Generative Engine Optimization Services

Search is changing fast. Today, nearly 80% of online sessions begin with AI-powered search tools. Generative AI search platforms, such as Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT, are capturing more user attention. Is your brand being cited, or ignored?

Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the practice of uniquely optimizing content to appear in AI-generated answers or summaries, so your brand gets noticed where users are searching.

What Is GEO?

A generative engine optimization strategy is all about creating content that’s more likely to be surfaced, cited or summarized by today’s most popular AI engines and algorithms, including:

  • Google’s Gemini, AI Overviews and AI Mode.
  • ChatGPT.
  • Meta AI.
  • Perplexity.
  • Copilot.
  • And more.

That said, Google still dominates at a scale 373x larger than ChatGPT. The bulk of a solid generative engine optimization strategy isn’t far from home if you already have an SEO plan in place.

At a high level, GEO blends core SEO elements with content design and semantic depth. Strategies vary between businesses and target audiences, but generally, content that’s well-optimized for AI is:

  1. Structured for machine readability.
  2. Written for both AI and human users.
  3. Covers topics comprehensively and contextually.
  4. Demonstrates expertise and trustworthiness.

Traditional SEO metrics like rankings and clicks no longer tell the full story. At the heart of this shift is smarter reporting. Brafton’s data-driven approach goes beyond conventional KPIs to track performance where it counts, helping you prove real value to clients in an AI-first search landscape, through:

  1. AI citation presence.
  2. Zero-click visibility indicators (i.e., brand recall, session depth).

How To Know If You Need GEO Services

There are more reasons your brand may need professional GEO services beyond ‘We’re not featured in Google’s AI Overviews or other generative engines’ — although that is a great place to start.

If any of these ring true for your brand, GEO services may be just what you need:

1. Your Organic Traffic Is Flat or Declining

SEO alone isn’t keeping pace with shifting user behavior toward AI-assisted search. Optimizing for AI ensures you stay ahead of the competition and do not fall behind.

2. You Rely Heavily on Informational Content

A vast majority of AI queries serve informational user intent. If your success depends on content that generative engines now summarize frequently, there’s plenty of SERP real estate to win to drive brand awareness.

3. You Have Authoritative Content That’s Invisible

High-quality assets that showcase authority are ripe for picking for AI crawlers. If yours aren’t being surfaced or cited by AI models, there’s a fixable reason.

4. Your Brand Has a Thought Leadership Gap

Your brand has valuable expertise, but AI hasn’t fully recognized you as an authority in your niche. With the right GEO strategy, you can transform passive awareness into proactive trust and influence.

5. Search Queries About You Return Third-Party Info

If AI engines cite aggregators or reviews and not your own site, there’s ample opportunity to enhance your own content footprint.

6. You Want to Future-Proof Your Digital Presence

If you recognize that traditional SEO alone isn’t enough for what’s coming next, you’re already ahead of the curve. Embracing a forward-looking approach now means you’ll stay competitive as AI-generated search becomes the norm.
