Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)
AI tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity are now the first stop for millions of searches. GEO ensures your business is the source they reference, recommend, and cite.
What is Generative Engine Optimisation?
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising your online presence so that AI-powered search tools and large language models (LLMs) discover, understand, and recommend your business in their generated responses.
Where traditional SEO helps you rank on a search results page, GEO helps you become the source that AI cites when a potential client asks “Who is the best [your service] in [your city]?” — or any question your business could answer.
Critically, GEO is built on the same foundation as great SEO. There is no shortcut to AI visibility without first having authoritative, well-structured, high-quality content. Think of GEO as the next layer of strategy, not a replacement. AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity are changing how people find businesses online. The good news: the foundation for AI visibility is exactly the same as great SEO.
Businesses that invest in quality SEO today aren’t just winning on Google — they’re positioning themselves to be cited and recommended by AI search tools tomorrow.

SEO — The Foundation
High-quality content, technical health, authoritative backlinks, and keyword optimisation. These are the signals both search engines and AI systems depend on to evaluate credibility.

GEO builds on top of SEO
AI systems learn from the web. Websites with strong SEO signals are the ones AI models are trained on, reference, and cite. You cannot skip to GEO without a strong SEO base.
