Generative Engine Optimization

Become a Source the Models Trust

Generative Engine Optimisation builds the authority, citation and entity signals that decide whether an assistant names your brand or a competitor when it answers.

  • Entity consistency
  • Citation source building
  • Prompt-set baseline
  • Measured monthly
The Mechanism

You Cannot Edit the Answer, Only the Inputs

Assistants assemble answers from sources, structure and entity data. None of those are things you can change directly in the model, and all three are things you can change on the open web.

GEO is the work of improving those inputs deliberately: earning citations on the publications models already lean on, aligning what the web says about your brand, and making your own pages quotable.

  • Baseline measured before anything changes
  • Entity facts aligned everywhere machines read them
  • Citations earned on sources models already use
  • Re-measured on a fixed cycle so change is readable

What we work on

  • Entity consistency across the web
  • Citations on trusted sources
  • Original data worth referencing
  • Author and expertise signals
  • Extractable content structure
  • Competitor share of answer

What We Do

The Inputs That Actually Move Citations

Everything here is measurable against a prompt-set baseline, or we do not do it.

Visibility Baseline

A fixed prompt set run across assistants, recording where you appear, how you are described, and who is cited instead.

  • Entity Alignment

    Name, category, founders, location and description made consistent everywhere a machine can find them.

  • Citation Source Building

    Placements on the publications models already treat as authoritative for your subject.

  • Expertise Signals

    Author identity, credentials and topical track record strengthened across your content.

  • Original Data Publishing

    Research and figures other sites reference, which is one of the strongest paths into an answer.

  • Competitor Answer Analysis

    Who is cited in your category, on which prompts, and what they have that you do not.

The inputs models draw on: which sources cite you, what the web says about your brand, and how quotable your own pages are. You cannot edit the output, but those three reliably shift it.
It overlaps heavily and shares most of the same work. The emphasis differs: extractability, entity consistency and citation-worthiness matter more than click-through, because there may be no click.
A fixed prompt set run across each assistant on a schedule. We record appearance, position, description accuracy, and who is cited instead. That baseline is what makes any claim about improvement checkable.
Structural and entity work can show inside four to eight weeks. Citation and authority work compounds over three to six months.
That is usually an entity problem. Models repeat what the web says, so the fix is correcting the sources, and it is one of the more satisfying parts of this work.
No. It sits alongside it, and almost everything that helps here also helps conventional rankings.
