GEO and AI SEO: what each service does

Named in AI answers

Generative engine optimization (GEO)

GEO gets a business named in the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode give when customers ask who to hire.

  • A monthly prompt panel of the questions your buyers ask AI
  • Competitor tracing: why each named business gets named
  • Consistent business data across Google, directories and review sites
  • Review growth, digital PR and mentions in the sources AI cites
  • Monthly reporting across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI
Cited by AI search

AI SEO

AI SEO makes a website the source AI search reads and cites: content, structure, schema and crawler access that rank on Google and get quoted in AI Overviews and AI Mode.

  • Content written to be quoted: direct answers, real data, clear sources
  • Service and location pages AI search can lift and cite
  • Organization, Service and FAQPage schema as one entity graph
  • Access for AI crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot) and llms.txt
  • Technical SEO: speed, indexation, internal linking
The search landscape shifted

Your buyers now ask AI before they search.

Google answers with AI above the links now, and a growing share of buyers skip Google entirely and ask an assistant. Here's what that means for where you invest.

Ranks you on Google

Classic SEO Retainer

Keywords, links and page-one rankings. It still matters, and it covers one surface while AI Overviews and assistants answer around it.

  • Tracks Google rankings only
  • Leaves ChatGPT and Perplexity answers to chance
  • Loses clicks as AI Overviews push links down
  • Content written for rankings alone
Chases AI mentions

AI-Only Tactics

Focuses on AI answers alone and gives up the Google traffic, and the authority, that AI engines themselves rely on.

  • Gives up today's biggest channel
  • Builds on thin authority
  • Hard to measure without an SEO baseline
  • Gains that fade quickly
What we runWhat we do

GEO + AI SEO

One program covers both. GEO works on the answers AI gives, and AI SEO makes your site the source those answers cite, while it keeps you ranking on Google.

  • Rankings and AI recommendations from the same work
  • Tracked with rank tracking and prompt panels
  • Business data consistent everywhere AI checks
  • Compounding returns as both surfaces grow
What we offer

What our generative engine optimization and AI SEO services include

Every part of your generative engine optimization program, run as one plan.

01

GEO Audit: Who AI Names Instead of You

Every program starts here. We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI the questions your buyers actually ask and record which businesses get named, which sources get cited, and where your site ranks on Google for the same topics. The result is one honest baseline: what you own, what competitors own, and which gaps are winnable first.

02

AI Crawler Access and Technical AI SEO

AI search can only cite pages it can fetch and read. We open access for the AI search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended), serve content as real HTML that language models can parse, publish llms.txt, and fix the classic technical layer underneath: Core Web Vitals, indexation, internal linking and sitemaps.

03

Content Built to Be Quoted

Generative engines quote passages, so we write and restructure your pages around them: a direct answer up front, specific numbers and specifications, and sources attributed so engines can verify what they quote. The same pages rank on Google and get lifted into AI Overviews and AI Mode. Every page is grounded in your real expertise.

04

Entity & Schema Engineering

Language models decide who you are by cross-referencing every mention of your business. We make that easy: consistent Organization, Service, Person and FAQPage schema, matching data on your Google Business Profile and directories, and a clean entity graph connecting your brand to your services and the areas you serve.

05

Reviews, Mentions & Authority

AI recommendations rest on corroboration. We build it in the places each engine retrieves from: the right industry directories and marketplaces, steady review growth, digital PR, and mentions on the sites AI answers cite. Over time the models learn that your business belongs in the answer.

06

Monthly Prompt-Panel Reporting

Every month we re-run a stable panel of real buyer prompts across every major AI engine and show you which answers name you, which name a competitor, and what we are doing about it, alongside Google rankings, traffic and leads.

How it works

What working with us looks like

  1. 01

    GEO Audit

    We run a prompt panel across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI to see who gets named and which sources get cited, then audit your site's AI SEO: crawler access, schema, content and Google rankings. One document shows where you stand and what's winnable first.

  2. 02

    One Roadmap

    Every task is chosen for its effect on the answers AI gives your buyers. You approve a prioritized roadmap with clear expectations for what moves in 30, 90 and 180 days.

  3. 03

    Ship in Sprints

    Technical fixes, schema, content, reviews and mention building land in fortnightly sprints. Improvements go live every two weeks and start compounding right away.

  4. 04

    Measure, Defend, Expand

    Monthly reporting covers rankings, traffic, leads and AI recommendations against named competitors. Winning prompts get defended, near-misses get targeted next.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the work of getting your business named, cited and recommended in answers written by AI: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode. It covers prompt-panel tracking, the reviews, listings and mentions AI cross-checks, and the on-site AI SEO that makes your pages quotable. Our full guide explains it in depth.

What is the difference between GEO and AI SEO?

The two overlap, and the industry often uses the names interchangeably. We split them by where the work happens. GEO is about the answer: tracking which businesses AI names for your buyers' questions, and building the off-site evidence (reviews, listings, mentions) that changes it. AI SEO is about your website: content, schema and crawler access that make your pages the source AI search reads, ranks and cites. You need both to get recommended, so we run them as one program.

What is the difference between GEO and SEO?

SEO earns you a position in Google's list of links. GEO earns you a mention inside the answer an AI writes, whether that's ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's own AI Overview above the links. The foundations overlap heavily, since AI engines lean on the same signals Google trusts, which is why our AI SEO keeps your Google rankings growing while GEO works on the answers.

What does an AI SEO agency do?

An AI SEO agency gets your business cited and recommended in AI answers while growing your Google rankings. Orkkid is a GEO and AI SEO agency: we run a monthly prompt panel of the questions your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI, then ship the fixes that change the answers: AI crawler access, content written to be quoted, consistent schema and listings, and reviews and mentions in the sources each engine reads.

What do answer engine optimization services include?

Answer engine optimization services and generative engine optimization services cover the same work: an audit of who AI names for your buyers' questions, technical access for AI crawlers, passage-level content AI can quote, entity and schema work, review and mention building, and monthly tracking across every major engine. Ask any GEO agency to show you its prompt panel before you sign.

Do you offer GEO and AI SEO for specific industries?

Yes. We run dedicated programs for three industries: GEO for solar companies and AI SEO for solar companies, GEO for moving companies and AI SEO for moving companies, and GEO for wedding vendors and AI SEO for wedding vendors. Each industry page explains what its program includes, the directories and review sites AI checks in that market, and the case study behind it.

Which businesses get the most from GEO?

Businesses whose customers research before they hire, and ask AI to narrow the list. High-ticket and trust-heavy purchases fit best. A solar installer we work with reached 1,531 organic clicks and 33 qualified inquiries, a New York mover reached 2.56 million search impressions, and an events business turned planning content into 176 inquiries from Google and AI search.

How do you measure GEO results?

We maintain a stable panel of prompts built from the questions your buyers ask, run it monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI, and record which businesses each engine names and which sources it cites. Trended over time and benchmarked against your competitors, that is the AI equivalent of rank tracking. The same report covers Google rankings, organic traffic and leads.

How long does GEO take to work?

AI engines that search the live web, like ChatGPT search and Perplexity, can pick up technical fixes and new pages within four to eight weeks. Google rankings and the brand associations held inside AI models move on a slower clock: typically three to six months of consistent content, schema and mention building, faster in uncrowded categories.

Do you work with businesses outside the US?

Yes. We work remotely with businesses across English-speaking markets, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The method is the same everywhere, and the directories, review sites and buyer questions are adapted to your market.
