Generative engine optimisation · UK
Be the answer they trust.
Strengthen the facts, source pages and evidence answer engines need to understand and cite your business—then test the commercial questions your buyers actually ask.
See where answer engines overlook your business.
Send your website, the products or services you most want recommended and the questions buyers ask before choosing. We will scope a useful baseline, the source gaps and the smallest credible first move.
- Baseline
- before recommendations are made
- Named queries
- tied to buyer decisions
- No promises
- platform citations stay outside our control
Start with the real blocker.
Four signs the current setup is costing time, enquiries or confidence:
Your business disappears from AI-generated shortlists
A buyer can ask for the best-fit supplier, product or service and receive a useful shortlist without opening a conventional search result. If your expertise is unclear or unsupported, your business may never enter that answer.
Your strongest evidence is buried
Case studies, certifications, technical capability and first-hand experience may exist, but not in a form an answer engine can reliably connect to the service or question being researched.
Your facts conflict across the web
Different service descriptions, locations, company details and claims create ambiguity. Answer engines need consistent entities and verifiable facts before they can treat a business as a useful source.
Nobody has established a baseline
A few manual ChatGPT searches are not a strategy. Without an agreed query set, source review and referral tracking, it is impossible to tell what changed or whether the work is commercially useful.
A clear scope, written down.
The exact mix depends on the problem, but these are the practical parts we can own:
Commercial question map
Research the comparison, recommendation, specification and problem-led questions your buyers are likely to ask an answer engine
AI answer baseline
Record which brands and sources appear for an agreed query set before implementation starts
Entity and fact consistency
Align services, locations, credentials, people and company information across the site and relevant external profiles
Citation-ready source pages
Strengthen service, capability, case-study, comparison and expert-answer pages with clear claims and visible supporting evidence
Technical and structured access
Check crawlability, rendering, canonical signals, internal links, structured data and machine-readable summaries without weakening SEO
Evidence and authority plan
Identify the original data, specialist experience, customer proof and credible third-party mentions that can make your pages worth sourcing
- Answer-format content, Write concise definitions, comparisons and decision guidance around genuine buyer questions instead of publishing generic AI-written volume
- Citation and referral measurement, Repeat the agreed tests, review cited sources and track identifiable visits from answer engines alongside useful on-site actions

GEO needs something worth citing
The strongest work starts with real capability, specific evidence and buyer questions that match the market. These are useful examples of the commercial context we can build around.
A shape you can plan around.
Baseline.
We agree the buyer questions, test current answers, record the cited sources and check analytics for identifiable AI referrals.
Strengthen.
We fix ambiguous facts, thin evidence, technical access and weak source pages in the order most likely to improve trust and usefulness.
Publish.
We create or improve the expert answers, comparisons, capabilities and case-study evidence the market actually needs.
Measure.
We repeat the agreed tests, inspect changing sources and report citations, referrals and useful actions without pretending they are conventional rankings.
Know the cost and first priorities.
Start with a fixed GEO audit and opportunity map from £1,500. Focused implementation starts from £2,500 once the priority questions and source gaps are clear. Ongoing testing, content improvement and reporting starts from £750 per month when the query set warrants it.
From £1,500

Things people ask before starting.
01What is generative engine optimisation?
Generative engine optimisation, usually shortened to GEO, is the work of making a business and its evidence easier for AI answer engines to understand, source and cite. It combines clear entity information, useful source pages, technical accessibility, structured data, original evidence and repeatable testing.
02How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO primarily targets visibility and clicks in traditional search results. GEO targets inclusion and citations inside generated answers. They share foundations such as crawlable pages, topical clarity and authority, but GEO also needs question-level testing, source analysis and evidence written in formats an answer can use.
03Is GEO the same as building AI agents?
No. GEO helps your business become a useful source in AI-generated research. AI agents automate work inside or around your business. Agent readiness makes website actions and data safely discoverable to software agents. They solve different problems.
04Can you guarantee that ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews will cite us?
No. No agency controls an answer engine, its index or the sources selected for a particular response. We can improve the clarity, evidence and accessibility of your business, track an agreed query set and report what changes, but we will not guarantee a citation.
05Which answer engines do you review?
We choose the platforms around the audience and use case. That can include ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or AI Mode, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini. Coverage may change as products and access change, so the agreed scope names the engines we will test.
06Do we need SEO before GEO?
Usually you need the same basic foundation: accessible pages, clear services, trustworthy evidence and a technically sound site. If indexing, canonicalisation or page quality is weak, ordinary SEO work may be the more valuable first step. GEO then adds answer-specific research, source development and measurement.
07How do you measure GEO?
We establish a fixed set of commercial questions, record whether the brand appears, capture the sources used and repeat the tests consistently. We also track identifiable referral traffic from answer engines and the calls, forms or other useful actions that follow. Results are directional because generated answers can vary.
08What content works best for GEO?
Useful definitions, original data, expert comparisons, detailed service or capability pages, named case studies and clear answers to real buyer questions give an engine something worth sourcing. Generic articles that repeat what already exists rarely create a durable reason to cite your business.
09How long does GEO take?
A baseline and opportunity map can usually be completed in two to four weeks. Whether citations change after implementation depends on crawling, the strength of the evidence, competition and the answer engine itself. We normally judge progress over months, not days.
10Can you improve an existing website?
Yes. Most GEO work starts on an existing site. If the current platform prevents clean indexing, structured data, strong source pages or reliable measurement, we will explain the constraint before recommending a rebuild.
