Do I still need traditional SEO if I invest in GEO?

Absolutely. Traditional SEO and GEO work together. While GEO ensures you appear in AI chat summaries and overviews, traditional SEO ensures you continue to capture traffic from standard search results. A strong traditional SEO foundation (like fast page speeds and authoritative backlinks) actually makes your GEO efforts much more effective.

Which AI platforms can AI GEO help my business appear in?

A comprehensive AI GEO strategy can improve your visibility across leading AI search and answer platforms, including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Perplexity AI, and other generative search experiences. While no agency can guarantee mentions or citations, following AI GEO best practices significantly improves your chances of being referenced when users ask relevant questions.

How do I get my business mentioned in ChatGPT or Perplexity?

To be recommended by an LLM, your brand must be established as a distinct digital "entity." This requires highly structured website data (JSON-LD schema), fact-dense website content that directly answers user prompts, and a strong "consensus" of positive mentions across third-party websites that the AI already trusts.

How long does AI GEO take to produce results?

Most businesses begin seeing improvements in AI visibility within three to six months, although this varies depending on your industry's competitiveness, your existing website authority, and the amount of optimisation required. AI GEO is an ongoing process that builds long-term authority, much like SEO, with results generally becoming stronger as your brand earns more trust and recognition online.

Our proven Generative Engine Optimisation process

We blend the latest AI research with robust technical architecture to feed your data directly to the engines that matter.

1. Knowledge Graph & Entity Audit

We audit how AI currently perceives your brand by testing prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE to find data gaps. We build advanced, nested JSON-LD schema markup (including Organization, FAQPage, and AboutPage) to feed hard facts directly to AI crawlers.

2. Brand Consensus Mapping

We identify the third-party platforms, industry directories, and news sites that AI models already trust in your specific industry, creating a roadmap to get your business mentioned there.

3. Semantic Formatting

We format your core service pages using specific H-tag hierarchies and Q&A structures designed to win Google Featured Snippets and voice search queries. We strip away marketing fluff and inject high-density, factual statements that Large Language Models prefer to use when synthesising answers.

4. Direct Answer Injection

We structure your pricing, features, and unique selling propositions into tables and lists, which are mathematically easier for LLMs to process and cite.

5. Authority Building & Mention Tracking

We monitor how often and in what context your brand is being recommended by generative engines.
