generative engine optimization

Does ChatGPT know about your business or service?

70% of Google searches now send zero clicks to websites

What Are GEO & AGO Consulting Services?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI Generation Optimization (AGO) consulting helps your business adapt to the fundamental shift in how people search and discover information online. While traditional SEO focused on ranking for clicks, GEO ensures your content gets cited in AI-generated answers, and AGO gets your brand mentioned directly as part of the solution.

 

If your traffic has dropped despite strong rankings, or if you're invisible when potential customers ask AI tools about your industry, you need GEO & AGO optimization now.

 

Why Your SEO Strategy Stopped Working Overnight?

 

Because the fundamental assumption it's built on—that people click through to websites—no longer holds true in an AI-first search world.

  • Close to 70% of Google searches now result in zero clicks to websites

  • AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews answer questions directly without sending users to your site

  • Your perfectly optimized, first-page ranking content is now being summarized and paraphrased by AI—with or without attribution

  • Traditional ranking factors like keywords, backlinks, and meta descriptions are becoming less relevant when AI acts as the intermediary

You could have the number one ranking page for your target keyword, but if AI summarizes your content instead of linking to it, you get nothing. Your years of SEO work are being rendered invisible overnight.

 

Our brand strategy framework includes:
 

  • Positioning – defining where you stand in your market and why it matters.

  • Narrative – crafting the story that connects emotionally and intellectually with your audience.

  • Naming – creating memorable, meaningful names that fit your voice and future vision.

  • Identity – translating strategy into visuals: logo systems, color palettes, typography, and imagery.

  • Messaging Hierarchy – establishing how your messages scale across platforms and audiences.

  • Brand Playbooks – documenting every rule, tone, and principle so your team communicates with unity and confidence.


When you lead with strategy, design becomes obvious.
Your color palette makes sense. Your tone feels authentic. Your marketing aligns with your mission. You stop reacting—and start leading.

SEO vs GEO vs AGO

Understanding these three optimization approaches is critical for surviving and thriving in the AI search era.
 

Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

  • Goal: Rank high in search results in google to earn clicks

  • Method: Adding Keywords to your site, backlinks, technical optimization, google adwords

  • Outcome: Clicks to your website

  • Status in 2025: Still the foundation, but no longer sufficient alone
     

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

  • Goal: Be cited as an authoritative source within AI-generated answers

  • Method: Restructure online content, answer, have authority signals

  • Outcome: Citations and references when AI responds to queries

  • Status in 2025: Critical
     

AGO (Answer Generation Optimization)

  • Goal: Get your brand mentioned directly in AI responses as part of the solution

  • Method: Brand authority building, consistent mentions across the web, 

  • Outcome: Direct brand recommendations without explicit links

  • Status in 2025: The highest level of AI trust and visibility

When someone asks ChatGPT "What's the best email marketing tool for creators?", AGO optimization means the AI responds with "xyz software is excellent for creators because of their visual automation builder and creator-focused features" rather than just providing a generic list.

SEO aims for clicks. GEO aims for citations. AGO aims for mentions. In the AI era, you need all three working together, but GEO and AGO are now your competitive moat.
