we'll tell you, but that's a specific fix, not a rebuild.

No, and be sceptical of anyone who does. We don't control the models. What we control is whether you're understandable, verifiable and present in the sources they sample, and we report honestly on the result either way.
