What are generative engine optimization services?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) services are the work of getting a brand included and recommended in answers written by AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews.

A complete GEO service covers four things. Prompt research finds the questions buyers ask AI assistants in your category and records who each assistant names today. Access and eligibility makes sure AI systems can reach and use your pages. Answer-first content gives them a clear passage to quote. Off-site mentions on the reviews, directories, comparison articles and press that answers draw on make you a brand worth recommending. For a broader look at choosing a partner, see our GEO agency page.
The delivery gap

You were sold GEO. Nobody can show you an AI answer that names you.

Generative engine optimization has become a line item on every agency menu, often as llms.txt files, AI rewrites or new schema. Google says none of those are needed to appear in its AI features, and none of them show up in a ChatGPT answer. What decides it is simpler and harder: whether AI systems can reach your pages, whether your pages answer the question best, and whether the sites they trust talk about you.

Deliverables, not answers

You get a report full of AI visibility scores, but when you ask ChatGPT the question your buyers ask, a competitor is still named first.

No baseline to measure against

Nobody recorded which prompts matter, who gets named today and where you appear, so there is no way to tell if the work is moving anything.

GEO cut off from SEO

GEO sold as a separate service from a separate team ignores the indexing, content and links that AI answers depend on, so the two programs fight each other.

The playbook

What our generative engine optimization services include

Every step runs through the Full-Stack Search Method™: technical SEO, content, links, local search and AI visibility as one program, led by senior strategists.

01 · Research

Prompt research: the questions that decide who gets the deal

Every engagement starts with the prompts, not the keywords. We list the questions your buyers type into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI when they are close to choosing: the best provider for their situation, alternatives to a competitor, what it costs, who serves their city. We run each one, record who is named and in what order, and note which sources the answer cites. That baseline becomes the scorecard for the whole engagement and tells us whether your gap is access, content or reputation.

STEP 1 OF 5

Google's guidance on AI features is clear: there is no special markup or file to add. A page has to be indexed and eligible to appear as a snippet, so noindex tags, nosnippet or restrictive max-snippet settings, wrong canonicals and pages hidden behind scripts all keep you out. For ChatGPT search, your robots.txt and any firewall or bot-protection rules have to let OAI-SearchBot through. Blocking GPTBot, OpenAI's training crawler, is a separate decision that does not remove you from ChatGPT search. We check and fix all of this in the first weeks.

STEP 2 OF 5

Google describes its AI features as running several related searches behind one question, a technique it calls query fan-out, then pulling the most useful passages from what it finds. Pages that cover the questions around a purchase, such as cost, fit, alternatives and location, and that state each answer plainly and early, give those systems something to use. We rewrite and build service, comparison and location pages on that basis, in your voice and with your specifics, so the same page earns the Google ranking and the AI citation.

STEP 3 OF 5

When a buyer asks who is best, AI answers often lean on third-party sources, and Perplexity, ChatGPT search and Google's AI features usually show which ones. Across the prompt baseline, those citations form a map of who shapes opinion in your category, and each type needs a different approach. Review platforms need a complete profile and a steady flow of genuine reviews, within the FTC's 2024 rule on fake reviews. Editorial roundups need a pitch to the author with something new to add: fresh data, a product change, a customer willing to talk. Directories and associations need accurate, complete listings. Forums and communities need real participation from your team, never planted posts. And competitor pages that keep getting cited show which comparison content your own site is missing.

STEP 4 OF 5

Each month we rerun the prompt set and send dated screenshots of what each assistant says, with changes since the last run. Because Google counts clicks from AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search Console's Performance report, that traffic sits in the same numbers as the rest of organic search, and we report it against enquiries, pipeline and revenue. You see whether you are named, how often, and what it is worth.

Why choose Indexed

Why growth teams buy GEO services from Indexed

We can show you the answers. When we asked ChatGPT and Perplexity the questions our clients' buyers ask, our client came first in 7 of the 10 answers we checked: an industrial shed manufacturer, a private equity database, an AI plan review tool, a visa eligibility platform and an RV storage company among them. That work runs on the Full-Stack Search Method, where technical SEO, content, link building and generative engine optimization are one senior-led program, not four vendors.

01

Recommended by name

When buyers ask an AI assistant who to choose, your brand is one of the names they hear.

02

A baseline from week one

You know which prompts matter, who is named today and where you stand before work starts.

03

Rankings that rise too

Work that earns AI citations also lifts your Google rankings, so the budget pays twice.

04

One team, one plan

SEO and GEO come from one senior-led team, so nobody argues over who owns indexing, content or links.

Before you ask

Answered.

How much do GEO services cost?
You can start with the AEO Sprint, a $2,000, 30-day project where a senior specialist finds your gaps, builds the plan with your team and ships the quick wins. Ongoing GEO is part of the full-stack managed service, which starts from $2,500 per month and includes SEO, content, link building and reporting. Prices are in USD.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO services?
SEO services aim to rank your pages in search results. GEO services aim to get your brand named inside AI-written answers. The two share a foundation: Google says its AI features use pages that are indexed and snippet-eligible, the same requirement as search. GEO adds prompt tracking, answer-first content and a focus on the third-party sources AI answers cite, which is why we sell them together.
Do I need llms.txt or special schema for GEO?
No. Google's guidance says no new machine-readable files or special markup are needed to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. Structured data can still help search engines understand a page, and an llms.txt file is cheap to publish, but neither is a shortcut into AI answers. Crawl access, clear answers and a strong off-site reputation matter far more.
How long do GEO services take to show results?
Access and eligibility fixes can take effect as soon as pages are recrawled. Content and off-site work take longer, because AI systems have to find the new pages and mentions. We rerun your prompt set every month so you can see movement as it happens, but timelines depend on your category, your starting point and how competitive the answers are.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can. AI answers vary by user, location and run, and no agency controls them. What we can show is the method and the record on this page, and after the baseline we will tell you honestly how realistic the prompts you care about are.
Do you need access to our website and analytics?
It helps. Read access to Search Console and Google Analytics shows us what already earns traffic and enquiries, and CMS access, or a named contact on your web team, lets us ship fixes rather than hand over a list. If you prefer to keep access in house, we can work through your developers.
Which GEO deliverables should I be wary of?
Visibility scores you cannot trace to real answers, rewrites that chop pages into short "chunks" for AI, mass produced AI articles published to cover every prompt, and paid placements on "best of" lists that are not disclosed as sponsored. Google's <a href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ai-features" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI features guidance</a> is short and worth reading before you sign anything.
