SEO & GEO

AI visibility (GEO): so that AI assistants know and name you

AI visibility and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): clear facts, structured data and good answers, so that AI assistants know your business.

SEO & GEO

GEO & AI visibility: what is it exactly?

AI visibility means that a business appears in the answers of AI assistants and AI search and is described correctly. This includes chat assistants such as ChatGPT, AI search tools such as Perplexity and the AI Overviews in Google. It is also called GEO, Generative Engine Optimization.

These systems generate answers from many sources. They favour pages that state facts clearly, are well organised, answer questions directly and contain details that are confirmed elsewhere. This largely overlaps with good SEO, but has priorities of its own.

Background

GEO & AI visibility: why it matters.

More and more people ask an assistant instead of searching in the traditional way. These systems rely on websites that supply facts clearly, in a structured way and without contradiction.

What is good for people and for traditional search engines usually helps here too: unambiguous information, a clean structure, real answers to real questions.

Overview

GEO & AI visibility: building blocks and variants.

Facts page

A compact overview of your business, services, location, prices and contact details.

Answer content

Questions that customers ask, with a short, direct answer right at the start.

Structured data

Machine-readable information about your business, services and frequently asked questions.

llms.txt

A compact text file as a guide for AI systems. An addition, not a substitute for good content.

Consistency

The same details on your website, Google profile, directories and social media.

Trust signals

Author, date, sources, a recognisable business and real contacts.

Access for crawlers

The site may be read by search systems and is technically sound.

Our work

GEO & AI visibility: what we do for you.

Facts page

A clear overview: who you are, what you offer, where, since when, and how people can reach you.

Structured data

Machine-readable information about your business, services, questions and answers.

Answer-focused content

Questions that customers really ask, with short, precise answers right at the start.

Consistent details

Name, address, services and contact details the same everywhere.

Technical accessibility

Allow crawlers, a clean page structure, and a compact overview file (llms.txt) as an extra.

Trust signals

Author, date, sources and a recognisable person or company behind the content.

Quality

GEO & AI visibility: how to recognise good work.

  • A facts page describes your business and services unambiguously
  • Important questions are answered briefly
  • Structured data is in place and free of errors
  • The robots.txt does not block AI and search crawlers by accident
  • Details are the same everywhere
  • Content carries an author and a date
  • You regularly check what assistants say about you
Costs

GEO & AI visibility: what it costs.

Getting started is manageable, because much of it builds on good website work. The effort goes into reviewing what exists, the facts page, answer content and regular checks.

The calculation behind it: how we price our work.

What determines the price

  • Review of the current situation (what do assistants know about you?)
  • Setting up the facts page and structured data
  • Number of answer content items
  • technical adjustments
  • regular checks

What you can prepare

  • A list of the questions customers often ask you
  • All valid business details in one place
  • Access to your website and Google profile
  • Examples of how competitors appear in AI answers
Pitfalls

GEO & AI visibility: common mistakes.

  • Promises such as “guaranteed in ChatGPT”
  • Content written for search terms instead of for questions
  • AI services’ crawlers blocked unintentionally
  • contradictory details on different pages
Frequently asked questions

Questions about GEO & AI visibility.

Can anyone guarantee that an AI will name my business?

No. Nobody can promise that in good faith. We lay the foundations so that you can be found and cited correctly, and we check the result regularly.

What is an llms.txt?

A text file that gives AI systems a compact overview of your site. It is a proposal from practice, not a binding standard, and does not replace good content.

What is the difference from SEO?

SEO aims at rankings in search engines. GEO aims at AI systems naming you correctly in generated answers. Both build on clear, well-structured content.

Can I check whether I am being named?

Yes, by asking typical questions to several assistants and documenting the answers. That is part of our monitoring.

Do you guarantee that I will appear in ChatGPT?

No. We lay the foundations and check the results. Whether and how a system names someone is the system’s decision.
