What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the practice of optimizing websites and content to rank highly in AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Google AI Overviews. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on link-building and keywords, GEO makes AI systems recommend your business through proprietary optimization techniques.

How fast can you rank a business on AI search engines?

We've taken businesses from zero AI visibility to being cited by Claude, Gemini, and Grok in as little as 3 weeks. Results vary based on industry competition and existing web presence, but most clients see measurable AI search visibility within 30 days.

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search results like Google's blue links. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on being cited and recommended by AI systems. SEO uses keywords and backlinks; GEO uses structured data, authoritative content, schema markup, and AI-readable formatting. Both are important, but GEO is becoming critical as AI search grows.

How much does AI web development and GEO cost?

Our website builds start at $2,500 as a one-time investment, which includes a fully AI-optimized website with GEO foundations. Ongoing GEO optimization and growth services start at $350/month, which includes continuous AI search monitoring, content optimization, and ranking improvements.

AI Visibility Checker: Is Your Business Showing Up in AI Search?

The Problem Most Businesses Don't Know They Have

Right now, potential customers are asking AI assistants about your industry. They're asking ChatGPT for recommendations. They're asking Claude for comparisons. They're asking Perplexity for the best options in their area.

Is your business showing up in those answers?

For most businesses, the answer is no. And they don't even realize it because they're only tracking Google rankings.

How to Check Your AI Visibility

Here's a simple test you can run right now. Open each AI platform and ask these questions, replacing the brackets with your info:

Test Queries

1. "What is [your business name]?" — Does it know you exist?

2. "Best [your service] in [your city]" — Are you recommended?

3. "Compare [your business] vs [competitor]" — What does it say?

4. "[Your service] near [your location]" — Do you appear?

5. "Tell me about [your industry] options in [your area]" — Are you included?

Why You're Not Showing Up

If AI models don't mention your business, it's usually because of one or more of these issues:

1. No Structured Data

Your website doesn't have JSON-LD schema markup, so AI models can't easily parse your business information.

2. No llms.txt

You don't have an llms.txt file — the AI equivalent of robots.txt — that provides structured business data to AI crawlers.

3. Low Authority

Few other websites mention or link to you, so AI models don't consider you authoritative enough to recommend.

4. Inconsistent Information

Your business name, address, or services differ across platforms, confusing AI models about who you are.

5. Thin Content

Your website doesn't have enough detailed, factual content for AI models to understand your expertise.

How to Fix It

The good news: AI visibility is fixable, and often faster than traditional SEO improvements.
