Can ChatGPT find
your business?

Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations — and those engines cite only a handful of sources. AI Search Readiness is a fixed-scope audit and implementation that makes your business one of them.

The short answer

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your content and trust signals so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews — cite and recommend your business. It rewards quotable answers, original data, clean schema, and a consistent, credible brand entity over a wall of links.

01Why it matters now

Search is being answered, not just listed.

01

Buyers ask AI before they ask Google

A growing share of buyers now open ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini and ask for a recommendation in plain language — long before they ever scroll a list of blue links. If the answer doesn't include you, you were never in the room.

02

AI answers cite only a handful of sources

Where a search page shows ten results, an AI answer synthesizes a single response from just a few sources it trusts. Being on page one isn't enough anymore — you have to be one of the sources the model reaches for.

03

Quotable, structured, trusted wins

AI engines favour content they can lift cleanly: direct answers, clear definitions, original data, FAQs, and machine-readable schema — published by an entity they recognize as consistent and credible. That's exactly what we build.

02What we do

A fixed-scope AI Search Readiness engagement.

  • 01

    AI-crawler access + llms.txt

    Robots rules that explicitly welcome AI crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and more), plus an llms.txt that hands the engines a clean map of what you do and where to find it.

  • 02

    Full schema stack

    Organization, Service, FAQPage, and Article schema wired site-wide so AI engines can parse who you are, what you offer, and the answers you've published — not guess.

  • 03

    Quotable answers, statistics & FAQs

    Direct, liftable answers at the top of key pages, original or attributed data points, and real buyer-question FAQs — written to be quoted verbatim inside an AI answer.

  • 04

    Entity & brand-mention strategy

    A plan to make your brand a consistent, recognizable entity across the web — consistent NAP, profile alignment, and mentions on sources AI models already trust.

  • 05

    GEO monitoring (recurring add-on)

    Ongoing tracking of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews answer the questions that matter to your business — with a short monthly report and next moves.

Self-assessment

How AI-ready is your site?

Run down the list. Every “no” is a reason an AI engine reaches for a competitor instead of you.

  • 01Is there a direct, quotable answer in the first paragraph of your key pages?
  • 02Do those pages carry FAQ schema with real buyer questions?
  • 03Is your Organization and Service schema valid and site-wide?
  • 04Do you publish an llms.txt that maps your offering for AI engines?
  • 05Does your robots configuration explicitly allow AI crawlers?
  • 06Is your NAP (name, address, phone) identical everywhere it appears?
  • 07Is your brand a consistent, recognizable entity across third-party sources?
  • 08Do you publish original data, examples, or specifics — not generic filler?
  • 09Are your most important answers structured as headings and lists, not buried in prose?
  • 10Have you actually checked how ChatGPT or Perplexity answers questions in your category?

GEO, answered.

What is GEO?
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — is the practice of structuring your content and signals so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews cite and recommend you. It rewards quotable answers, original data, schema, and a trusted, consistent brand entity.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO competes to rank a page in a list of links. GEO competes to be one of the few sources an AI engine pulls into a single synthesized answer. They overlap — good technical SEO helps both — but GEO leans harder on quotable, structured, statistic-backed content and entity trust.
How do I get recommended by ChatGPT?
Be quotable and be trusted. Publish clear direct answers and FAQs, back claims with original or attributed data, mark everything up with schema, keep your brand entity consistent across the web, and make sure AI crawlers are allowed to read your site. That's the work we do in an AI Search Readiness engagement.
How long does it take?
The fixed-scope audit and core implementation typically wraps in a few weeks. Getting consistently cited by AI engines is an ongoing effort, though — entity trust and mentions build over time, which is why many clients add recurring GEO monitoring.
