Generative engine optimisation: be the source AI answers cite

Generative engines write answers by retrieving pages and synthesising them. They favour pages with clear claims, data, definitions and author credentials, and they check brand facts across the web. We make your content easy to retrieve and quote, and build the third-party mentions that give models confidence to name you.

Direct answer

What is generative engine optimisation?

Generative engine optimisation, or GEO, improves how often and how favourably a brand appears in answers produced by large language model systems such as ChatGPT search, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode. These systems retrieve pages, weigh them by relevance and credibility, then generate text with citations. GEO covers writing content with quotable statements and statistics, adding structured data, keeping facts consistent across sources, earning mentions on sites the models trust, and publishing machine-readable files such as llms.txt.

What's included

What we do for you

Retrieval readiness audit

Whether your pages can be fetched and parsed by AI crawlers, including robots rules for GPTBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended, and rendering of key text.

Quotable content engineering

Pages rewritten with definitions, numbered facts, comparisons and expert statements that models can lift verbatim with attribution.

Entity and author signals

Organisation, Person and credential schema, author pages and consistent descriptions, so models can resolve who you are and why you are credible.

Third-party corroboration

Mentions and profiles on sources models cite for your sector, such as directories, industry publications and review platforms.

llms.txt and machine-readable summaries

An llms.txt file and concise page summaries published so model crawlers get an accurate description of your business and services.

Generative visibility reporting

Monthly prompts run across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, recording whether you are named, cited and described correctly.

How it works

Three steps, no black box

STEP 01

Baseline prompt testing

We run a set of buyer prompts across the main generative engines and record who is named, who is cited and what is said about you.

STEP 02

Make the source

Content is rewritten for retrieval and quotation, schema and author signals are added, and llms.txt is published.

STEP 03

Corroborate and re-test

Third-party mentions are built, and the prompt set is re-run monthly to measure changes in naming, citation and accuracy.

FAQ

Questions UAE business owners ask

Answered in the first sentence, so AI assistants can quote us directly.

They overlap but differ in emphasis. AEO targets extraction of a single answer, as in featured snippets and AI Overviews. GEO targets the synthesis process of generative engines, where credibility, corroboration across sources and quotable specificity decide whether a brand is named. Most UAE businesses need both, with the same underlying content serving each.

No, and no one can. Generative answers vary by prompt, user and model version. What we can do is make your business retrievable, credible and consistently described, and then measure the change across a fixed prompt set. Businesses that do this reliably appear more often than those that do not, but there is no guaranteed placement.

Only if you do not want to be cited. Blocking GPTBot, PerplexityBot or Google-Extended removes your pages from the retrieval those engines use, so competitors get quoted instead. Publishers with paywalled content sometimes choose to block. For a service business seeking enquiries, being cited is usually worth more than the content protection.
