AI Search Optimization

Be The Business AI Recommends

When someone asks ChatGPT, Google AI, or Perplexity “Who’s the best {your service} near me?” — your business should be the answer. That’s what Generative Engine Optimization does.

AI search has already reduced organic traffic 30-45% for local service businesses. The ones who adapt now will own their market. The ones who wait will wonder where their leads went.

The Problem

AI Is Answering Questions Instead of Sending People to Your Website

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are replacing the clicks your business used to get. Here's what's happening.

30-45%

Traffic Loss

Local service businesses are losing up to 45% of their organic traffic to AI-generated answers that never link to their website.

2-7

Brands Cited

AI models only recommend 2-7 businesses per query. If you're not one of them, you're invisible to a growing share of your market.

FAQ

Common Questions About GEO

How is GEO different from the SEO you already offer?+
SEO gets you ranked on Google's traditional search results. GEO gets you recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. They use different signals — GEO focuses on authority signals, structured data, citation frequency, and review sentiment. Many businesses need both, and they complement each other. We offer GEO as a standalone service or as an add-on to any SEO package.
Can I add GEO to my existing SEO plan?+
Yes. GEO works best alongside traditional SEO because many of the authority signals overlap. If you're already on one of our SEO packages, we can add GEO services at any tier. Contact us and we'll build a combined package.
How long until I see results from GEO?+
Most clients see initial visibility improvements within 90 days. Significant citation frequency increases typically occur by month 6. GEO is a long-term strategy that compounds — the longer you invest, the stronger your AI recommendations become.
Which AI platforms does GEO target?+
We optimize for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews (formerly SGE), Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. The specific platforms monitored depend on your plan tier.
Can you guarantee my business will be recommended by ChatGPT?+
No — and any agency that guarantees specific AI recommendations is being dishonest. What we guarantee is a data-driven strategy that systematically builds every signal AI models use to decide which businesses to recommend. Our process is based on how these models actually work, not guesswork.
Is GEO only for tech companies?+
Not at all. GEO is especially powerful for local service businesses — landscapers, roofers, contractors, restaurants, salons, medical practices. These are exactly the businesses people ask AI about: 'Who's the best landscaper near me?' If you serve local customers, GEO is built for you.
