Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

Show Up When ChatGPT Answers

The search landscape has shifted from links and keywords to language models and direct answers. We position your brand where LLMs think, speak, and cite—so you're remembered long after search results disappear.

The Problem is Invisible

67%

of searches now result in zero clicks to websites.

While you're optimizing for search engines, your audience is getting answers directly from AI models. If your brand isn't being cited by ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you're invisible in the new search paradigm.

2

Content Architecture

We restructure your content for maximum extractability using definition blocks, summaries, and structured data.

3

Concept Authority

We establish your brand as the definitive source on key topics through comprehensive coverage and expert positioning.

4

Citation Engineering
