AI Search Visibility (GEO & AEO)

I make your brand the answer when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews, and I give you a dashboard that tracks whether it worked.

In short

Generative engine optimization is the work of getting named when an AI assistant answers a question in your market. Buyers now ask ChatGPT or Perplexity before they open Google, and if the model has never seen you, you are not in the shortlist. I audit how the major models currently answer your buying questions, fix the structure and the sources that decide it, and build the tracker that measures your share of those answers week over week.

What you get

Tracks your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, not just Google's blue links
A real baseline: every answer recorded verbatim before any work starts, so improvement is provable
Competitor share of answer, per question, so you can see who you are actually losing to
FAQ, HowTo and Organization schema written to be lifted cleanly by a model, not stuffed for a crawler
Entity consistency work: one name, one description, one set of facts everywhere the models read
Source placement aimed at the specific third-party pages the assistants cite in your category
A hosted dashboard your team can open, with weekly history rather than a one-off PDF
Built on the same stack I run in production for a Swedish SEO consultancy's own clients

How I work

  1. 01

    Question set and baseline

    We agree the 30 to 100 questions your buyers actually ask. I run them across every major assistant and record today's answers verbatim. That baseline is what everything later is measured against.

  2. 02

    Gap analysis

    For each question I find why the model answers the way it does: which sources it leans on, which entities it associates with the category, and what is missing or contradictory about you.

  3. 03

    Fix the structure and the sources

    I rewrite the pages that should be quotable, add the schema that makes them parseable, make your naming consistent across the web, and target the third-party sources the models keep citing.

  4. 04

    Track, report, repeat

    The tracker re-runs on a schedule. You get a weekly or monthly view of mention rate, position and sentiment per question, and we work the list that is still losing.

Ways to work together

AI visibility audit, 1 week

I run your real buying questions through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews and record who gets named. You get a report of where you appear, where a competitor appears instead, and the specific reason for each gap.

Visibility tracker, built and hosted

A dashboard that re-asks your questions on a schedule and charts your mention rate and position against competitors, so visibility becomes a number your team can move instead of a hunch.

Answer-ready content and schema

I restructure your pages so a model can lift a clean answer: direct first sentences, real FAQ and HowTo schema, entity-consistent naming, and the citations that make a source quotable.

Ongoing GEO retainer

Monthly cycles of tracking, content, and source placement, with a report showing which questions you gained and which you lost. Priced per month, cancel any time.

Common questions

Q.What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?

SEO is about ranking a page in a list of links. GEO, generative engine optimization, is about being named inside the answer an AI assistant writes. The mechanics differ: assistants favour sources that state facts plainly, carry consistent entity information, and are cited by other pages they already trust. You need both, and the same content can serve both if it is structured correctly.

Q.How much does AI search visibility work cost?

The one-week audit with a full baseline and gap report starts around $1.2k. Audit plus a hosted tracker starts around $3.5k. Ongoing GEO retainers run from $1.5k a month depending on how many questions and markets you track. I quote fixed after a short call.

Q.Can you actually influence what ChatGPT says about my company?

Not directly, and anyone promising a guaranteed answer is selling you something. What you can influence is the evidence the model reads: your own pages, your schema, your consistency across the web, and the third-party sources it cites. That moves answers, measurably, and the tracker is there so you see whether it did rather than taking my word for it.

Q.How long before I see a change?

Structural and schema fixes tend to show inside two to six weeks as the assistants re-crawl. Source placement is slower, usually one to three months. The tracker makes the difference visible as it happens instead of at the end.

Q.Do you work with agencies white-label?

Yes. I already build this for a consultancy that resells it to its own clients, so the tracker can run under your brand with your clients in it.

Q.What do I need to give you to start?

Your site, a list of the questions your buyers ask, and the competitors you care about. If you do not have the question list, I will draft it from your site and sales calls and you approve it.
