What do Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) services include? The work that helps ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews select and cite your brand.
Core services: an AI visibility baseline, entity resolution and schema, answer-first content, citation-building PR and conversational query mapping.
Most programs add an answer hub, structured data that matches the visible text and a monthly citation report.
Ask any GEO provider for a baseline, a page list and the metrics they will report before work starts.

Why this matters
Knowing what GEO means is not the same as knowing what to buy. B2B teams comparing GEO providers need a clear list of deliverables, so they can check scope, cost and results before signing. GEO work aims to increase how often generative engines select and cite a brand in their answers.
Step-by-step
- AI visibility baseline: Test the buyer questions you want to own in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and record where the brand is cited, missing or misdescribed.
- Entity resolution: Make the company name, services, industries and markets consistent across the website, profiles and directories.
- Schema and structured data: Add Organization, Service, FAQ and Article markup that matches the visible text on each page.
- Answer-first content: Build an answer hub where each priority question gets a direct answer, clear headings and self-contained sections.
- Citation-building PR: Earn mentions in press releases, research and trusted third-party sources that AI answers can ground on.
- Conversational query mapping: Cover the follow-up, comparison and supplier-shortlist questions buyers ask, not only short keywords.
- Reporting and refresh: Report citations, answer inclusion and enquiries each month, then update pages as AI features change.
