Generative engine optimization services that start from your best keywords

Generative engine optimization (GEO) gets your brand named in the answers AI engines give your buyers, and it is the same service as AEO. When an HR software SEO lead described this work to us, she never once said AEO. She said GEO and LLM visibility, because GEO was the word in her company's goals.

In short

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your brand named and cited when ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answer your buyers. GEO and AEO are two names for the same service here. We start from your best keywords, turn them into buyer prompts, track who the engines name, and fix what keeps you out.

Why now

Why it matters now

Buyers now find agencies this way. One told us she went to AI, researched what digital PR is, asked it to suggest an agency, and ours came up. Another used every AI tool and asked about ninety different questions before we shone through in the top ten.

Large language models rely on consensus more. They look at third-party platforms to understand how those platforms represent a brand. A recent study pointed out that brand mentions are some of the strongest correlating signals with generative AI.

What's included

Your top fifty keywords from organic search, mapped to a series of relevant prompts as a baseline
Those prompts run on a schedule, with your share next to your rivals'
Fixes for the pages the engines skip, and mentions on the sources they cite
A monthly read-out with the number of answers behind every figure

How it works

How we work

Keywords become prompts. In SEO we had keywords. The simple and most elegant evolution of that is to take your most impactful keywords from organic search and build prompts off of those.
Check more than one engine. ChatGPT is the go-to, but when an answer needs a second check we go to Gemini, because it has a much stronger search index and better grounding.
Fix and earn. We fix the pages the engines skip and earn mentions on the sites they trust.
Test, then repeat. The whole thing is a little bit of art, a little bit of science and a little bit of testing, and different sites are impacted differently.

The limits

What we won't sell you

GEO is about nine parts in ten the same as SEO, but the last part can make a big difference. If you're optimizing for Google and considering AI, you're already ahead of most companies. The buyer we said that to agreed: there's no hacky way; you just have to be a good company. So we don't sell special files or markup as the fix.

It has taken some brands five years to build what the engines now repeat, and we tell you that stuff like this takes time.

Questions buyers ask

What is generative engine optimization?

It is the practice of getting a brand named and cited in answers written by AI engines.

Is GEO different from AEO?

No. They are two names for the same work.

Is GEO different from SEO?

Mostly not. GEO adds prompt tracking and more weight on mentions. See AI SEO agency.

Does paid search help GEO?

It can. If a company is spending a ton of money on paid search, that's a strong brand signal, which also lifts click-through rates in organic results, even for non-branded terms. We track the AI channel in AI search analytics.

How much do GEO services cost?

GEO is the AEO module in a GFD ONE plan, sized on a 20-minute teardown, with a three-month minimum. You can start with an AI visibility audit.

What do you most want from search right now?
