AI Search Optimization

& GEO

Helping your brand get discovered and cited in AI-driven search experiences by aligning content.

Gain AI Visibility

Search is changing fast. If your content strategy isn't adapting, you're already behind.

Generative search tools reshape how people find information. Users are asking conversational queries and expecting complete, credible answers, not just a list of links. In response, AI tools are seeking easy-to-read, well-organized, and cited references to use in their answers.

Our AI Search Optimization and GEO (generative engine optimization) services make sure your brand shows up in those answers.

We dig deep within AI optimization. We refine content for AI tools, generate new content, build citations, and ensure the technical aspects of your website are tight so that when an AI-powered engine answers a question, your brand and material are part of that answer.

Our AI Search, GEO Process

1

Benchmarking

Every AI Search Optimization project starts by identifying the topic you’d like to focus on.

Once we decide on the topic, we use our powerful AI tracking tools designed to discover the most pertinent selection of prompts that you’ll want to track and appear in. Then our tools collect data while we do the next step: ensuring your site is technically optimized for AI.

2

Technical Optimization

This step is all about ensuring your site is optimized for AI tools to read, understand, and display.

LLMS.txt & Technical Readiness

We prepare and validate an llms.txt file (similar to robots.txt) to guide generative engines and crawlers. We also review your site’s technical accessibility, including speed, structured data, canonical tags, and crawl access, so your content can be correctly cited by AI engines.

Schema Markup & Structured Data

We add JSON-LD schema markup (Service, FAQPage, Article, Organization, LocalBusiness, etc.) across your site so that AI engines and answer systems can accurately interpret your content and its relationships with other site pages.

3

Content Optimization

Once the technical aspects of your site are handled, we look at existing content and determine what is needed to maximize exposure and mentions for your brand in AI. AI can’t mention you if you don’t have the information they want to display. We ensure the information AI seeks is presented clearly and accurately on your site. We also discover any holes in your content that need to be addressed.

Passage Level Optimization

Rather than focusing solely on full pages, we refine content at the passage level. AI systems often surface specific paragraphs as answer blocks. By structuring your text with headings, lists, concise summaries, and easily extractable questions and answers and concise summaries, you can make it reference-ready.

4

Building Links and Citations

After the technical and content needs of your site are addressed, we do what we’ve done for 13 years as a leader in the industry: build links and citations.

Backlinks and Citations

We help you gain authoritative links and citations, including placements in conversational search where AI systems reference your material. These mentions build credibility and increase the chances of your brand appearing in AI-generated answers

Reporting

AI Search Optimization requires a different measurement framework than traditional SEO. Rankings alone don’t show how or where AI systems are surfacing your brand, so reporting must focus on visibility, citations, and influence within generative results.

Our reporting shows how your brand is being discovered, referenced, and trusted over time through AI-powered search experiences. Each report connects AI visibility signals back to content performance and technical readiness, so you can clearly understand what’s working and where to refine.

Conversational intent 
is accelerating

Users now ask full questions like “What’s the best way to refine content for AI search?” instead of short phrases. These systems rely on context, entity recognition, structured data, and trustworthy citations. Optimizing your content for LLM use is key to getting where you need to be.

FAQ

What is AI Search Optimization?

AI Search Optimization is the process of refining content, structure, and technical elements so that large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can recognize, understand, and cite your brand in their generated answers. It extends beyond traditional SEO by focusing on visibility within AI-driven responses, not only search engine rankings.

What does GEO stand for?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It’s a new form of search optimization that helps brands appear in AI-generated results and conversational responses. GEO targets the signals that generative models use, such as citations, structured data, and context, to increase the likelihood of being referenced in AI answers.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking web pages in search results. GEO focuses on making your content readable, trusted, and reference-ready for generative engines. While both rely on quality content and links, GEO also considers technical readiness (like llms.txt and schema markup) and passage-level context so AI systems can surface your content accurately.

What is an llms.txt file, and why does it matter?

The llms.txt file works like a modern version of robots.txt. It signals which parts of your site AI crawlers and large language models can access. Having a properly configured file helps generative systems index your content correctly, improving the chances of being cited when users ask related questions.

What kind of reporting comes with your AI Search & GEO service?

Our Monthly GEO Reporting tracks how your brand appears in generative search results. Reports include citation growth, AI mention tracking, passage-level visibility, schema and crawl health, and recommendations for ongoing improvement. Each report connects GEO metrics to overall content performance so you can see measurable progress.

Why should businesses invest in GEO now?

Generative search tools are already shaping how users find and trust information. Brands that start building their GEO foundations early will have stronger authority when AI systems decide which sources to include in their answers. Investing now helps your business secure visibility while competition is still limited.

Why are citations important for AI Search & GEO?

Citations help generative search engines identify trustworthy sources. When AI models find consistent, high-quality references to your brand across the web, they’re more likely to include your content in their generated answers. Building accurate, authoritative citations strengthens your credibility in both traditional search and AI-driven discovery.

How can I measure success with AI Search & GEO?

Success is measured by how frequently your content appears, is cited, or influences AI-generated responses. Our reporting includes metrics such as brand mentions within AI tools, citation growth, passage-level visibility, and shifts in engagement from users arriving through generative platforms. Together, these indicators show how your brand is gaining recognition across both traditional and AI-powered search.
