GEO: how to get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI

More and more people do not search, they ask: "which company builds AI assistants over documents?". The answer comes from ChatGPT, Perplexity or a Google AI overview. Whether your company is in that answer depends on GEO, optimization for generative search engines.

How AI assistants choose sources

AI search engines read the web, pick sources that clearly answer the question and cite them. They favor pages that are:

  • focused and expert on a topic,
  • clearly structured (headings, lists, FAQ),
  • fast and readable without JavaScript,
  • mentioned on other relevant sites.

Eight practical steps

  1. One page, one topic. A separate page for each service, with concrete answers.
  2. Questions and answers. Answer the questions customers actually ask, with FAQ schema (generator).
  3. Concrete data. Prices or ranges, timelines, examples, results. AI likes numbers.
  4. llms.txt and llms-full.txt. A concise overview for AI models (llms.txt generator).
  5. Structured data: Organization, Service, FAQPage, BlogPosting.
  6. Do not block AI crawlers if you want to be cited (robots.txt generator).
  7. Multiple languages with correct hreflang (guide).
  8. Off-site mentions: case studies, guest posts, directories and reviews.

How we measure

We regularly ask AI assistants the questions your customers ask and track whether the company appears and with which source. We also track traffic from AI sources in analytics.
