GEO, short for generative engine optimization, is the work of getting AI assistants to name your company in their answers. We do it for businesses in Saanich, so that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google mention you when someone asks about what you sell.

Some 120,000 people live in Saanich. It is in British Columbia. There are 13 cities in British Columbia with their own page here.
When AI cannot find details about a local business, it recommends one from elsewhere. A few clear pages, a well-kept business profile and recent reviews change that answer. We work from Murcia, in Spain, usually 9 hours ahead of Saanich. Meetings are by video call and in English. Nearby, we also cover Victoria, Delta and Richmond.

GEO, sector by sector
When someone asks ChatGPT for a dentist they can trust in Saanich, the answer comes from reviews, health directories and your own website. We put all three in order.
AI gets asked about neighbourhoods, prices and agencies people can trust. Good area guides, written with your own data, make you a source it can quote.
With the car broken down, people ask in a hurry. If AI finds your services, opening hours and reviews neatly laid out, it is more likely to include you in the answer.
The first job is to listen. We put the questions your customer would ask to each assistant and note which companies come up and which pages it uses as sources.
We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google what your customer would ask, and we measure if you appear, how you are described and who gets recommended in your place.
People do not write to AI the way they type into Google. They use long sentences with context, and you need to know which ones your customers use.
We rewrite your key pages with clear answers, your own data and a structure that engines can read and use as a source.
Name, address, services and opening hours, the same everywhere. If every site says something different, AI hesitates and names someone else.
AI recommends whoever it sees recommended. We aim to get you into the articles, lists and publications it uses as references in your sector.
We repeat the same questions every month and compare. That way you see, with screenshots, which answers you have won and which are still pending.
Someone asking about a dentist in Saanich or a real estate agency in Saanich does not get pages of results. They get a short reply with a few company names in it. The simulation here follows one company from absent to first recommendation.
Illustrative simulation. AI answers change every time a question is asked and nobody can guarantee a specific recommendation.
We put your customer's questions to each assistant and save the answers.
We decide with you which questions to go after first and what has to change on the website to win them.
We prepare the pages AI needs in order to talk about you and work on your presence in the places it consults.
We review mentions, links and visits from AI, and decide the next step with you.

Talk to the teamNo. AI answers change from one run to the next and nobody outside controls them. What we do is raise the number of times you appear and prove it to you with the saved answers from each month, set next to the earlier ones.
Yes. We are based in Murcia, Spain, and work with clients abroad remotely, in English, by video call. You do not need to be in a place to ask AI about its businesses. Each month you receive the report with the answers and the tasks completed.
We ask the questions a customer would ask, many times and on different days, because AI does not always answer the same way. From that set of answers comes a dependable figure for how often you appear, and you can read every saved answer yourself.
Yes. Visits that come from ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini can be separated out in your website analytics. We show them to you each month alongside the mentions, so you can see whether being named is turning into visits and inquiries.
It can be corrected, though not overnight. AI repeats what it finds, so the source of the error has to be fixed and the correct fact reinforced on your website and your profiles. With assistants that answer from training, the old version can linger until the model is updated.
It helps a great deal. Several assistants run a web search before they answer, so a website that ranks well in Google or Bing has more chance of being cited. That is why we usually work on the two together.
Leave us your website and we will tell you what AI knows about your brand, what it is missing and where we would start.
