Be the business ChatGPT recommends.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets you cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) wins Google AI Overviews, snippets and voice. We ship both: answer-first content, stacked schema, llms.txt + AI crawlers, citations — tracked monthly, guaranteed or refunded.

How AI chooses who to recommend
AI engines verify before they recommend: clear business entity (name + city + services), consistent NAP everywhere, Organization + LocalBusiness schema, fresh answer-shaped passages, named facts with sources, reviews mentioning service + city, and third-party mentions. Generic template sites with no schema get skipped.
- Direct answers first: 40–60 words answering the prompt, then detail. AI cites what it can lift whole.
- Question headings: “How do I get recommended by ChatGPT?” beats “GEO Overview”.
- Fact density: a stat + named source every 150–200 words. Princeton 2024: +30–40% AI visibility.
- Freshness: visible Last updated + dateModified. Stale pages lose citations ~3x faster.
- Crawl access: allow OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended. Block = invisible.

What about Google’s “you don’t need llms.txt” guidance?
Correct for Google AI Overviews: strong SEO is the prerequisite (76% of Overview citations come from top-10 Google results). But Anthropic explicitly recommends llms.txt, Perplexity/OpenAI respect robots AI tokens, and curated llms.txt is zero-downside prioritization for LLM agents. We do both — bulletproof SEO plus LLM-friendly extras. No hacks, no stuffing, no fake mentions.
Timeline
Technical (crawlers, schema, llms.txt): impact in 4–8 weeks. Content restructuring: 6–12 weeks. Authority (mentions, reviews): 3–6 months. That’s why our guarantee sprint is 90 days with monthly proof — you watch citations appear.
