AI Answers Are The Future of Search
As Google is turning search result pages into AI-generated answers, businesses are struggling to remain findable. Additionally, the quick adoption of ChatGPT poses a threat to businesses that are not part of OpenAI training data.
Consumers are already using generative AI for product recommendations and brand discovery, and AI will soon be making final buying decisions on customers' behalf.
How to remain visible in AI-driven buying journeys?
While most traditional, long-term SEO signals are still at play here, the focus is shifting to AI-friendly tactics, like clear brand positioning, problem-solving content, AI-friendly content structuring, and more.
We are here to guide you through this evolution and ensure that you adjust your tactics and KPIs to the new buying journeys.

What do your GEO services include?
On case-by-case basis, our GEO services may include clear brand positioning strategy, on-site content strategy, branded SERP management, co-citation, strategic PR efforts, etc. The goal is to create digital footprint that associates you with relevant consumers’ problems and positions your site as the clear solution.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO is fundamental to creating well-defined digital footprint that can then become an effective AI training data. GEO just shifts priorities to a number of tactics (which were present before), like semantic research, brand knowledge content, strategic outreach, branded search management, etc.
How fast should I expect results from GEO services?
There are no shortcuts for GEO optimization, just like there are no shortcuts in SEO. The timeframe will rely on your current positioning and brand strength, budget and commitment. Plus, most current AI solutions (like ChatGPT and Claudia) are not to fast to catch up with new data.
The beauty of AI Optimization is that it provides long-term results. Once you are positioned in AI training data, you can only grow consistently from there.

How will the GEO strategy success be measured?
GEO is harder to measure than SEO because AI doesn’t send as many clicks with clear attribution. To measure success of our AI optimization strategy we will:
- Monitor your brand search growth
- Measure and monitor on your brand search impressions
- Use third-party tools to evaluate your AI positioning
- Track traffic from AI platforms
What is generative engine optimization?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is optimizing content, website structure and brand/product positioning to appear prominently in the answers generated by AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claudia, etc.
GEO prioritizes context and relevance over traditional keyword-focused approaches, and puts products and brands in clear, relevant context.
Is GEO replacing SEO?
Not at all. In fact, SEO (search engine optimization) is fundamental to GEO and both operate the same tactics. GEO prioritizes some of those tactics (like brand positioning, semantic analysis, etc.) but those are all still inherently SEO tactics.
What is generative AI optimization?
AI Optimization is another term for GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). It focuses on creating content and manufacturing digital footprint to increase your site’s chances to appear in AI answers and, when possible, cited from them.
What is the difference between Search Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization?
Metrics:
- SEO relies on clicks and rankings
- GEO relies on brand visibility, impressions, and citation frequency
On-site tactics:
- SEO relies on keyword optimization
- GEO relies on context and semantic optimization
Both rely on core principles, though:
- Relevance
- Authority
- Crawlability
