GENERATIVE ENGINE OPTIMIZATION  // GEO agency

Generative engine
optimization agency —
get cited when AI writes the answer.

When ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude composes an answer about your category, a few brands get named. We’re the generative engine optimization agency that works to make one of them you.

We do it with earned signals, not hacks. You can’t “rank” in a model — you raise the probability it knows your brand and treats it as the right answer. That’s a slow, compounding play, and we’ll be honest about the timeline. Anyone promising you a guaranteed ChatGPT citation is selling something they can’t deliver.

// what a GEO agency actually does

You can’t “rank”
in a generative model

A generative engine optimization agency doesn’t optimize a page to rank. It builds the inputs a model learns from, so when the model writes an answer about your category, your brand is in it. That means mentions in authoritative sources, presence in the channels models retrieve from, and content that’s genuinely worth citing.

GEO vs SEO vs AEO

SEO

Rank a page in a list of results. The foundation everything else builds on, and still where most organic traffic comes from.

AEO

GEO

Get cited when a model writes the answer from scratch. Earned brand signals, compounding over time. That’s this page.

What we run for you

01

Brand-signal building via PR & earned media

The associations generative models internalize come from authoritative sources mentioning you. We build those mentions systematically — real placements, not link farms selling "GEO spots."

02

Content in the sources models retrieve from

Models with live retrieval pull from Reddit, Quora, YouTube and recent articles. We earn genuine presence there — participation, not astroturfing, which models are getting better at discounting.

03

Structured, citable content & entities

Clear, well-structured content and consistent entity signals make your brand easier for a model to attribute correctly. Good structure is best practice; here it raises your odds of being cited.

04

Original research, tools & assets

Genuinely useful research, calculators and tools attract organic citations that compound — the kind of "citation gravity" a generative engine notices over time.

How we earn citations in
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude & Perplexity

Generative models cite brands they’ve seen mentioned, framed well, in sources they trust — and brands present in the live content they retrieve. Our thesis is the same one that runs through everything we do: brand signals beat keyword tricks.

So we build the supply: real PR and earned media, genuine participation in the communities models read, and citable assets that compound. No hacks, because hacks get detected and discounted.

  • [✓]Mentions in sources the models trust.
  • [✓]Presence in the live content they retrieve.
  • [✓]Assets worth citing, built to compound.

// who this is built for

GEO for
B2B & SaaS

B2B and SaaS buyers increasingly start research inside an assistant: “best tool for X,” “X vs Y,” “which platform for a remote team.” If the model names competitors and not you, you’re losing high-intent prospects before they ever hit your site.

That’s our home turf. We focus on B2B and SaaS because the “best X for Y” and “X vs Y” query patterns that generative engines love map directly onto how these buyers actually decide.

What GEO
is NOT

Generative search is the most over-sold corner of marketing right now. Here’s what we won’t do — even though others charge for it.

  • × "LLM-optimized rewrites"

    Running your pages through a model and adding schema is not GEO. There is no secret content format that makes a generative engine prefer you.

  • × Proprietary "AI visibility scores"

    There is no standardized way to measure generative-search visibility. Anyone selling their score as the industry standard is overselling. We report what the engines actually say, not a made-up number.

  • × Guaranteed citations

    Nobody controls a model's output. We can raise the probability you get cited; we cannot promise it. Any agency guaranteeing a ChatGPT citation is selling you something it can't deliver.

  • × Astroturfing for fast wins

    Fake reviews and manufactured mentions might spike short-term visibility, then get discounted or penalized as detection improves. We build the real thing because it lasts.

GEO FAQ

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)? +
Generative engine optimization is the work of getting your brand cited and recommended when a generative AI model — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — composes an answer from scratch. Unlike ranking a page, you can't directly "rank" in a model; you raise the probability it knows your brand and treats it as relevant by building the signals it learns from. For the full conceptual primer, see our guide on how to do AIO and AEO.
What does a GEO agency actually do? +
A generative engine optimization agency builds the inputs models learn from: brand mentions in authoritative sources through PR and earned media, genuine presence in the channels models retrieve from (Reddit, Quora, recent press), structured and citable content, and original assets that attract citations. It is not a magic format or a proprietary score — it is the patient work of becoming worth citing.
How is GEO different from AEO and traditional SEO? +
Traditional SEO ranks a page in a list of results. Answer engine optimization (AEO) gets you lifted into a direct answer like a snippet or AI Overview. Generative engine optimization (GEO) gets you cited when a model writes the answer itself. They share a foundation and reinforce each other — and none of them replaces Google, which still drives most organic traffic.
Can you guarantee my brand gets cited by ChatGPT or Gemini? +
No — and be wary of anyone who does. No agency controls what a generative model outputs. What we can do is meaningfully raise the probability your brand is known, framed well, and present in the sources these models pull from. We work in probabilities and report honestly on what changes, not in guarantees.
How long does generative engine optimization take to work? +
GEO is a patient, compounding play, not a quick win. Building the brand signals and earned mentions that move generative answers is a multi-month effort, and authority builds slowly for a newer brand. Some signals show up faster than others; we set expectations honestly up front rather than promising a timeline we can't control.
Is GEO worth it for B2B and SaaS companies? +
Often, yes — B2B and SaaS buyers increasingly ask assistants for "best tool for X" and "X vs Y" comparisons during research, and being cited in those answers reaches high-intent prospects early. It is most worth it when you already have a real web presence and a solid SEO foundation. If you're pre-product-market-fit or brand new, we'll tell you it's probably too early.
