Generative engine optimization (GEO)

Be the brand AI brings into the shortlist

When an AI answer shapes a buyer's first shortlist, your brand needs more than a mention. We strengthen the evidence that helps systems understand what you do, when you fit and why a buyer should keep considering you.

Why this matters now

Buyers are choosing vendors before they visit your site

G2's 2026 research found that 69% of B2B software buyers ended up choosing a different vendor than they originally planned, based on AI chatbot guidance, and a third bought from a brand they'd never heard of before. If AI systems don't represent you accurately, you may be losing shortlist consideration you never see.

03 / A clearer category

Not a mention tracker dressed up as a GEO strategy

A list of AI mentions cannot tell you whether the right buyer understands your category, fit and distinction. We work on the information environment that makes accurate representation more likely.

What's included

Strengthening how AI systems retrieve and represent your brand

01

Entity and positioning clarity

Consistent, accurate signals about your category, audience and differentiation, so AI systems don't have to guess.

02

Third-party authority

Strengthening the review platforms, comparison sites and industry sources that generative AI models draw on.

03

Citation-worthy content

Structuring evidence-backed, original content that gives AI systems something specific and credible to cite.

04

Representation monitoring

Tracking how AI platforms currently describe you, so inaccuracies can be identified and addressed.

What becomes visible

Turn AI representation into a checkable operating signal

We make the starting description, the relevant buyer questions and the credible source environment visible so accuracy can guide the next decision rather than become a vague score.

  1. 01

    Starting representation

    How important AI surfaces currently describe your category, fit, competitors and differentiators.

  2. 02

    Evidence gaps

    Which buyer questions, first-party claims and third-party sources leave AI systems with an incomplete picture.

  3. 03

    Next decision

    What to clarify, validate or publish next to strengthen accurate shortlist consideration.

07 / Operator-led terms

AI-based leverage, with human-based accountability & judgement.

Dhanur Sehgal and Chandan Chaudhary lead the diagnosis, strategy and critical reviews. Before work begins, we put the result, baseline, evidence source, timeframe and shared responsibilities in writing.

  1. 01Operator-led diagnosis, strategy and critical review; no junior hand-off.
  2. 02An agreed starting point, evidence source and timeframe before execution begins.
  3. 03Scope and shared responsibilities written down before a result is judged.

08 / A good fit is specific

For brands buyers should recognise before a sales conversation

GEO is most useful for a B2B company with a real category, a meaningful difference and a research journey where AI answers can shape early consideration.

  1. 01A clear product, audience and category that can be described precisely
  2. 02A buying journey where comparisons, recommendations or alternatives matter
  3. 03Subject-matter expertise and proof that can make claims more credible
  4. 04A team willing to improve both owned information and third-party evidence

Questions before we start

Before we build, let’s be clear.

01How do you shape what AI systems say about us?

We strengthen the information, credibility and retrieval signals that help your brand be discovered and represented accurately. The work begins with agreed buyer questions, evidence sources and surfaces, so it is aimed at a measurable representation outcome.

02Which AI platforms do you monitor?

The right set depends on where your buyers research. We start with the surfaces and buyer questions that matter commercially instead of treating every prompt as equally valuable.

03What changes after an inaccurate AI answer is found?

We trace the likely information gap: positioning, source coverage, evidence, content or third-party validation. Then we prioritise the change that creates the strongest case for more accurate representation.

04How is GEO connected to SEO?

GEO is built on the same information and authority foundations. SEO makes your content and entities eligible to be found; GEO strengthens how that evidence is understood once it is retrieved.
