Assistants repeat their sources. Become one of them.
Generative engine optimization gets your brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini by earning a place in the pages those models read. Measured every week against the questions your buyers actually ask.

Why you are missing
Your own site is not where the answer is written.
Generative engines assemble answers from pages they trust. For most categories that means review platforms, Reddit threads and industry roundups far more than brand blogs.

Rankings are not citations
A brand can dominate the blue links and be absent from every source a model quotes. No rank tracker shows that gap.
03
Access can be the whole problem
GPTBot blocked in robots.txt, or pages that render empty without JavaScript, mean a model cannot read you at all. It is a surprisingly common finding.
What we do
Four workstreams. One citation share.
We trace what the models read, rebuild your pages to be quoted, earn the third-party presence that changes an answer, and report the result weekly.
Map the prompts
See what the models say today
We write the buying-intent questions your category asks and run them across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Every answer is stored verbatim, including who is named in your place. Most brands start in the low single digits.

Proof · B2B compliance SaaS · US
From 4 to 131 of 214 buying-intent AI prompts citing the brand.
Rankings were stable but demo requests had flatlined. Prospects were asking AI assistants for “best SOC 2 compliance tools” and the brand appeared in none of the answers.
Buyers ask an assistant for a shortlist before they shortlist anything themselves: B2B software, professional services, considered D2C.
Your rankings are healthy but enquiries are flattening.
You want a weekly number you can check, not a reassurance.
You will earn third-party presence, because engines trust review sites and communities over your own domain.
Probably not a fit if
Nobody researches your category. Impulse and pure convenience purchases skip the assistant.
You need revenue inside a month. Citations can move in weeks, but category-level presence is a multi-quarter build.
You want a guaranteed mention. No agency controls what a model outputs.
Your site cannot ship technical change, so crawler access can never be fixed.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us first.
What is a generative engine optimization agency?
A generative engine optimization agency optimizes your brand to be cited inside answers from generative AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini. Instead of ranking a page in a list of blue links, generative engine optimization services structure your content for extraction, earn mentions on the third-party sources those models trust, and track how often the models quote you.
What is generative engine optimization?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting a brand referenced in the answers produced by generative AI systems. It combines extractable on-page structure (definitions, tables, sourced statistics), off-page presence on the review sites and communities LLMs cite, and technical access for AI crawlers, measured by citation share rather than keyword position.
How is generative engine optimization different from SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking a page in a list of results a person clicks. Generative engine optimization optimizes for being quoted inside an AI answer, where there is often no list at all. GEO writes content for extraction, earns mentions on the sources LLMs trust, and measures citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini instead of only tracking keyword positions.
How long do generative engine optimization services take to work?
AI-citation gains can move faster than classic rankings because LLMs re-crawl trusted sources frequently. One of our clients went from 4 to 131 of 214 tracked prompts citing them over eight months, with the first measurable lift inside the first month. Timelines vary by category competitiveness and how often the models refresh their sources.
Which AI engines do you optimize for?
We optimize for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini, and we cover Google AI Overviews and featured snippets through our answer engine optimization work. We audit the exact buying-intent prompts in your category, identify which sources each engine cites, and engineer your presence into those answers.
How do you measure generative engine optimization results?
We track the share of your target buying-intent prompts that mention your brand, reported weekly, alongside referral traffic and conversions from AI assistants. Because AI-referral visitors arrive pre-qualified, we also report how they convert relative to classic organic traffic, which for our compliance-SaaS client ran 4.4 times higher.
How much do generative engine optimization services cost?
There is no published price, because the honest number depends on how competitive your category is and how far your citation share sits from where it needs to be. GEO runs as a monthly retainer scoped on a first call, sized to that gap. We never quote a retainer before we are confident we can win your prompts.
Why is my brand missing from AI answers when I rank well in Google?
Ranking and being cited are different achievements. Generative engines assemble answers from sources they trust — review platforms, community threads, industry roundups — and a brand can dominate the blue links while being absent from every one of them. The other frequent cause is mechanical: GPTBot blocked in robots.txt, or pages that render empty without JavaScript.
Can GEO displace a competitor that is already cited?
Usually yes, because a citation is far less entrenched than a first-position ranking. Answers are reassembled from sources on every crawl, so displacing an incumbent means becoming better represented in the sources the model reads rather than out-waiting a domain that has ranked for a decade. The position is contested rather than closed.
Do I still need traditional SEO alongside GEO?
Yes. Generative answers are built from content and third-party authority, which is precisely what classic SEO produces, so a site with poor technical health and thin topical depth struggles to be cited however well its pages are structured. We run search and generative work as one engine rather than as competing budgets.
