01What's included

A full-stack GEO + AEO
operating programme.

Six work streams that run every month inside a Growth Anchors Generative Engine Optimization retainer. Built to compound citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews simultaneously.

Prompt-landscape mapping

We map the actual prompts your buyers ask LLMs, segmented by intent, funnel stage and competitor mention frequency. The starting point for every GEO programme.

AI citation share monitoring

Weekly tracking across 12+ LLMs and answer engines - ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, AI Overviews. Know where you're cited, where competitors are, and where the gaps live.

Entity & schema engineering

Knowledge-graph-grade entity definitions, FAQ schema, HowTo, Article, Organization, Product, Person and BreadcrumbList - deployed sitewide so LLMs can parse what humans read.

Authority asset production

Original research, expert op-eds, data studies, glossaries and reference content - the source-grade assets generative engines actually quote in their answers.

Digital PR for AI citations

Editorial coverage on the exact publications LLM training and retrieval pipelines favour. Not vanity press - citation-feeding press, tracked through to AI citation lift.

Answer-engine content architecture

Content structured for canonical-answer extraction: clear definitions, comparison tables, structured Q&A, conversational coverage and direct-answer paragraphs that AEO surfaces lift verbatim.

02The GEO process

How our GEO agency
earns citations inside LLMs.

A repeatable six-stage Generative Engine Optimization methodology - the same one we run across every GEO + AEO engagement, from focused single-vertical programmes to enterprise multi-market retainers. Built to compound AI citation share, referral traffic and pipeline at the same time.

  1. 01

    Prompt landscape

    Map every conversational query your buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude - segmented by intent, funnel stage and competitor mention. The unit of GEO planning is the prompt, not the keyword.

  2. 02

    Citation baseline

    Audit your current citation share across 12+ LLMs and answer engines. Benchmark against your top 3 named competitors. Identify the prompts you should already own but don't.

  3. 03

    Entity & schema

    Deploy knowledge-graph-grade entity definitions and sitewide schema (Organization, FAQ, HowTo, Article, Product, Person, BreadcrumbList). Make your brand unambiguous to every retrieval system.

  4. 04

    Authority content

    Publish source-grade content engineered for LLM extraction: original research, data studies, expert commentary, structured comparison tables, glossaries and reference pages that LLMs prefer to cite over thin opinion content.

  5. 05

    Digital PR & links

    Earn editorial coverage on the publications LLM training and retrieval favour. Authority backlinks now feed both Google rankings and AI citation - we run both as one campaign.

  6. 06

    Monitor & compound

    Weekly citation tracking across all monitored engines. Monthly executive readouts tied to pipeline. Quarterly architecture refreshes so the programme keeps compounding citation share instead of plateauing.

03SEO vs GEO vs AEO

One programme.
Three search surfaces.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are not replacements for traditional SEO - they're the new layers that decide whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews actually cite you. We run all three under one roof so the same content earns Google rankings and AI citations at the same time.

04GEO ranking factors

What LLMs weight when
they decide who to cite.

Six factors that decide whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and AI Overviews pull from your site or a competitor's. Every page in our Generative Engine Optimization programme is engineered around these signals.

01

Entity authority

Wikipedia, Wikidata, LinkedIn, Crunchbase and structured directory presence - the entity graph LLMs rely on to disambiguate brands and decide who's authoritative.

02

Source-grade content

Original research, first-hand data, expert quotes and structured citations - the content LLMs prefer to lift over thin opinion or paraphrased summaries.

03

Schema depth

Organization, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, Person, BreadcrumbList and Review schema deployed sitewide. Schema is how machines parse what's worth citing.

04

Topical & prompt coverage

Wide, deep coverage of the full prompt landscape in your category - not just commercial keywords. Generative engines reward topical breadth more than narrow keyword targeting.

05

Citation-grade backlinks

Editorial mentions on the publications LLM training and retrieval pipelines favour. The same authority links that lift Google rankings now lift AI citation share.

06

Freshness & maintenance

LLMs re-crawl and re-index aggressively. Content that's updated quarterly outperforms stale content of the same word count for citation selection.
