How we work on AI search optimization in San Diego

GEO starts with knowing what AI says about you today. Before we touch anything, we ask each engine about your sector and check whether it names you, who it recommends and where it gets its information.

  1. 01

    AI visibility audit

    The starting point, in writing: answers you are in, answers where your brand is missing and the sources AI used for each one.

  2. 02

    Question research

    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.

  3. 03

    Content AI can cite

    AI cites what it can summarize without getting it wrong. We turn your pages into direct answers, with your own figures and the name of whoever stands behind them.

  4. 04

    Structured data and brand

    We make it clear who you are, what you do and where. It sounds minor, but it is the most common fault when an assistant describes a company badly.

  5. 05

    Mentions in the sources AI consults

    We work to get your brand talked about in the media, comparison articles and directories that engines draw their recommendations from.

  6. 06

    Tracking mentions and citations

    Month by month we track which answers you appear in, which links cite you and what visits and inquiries arrive from AI.

From absent in AI answers to first recommendation

More and more people ask AI before they search. It makes no difference if the question is about a math tutor in San Diego, a gaming laptop or luggage storage in New York. AI names a few companies and the rest go unmentioned.

  1. We ask each assistant about your sector and save the answers.
  2. We rewrite the pages that should answer those questions.
  3. We make your company details match on your website and your profiles.
  4. We work to get the press and listings in your sector to cite you.

Illustrative simulation. AI answers change every time a question is asked and nobody can guarantee a specific recommendation.

Our GEO method, step by step

  1. 01

    First call

    You tell us by video call what you sell and to whom, and we prepare the questions we are going to track.

  2. 02

    Diagnosis

    We work out why it recommends others: what their websites have and where they are mentioned. Out comes a task list, in order.

  3. 03

    Delivery

    Content, structured data and media mentions, month by month, with tasks you know about in advance.

  4. 04

    Measurement

    Same questions, same method, every month. We show you the new answers next to the old ones.

Talk to the team
What is GEO, or generative engine optimization?

GEO stands for generative engine optimization. It is the work of getting assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, and the AI results in Google, to name and recommend your company when someone asks about what you sell. You will also see it called AI SEO or AI search optimization.

What is the difference between GEO and SEO?

With SEO you aim to appear near the top of the results page. With GEO you aim to be included in the answer an assistant writes. They are different jobs resting on the same things: a good website, good content and other people speaking well of you.

Do you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my company?

We cannot, and nor can anyone else. OpenAI, Google and the rest decide how their models answer, and those answers vary each time. Our commitment is to the work and to honest measurement: the same questions every month, with the results in front of you.

How do you know what AI says about my company?

By asking it. We prepare a list of questions from your sector, put them to each engine several times and save the answers. That shows us what repeats and what was a one-off. The same list is run again every month, so the comparison is fair.

Do I need to change my website to do GEO?

You rarely have to rebuild it. The usual work is rewriting some pages, adding the ones that are missing and marking up your data properly. We only propose a new website when the current one is hard for search engines and AI crawlers to read.

Do I need SEO for GEO to work?

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.
