Generative Engine Optimization

IN SHORT

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your content, entities, and authority signals so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your business in their answers. SEO gets you on page one; GEO gets you into the answer itself.

THE PROBLEM

Your customers stopped scrolling results — they're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini who to hire. If AI assistants don't know your business exists, you're invisible to a fast-growing slice of your market. Most agencies can't even measure this channel; we optimize for it.

THE WAVE9 DIFFERENCE

We measure a channel most agencies can't even see — real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, tracked monthly.

WHO IT’S FOR

Businesses already ranking (or investing) in classic SEO who want first-mover advantage in AI search, local service brands whose customers ask AI 'who's the best X near me,' and marketing leads who need AI visibility measured, not guessed.

HOW WE DO IT
PHASE /01

AI Visibility Audit

We test what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude actually say about you and your competitors across real buyer prompts — your baseline.

PHASE /02

Entity & Crawler Readiness

Fix AI-crawler access (GPTBot, PerplexityBot), schema, and entity signals so LLMs can find, parse, and trust your site.

PHASE /03

Citation Engineering

Restructure content into answer-first, statistics-backed, quotable passages and seed authority mentions where LLMs source from.

PHASE /04

Monitor & Expand

Monthly AI share-of-voice tracking — citations won, sentiment, AI-referral traffic — then scale into new prompt territories.

QUESTIONS

ASKED &
ANSWERED.

Yes. AI assistants pull from crawlable content, reviews, and entity data. Structuring those signals correctly measurably increases how often you're cited — and we track it monthly across four engines.

SEO earns rankings on results pages; GEO earns citations inside AI-generated answers. They share about 80% of their foundation, and strong SEO feeds GEO — 92% of AI answer citations come from top-ranking domains.

No. GEO compounds on SEO rather than replacing it. Because most AI citations come from top-10 ranking pages, the two disciplines reinforce each other — we run them as one system.
