The starting point

What is getting
in the way?

Start with the thing that costs you time, enquiries or confidence. We shape the work around it.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

How it happens

From a conversation
to working properly.

  1. 01

    Baseline

    We agree the buyer questions, test current answers, record the cited sources and check analytics for identifiable AI referrals.

  2. 02

    Strengthen

    We fix ambiguous facts, thin evidence, technical access and weak source pages in the order most likely to improve trust and usefulness.

  3. 03

    Publish

    We create or improve the expert answers, comparisons, capabilities and case-study evidence the market actually needs.

  4. 04

    Measure

    We repeat the agreed tests, inspect changing sources and report citations, referrals and useful actions without pretending they are conventional rankings.

Cost and commitment

Invest in the work.

Before you decide

Good questions.
Straight answers.

What 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.

How 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.

Is 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.

Can 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.

Which 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.

Do 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.

How 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.

What 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.

How 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.

Can 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.

better for you?
