What it is

What Generative Engine Optimization Means for a Local Business

Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is the work of optimizing your online presence for AI engines such as ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity. Instead of returning a list of links, these engines answer a question directly, drawing on structured data, business listings and trusted content. When someone asks which dentist, roofer or accountant to call, the information an engine can find and trust about your business shapes what it says.

Some people call the same work AEO, answer engine optimization. It is best understood as the next evolution of SEO: it complements the rankings, Google Maps and content work you may already do and does not replace any of it. Nobody can guarantee a mention in an AI answer, and we do not promise one. What we can do is make the facts about your business accurate, consistent and structured the way these engines read them. Results improve over time as engines gather, validate and favor consistent information.

What GEO includes

What Our GEO Services Include

Structured data and schema

Markup engines can read

Key pages get Review, LocalBusiness and FAQ schema markup, so an engine can read your business details as structured facts.

Listings that agree

Name, address and phone

Conflicting listings are found and fixed, so your details read the same on Google, Apple Maps, Yelp and beyond.

Conversational local content

Written for the questions people ask

We publish conversational, hyper-local content that answers the questions people put to assistants about your services.

Reviews and reputation

What customers say

Review volume and sentiment both get read by AI engines, so reputation work is part of the plan.

Technical foundation

SEO underneath

A clean technical base lets search engines and AI engines read your pages without trouble.

Testing across AI engines

Tested every month

Each month we test your visibility across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, and reporting covers AI visibility, citations, platform traffic, knowledge panels and local rankings.

None of this stands alone: it is part of Organic Growth, with local SEO and Google Maps work beside it and a managed website on Gold and Platinum. Paid campaigns on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Bing and Google are available separately for faster leads.

Names and neighbors

GEO, AEO and AI Search Optimization: Same Idea, Different Names

You will hear generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization and AI search optimization used almost interchangeably. They all describe preparing a business for engines that answer questions directly. We use GEO since it is the name most of our clients meet first.

ChatGPT ads are a different thing. They are a paid test: sponsored, labeled ads shown to some users on the Free and lower-priced plans, bought through a self-serve Ads Manager and targeted by country and context rather than by keyword. Measurement is still maturing, and the ads do not change the answers. GEO is the unpaid work of making accurate information about your business easy for engines to use.

The process

How GEO Works, Start to Finish

Start with an audit
We check your NAP details and your website details across Google, Apple Maps, Yelp and the other sources AI engines pull from, so everything matches.
Structure your pages
We implement schema markup on your most important pages: Review, LocalBusiness and FAQ markup, so AI engines can read your details as structured facts.
Answer the questions
We create local content in a conversational tone that responds to the questions customers put to assistants about your services and the places you serve.
Measure and adjust
Every month we run tests of your visibility across Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT, then adapt the work to what we find. You see local rankings, AI visibility, citations, knowledge panels and platform traffic.

Questions

GEO Services: Frequently Asked Questions

How much do GEO services cost?

GEO is not sold on its own. It is included in every Organic Growth plan: Silver at $1,495 a month, Gold at $2,495 and Platinum at $3,495. Each plan also includes RankGuarantee™ landing pages, and Gold and Platinum add a fully managed, custom-built website. There is no setup fee and no contract.

What is the difference between GEO, AEO and AI search optimization?

In practice, very little. All three describe preparing your business for engines that answer questions directly, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The work relies on structured data, accurate business listings and trusted content.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will mention my business?

No, and nobody honestly can. We make your business information accurate, consistent and well structured, and we test your visibility across Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and ChatGPT every month. Results improve over time as engines gather, validate and favor consistent information, and we do not give a timeframe.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. GEO complements SEO, and both come with Organic Growth. Technical SEO is part of the GEO work, and the consistent data, strong pages and reviews that help you in search also give AI engines more to draw on. See Organic Growth for the full plans.

Is GEO the same as advertising on ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT ads are a separate paid test: sponsored, labeled ads shown to some users on the Free and lower-priced plans. GEO is the unpaid work of making accurate information about your business available to AI engines.

What does the work include?

Schema and structured data (LocalBusiness, Review and FAQ schema), consistent name, address and phone details across Google, Apple Maps, Yelp and more, conversational hyper-local content, reviews and reputation work, technical SEO, and monitoring across Perplexity, ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Reporting covers knowledge panels, citations, AI visibility, platform traffic and local rankings.

We have several locations. Does GEO still work?

It tends to help multi-location businesses most, because AI tools need consistent, verified data to recommend a service locally. Our county index shows how many established businesses compete in each market.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Plans are month to month with no contract and no setup fee, and pricing is flat. We also take one business per category per city.
