Generative Engine Optimisation

Get Named, Cited And Recommended By The AI Tools Your Buyers Now Use First

Over a third of buyers now start their research on ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews instead of typing into a search box. GEO is how your business earns a mention in the answer they get back.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimisation, Explained

GEO is the practice of optimising your digital presence so that AI-powered platforms include your brand in the answers they generate — rather than simply linking to your website in a list of results.

💬 ChatGPT

Optimising for brand mentions and product/service recommendations inside ChatGPT's web-browsing and search answers.

🔮 Perplexity

Earning citations in Perplexity's sourced answers, where every claim links back to a specific page.

✨ Google AI Overviews

Appearing inside the AI-generated summary that now sits above traditional organic results on Google.

🧭 Bing Copilot

Being surfaced as a cited source within Microsoft's Copilot answers, which draw heavily on Bing's index.
