Make your content more usable and citable in generated answers: clear claims, sources, original data and structure.

Method stages this service covers
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of making content usable and citable by systems that generate answers rather than list links. It differs from classic SEO in what it rewards: a direct answer near the top, specific claims with sources, visible dates and authors, and original data that no other page offers. It covers a citability audit of priority pages, rewrites that put the claim first, a plan for original elements, and monthly tracking of which sampled prompts cite your pages.
The problem
Generated answers cite a handful of sources for each question. Ranking gets a page retrieved, but being quoted is a separate step, and the system needs a passage it can lift and defend. Pages that are vague, unsourced or buried in marketing language rarely offer one, however well they rank.
We rework priority pages so each claim is clear, sourced and structured for retrieval, and we add the original elements that make a page worth citing.
Pages rank well in Google yet never appear as sources in generated answers.
Statements with no numbers, dates or sources, which systems can't verify or quote.
Content that restates what every competitor says, so there is no reason to cite it.
The direct answer sits under three paragraphs of introduction.
The traits we work towards are the ones Google’s guidance on AI features and our own sampled checks keep pointing at: a direct answer near the top, specific claims with sources, visible dates and authors, and something original. None of this is a trick; it is what a careful reader would want too.
Generative engine optimization lives in the Trust, Retrieve and Cite stages of the Crawl-to-Citation Method. Access and Understand are checked first, because citation fails when they do. For how GEO relates to SEO and AEO, and which one a given symptom needs, read SEO vs AEO vs GEO.
How we approach it
We find which pages are cited and why, then make claims explicit and sourced. Each step ends with a check we can show you.
See the full methodCompare cited and uncited pages on structure, evidence, freshness and clarity.
One clear answer per section, claims with sources, dates visible, authors named.
Plan and publish the data or analysis competitors can't copy.
Sampled prompts, run on schedule, with citation URLs recorded.
What you get
Every rewrite states the claim, the source and the passage an answer can lift.
Which pages are cited, which aren't, and the likely reasons
First-party data, surveys, benchmarks or tools worth citing
How we measure it
We record a baseline on a fixed prompt set before any change, then re-run the same prompts on the same engines afterwards.

Each result states the baseline, the time window and what we can't attribute to our work.

It covers all six method stages, so citation gaps are ranked against everything else before you commit to a sprint.

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most.
Still have questions? Book a callIt builds on SEO. If a page can't be crawled and understood, it won't be cited. GEO adds the evidence, structure and originality that generated answers favour.
It helps systems understand a page; it is not a citation switch. We only add structured data that matches what is visible on the page.
AEO makes sure each question buyers ask has a page whose first lines answer it. GEO works on the evidence inside that answer: specific claims, named sources, visible dates and something original. The two overlap, and many engagements combine them.
The pages are chosen from the prompts that matter to your pipeline, starting with those most likely to be retrieved and cited.
