Compounds With SEO
Strong GEO improves traditional Google rankings too — schema, entities and topical authority benefit both.
What's Included in Our GEO Service
GEO blends classic SEO craft with AI-native tactics — schema, entity SEO, citation seeding, llms.txt — to make your business the obvious answer for the questions buyers ask AI.
- AI Visibility Audit — we map every prompt your buyers ask AI in your category and grade where you currently appear (or don't)
- Schema & Entity SEO — Organization, Service, Product, FAQ, HowTo, Review markup so AI engines parse your business cleanly
- llms.txt protocol & AI-friendly content blocks that LLMs can quote verbatim
- Citation seeding on the high-authority sources that train and retrieve for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity
- Topical authority content — long-form, factual, citation-worthy work LLMs prefer to recommend
- Citation tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, AI Overviews and Bing AI
- Monthly reporting showing which engines are citing you, for which prompts, and what it's converting to
GEO vs SEO — What's the Difference?
SEO competes for ranking on the search results page. GEO competes to be the source the AI model trusts and cites inside its generated answer. Both share foundations like clean code, structured data and content quality — but each requires its own optimisation tactics on top.
GEO doesn't replace SEO. It's the missing layer for the AI answer era. Done together they cover both Google's ranked results and the AI-generated answers that increasingly sit above them. Most of our clients add GEO on top of an existing SEO retainer.
Which AI Engines Do We Optimise For?
All the ones that matter:
- ChatGPT (OpenAI) — including ChatGPT Search and the new browse-with-citations mode
- Google Gemini and Google AI Overviews / SGE
- Anthropic Claude
- Perplexity AI — the citation-first AI search engine growing fastest in the UK
- Microsoft Copilot and Bing AI
- DuckDuckGo AI
We track your citations across all of them every month and report exactly where you appear (and don't yet).

Frequently Asked Questions About GEO
What is GEO?
Generative Engine Optimisation — optimising your website and content so AI systems (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) recommend, cite and link to your business when users ask AI questions in your category.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO competes for ranking on the search results page. GEO competes to be the source AI cites in its generated answer. They share foundations but require different tactics on top.
How long does GEO take to work?
Faster than SEO. AI engines re-crawl within days; AI Overviews can cite a new page within 1–2 weeks. Lasting topical authority typically takes 2–4 months.
Will GEO replace SEO?
No. Most users still Google for half their searches and AI engines rely heavily on Google's index. Smart businesses do both. The mistake is doing only SEO and letting AI engines recommend your competitors.
Do I need an existing site to start?
Yes — GEO is on-site optimisation plus off-site citation work. If your site needs rebuilding, our web design service can handle that first.
