Overview

What we deliver

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) covers everything that helps your brand appear as a reliable source in the answers of generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini. More and more people no longer research through a list of blue links but let AI give them a direct answer – and that’s increasingly where visibility is decided. Being named in those answers earns trust and reach before classic search even comes into play.

Effective GEO doesn’t happen by accident. We think of it as six interlocking disciplines – prioritised by data and impact on your visibility in AI search.

Entities & knowledge graph

AI systems think in entities, not keywords. We turn your brand, services and experts into clear, machine-readable entities – through structured data, consistent facts and presence in knowledge sources like the Google Knowledge Graph. So the AI reliably knows who you are and what you stand for.

AI-readable content structure

For AI to cite your content, it has to be extractable. We structure your knowledge into clear answers, definitions and question-and-answer formats a language model can take directly – concise, evidenced and to the point. Prose becomes citable knowledge.

Source authority & citability

AI systems favour sources seen as credible. That authority comes from demonstrable expertise and experience (E-E-A-T), solid evidence and mentions of your brand in the relevant field. We build the signals that lead AI to cite you specifically.

Technical AI accessibility

What AI crawlers can’t reach can’t be cited. We ensure clean access for AI bots (such as GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot), server-rendered HTML and structured data that gives your content the context it needs. The technical foundation that makes AI visibility possible in the first place.

Multi-engine presence

AI search is fragmented: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini select sources differently. We don’t optimise for a single engine but build presence across all the relevant systems – so you’re visible wherever your audience actually asks.

Monitoring AI visibility

AI answers aren’t static and aren’t the same every day. We track whether and how your brand is named for the decisive prompts, measure your share of voice in AI answers and adjust deliberately. That turns AI visibility from a black box into a manageable channel.

GEO and SEO belong together

GEO doesn’t replace SEO – the two work together. A technically clean, topically deep and credibly linked website is the foundation on which AI visibility is built. That’s why we think both channels as one: what strengthens your classic visibility also feeds your presence in AI search when it’s structured right.

Challenge & Solution
The situation

The Challenge

Search is shifting into AI systems – but most websites aren’t built for it. Content that reads well for humans often isn’t cleanly captured by models, gets summarised incorrectly or isn’t used as a source at all.

The risk: your competitors get recommended by ChatGPT and co., you don’t – and you don’t even notice, because classic analytics don’t reflect this visibility.

Our approach

Our Solution

We make your content AI-readable and trustworthy: clearly structured, unambiguously defined, evidenced and consistent across the entire web. That increases the likelihood that models recognise and recommend you as a source.

Instead of guessing, we work measurably: we monitor your AI visibility, identify gaps and close them deliberately.

Industries

Use Cases

How SEO delivers in different industries — from the starting point to a measurable result.

Renewable Energy

Top source
in AI answers on energy topics
01
Challenge

For complex energy topics, prospects increasingly ask ChatGPT & co. for recommendations and explanations – instead of classic googling. Whoever doesn’t appear in those AI answers doesn’t exist for this audience.

02
Our approach

We structure your expertise so AI systems cite it: clear entities, evidenced statements on technologies and subsidies, Q&A content and technical crawler accessibility.

03
Result

Your brand is named as a source in AI answers on energy topics – gaining visibility long before competitors take GEO seriously.

Our Process

01

GEO audit

We analyse whether and how you appear in the relevant AI systems and where the biggest gaps are.

02

Structure & preparation

We bring your content into a machine-readable, citable form: schema, definitions, FAQ and how-to structures.

03

Authority & consistency

We strengthen E-E-A-T and ensure uniform entity signals across the entire web.

04

Monitoring

We track your AI visibility continuously and refine where answers don’t yet consider you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about GEO

Allgemein

3
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO covers all the measures that help your content appear as a source in the answers of generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity. The goal is to be understood, cited and recommended by large language models.
How does GEO differ from SEO?
SEO optimises your position in the classic search results, GEO your visibility in AI-generated answers. Both build on the same foundations – good structure, depth and authority – and complement each other. We think them as one.
Do I need GEO if my SEO is already good?
Good SEO is the best starting point for GEO – but not automatic. AI systems select sources by their own criteria. With focused GEO work you make sure your existing strength also lands in AI answers.

How long does it take for GEO to work?
As with SEO, GEO is a medium-term build-up. Structural improvements can take effect quickly, but building authority and consistent signals takes time. The effect is durable once models classify you as a reliable source.

2
Can AI visibility even be measured?
Yes. There are now methods and tools to track whether and how your brand is mentioned and cited in the relevant AI systems. That is exactly what we make transparently visible.
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a machine-readable file that gives AI systems a structured overview of the most important content on your website – similar to a sitemap, but for large language models. It is one building block of a well-thought-out GEO strategy.
