Mission Overview: Our GEO Methodology

AI engines are the new gatekeepers of information. To ensure your brand is recommended, not overlooked, we’ve developed a proven methodology for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).

Semantic Ecosystem Audit

We begin by analyzing your brand’s semantic footprint. This includes the web of ideas, queries, and associations that define how AI engines “understand” you.

  • Identify the searches and conversational queries most relevant to your business.
  • Benchmark your positioning against competitors to uncover gaps and strengths.
  • Pinpoint the key concepts, phrases, and clusters that AI engines use to categorize your expertise.
This audit gives us the blueprint for how your brand is represented in the evolving AI knowledge space.

Source Mapping

AI engines are trained on a wide range of sources, but some publications and platforms hold more weight than others. We map out the influential content hubs that shape how generative AI perceives authority:

  • Targeting high-authority media outlets in your industry.
  • Identifying e-PR opportunities that reinforce your credibility.
  • Highlighting the publications and domains AI models frequently reference.
By aligning your brand with these sources, we ensure your expertise is recognized where it matters most.

Editorial Strategy for AI

Unlike traditional SEO, GEO requires content that is both machine-readable and human-friendly. We create a dedicated editorial strategy that bridges the two:

  • Developing external PR placements to boost visibility in authoritative spaces.
  • Producing onsite content that’s structured and optimized for AI summarization.
  • Building semantic clusters that interconnect your communication, ensuring AI sees a coherent, trusted narrative.
This strategy positions your brand not only as an option but as the preferred recommendation.

Visibility Reports

Measuring GEO success requires a different lens than traditional SEO. We track how, where, and when AI engines reference your brand, including:

  • Monitoring mentions and recommendations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, and others.
  • Reporting on the context in which your brand appears (e.g. product comparisons, informational answers, industry insights).
  • Identifying new opportunities to strengthen and expand your presence in generative search results.
These insights ensure you stay visible and competitive within the AI-driven landscape.

Continuous Optimization

Generative AI evolves rapidly, with new models, features, and behaviors emerging every month. That’s why GEO is never a one-off project but rather a continuous journey. We:

  • Adapt strategies as AI models update and retrain.
  • Test and refine approaches to stay ahead of competitors.
  • Keep your brand at the cutting edge of AI SEO and generative search visibility.
This ongoing optimization ensures your brand remains discoverable, trustworthy, and future-proof.

GEO vs SEO: Do You Need Both?

The short answer: yes. SEO and GEO work hand in hand, but they serve different purposes in today’s search ecosystem.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the foundation. It ensures that your website is:

  • Properly structured and indexed by search engines
  • Optimized to rank for high-value keywords
  • Credible in the eyes of Google through backlinks and content authority

Without SEO, your site won’t perform in traditional search results and you’ll miss out on the traffic that still flows through Google and Bing every day.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the frontier. It focuses on how AI-driven engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and DeepSeek interpret and recommend your brand. GEO makes sure:

  • Your business is clearly represented in AI training data and content ecosystems
  • Optimized to rank for high-value keywords
  • Credible in the eyes of Google through backlinks and content authority

Without SEO, your site won’t perform in traditional search results and you’ll miss out on the traffic that still flows through Google and Bing every day.

Together, SEO and GEO create a complete visibility strategy.

SEO ensures people find you through traditional search.GEO ensures AI engines trust and recommend you in conversational search.

Brands that adopt both dominate discovery across platforms, ensuring their presence is future-proof in both human and AI search.
