Generative Engine Optimization
Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI search, not just Google.
Generative engine optimization is about being cited and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews, a different discipline from traditional SEO, even though the two overlap significantly.
We structure content so AI systems can extract clear, accurate answers, build the kind of topical authority these systems favour when choosing what to cite, and make sure your content is technically accessible to AI crawlers in the first place.
This is a genuinely new and fast moving area, and we’re upfront that best practices are still being established, but the fundamentals, clear structure, real expertise, technical accessibility, already make a measurable difference.
Who this is for.
