Be the brand
AI remembers
by name.

> When a buyer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, the model either names you — or it doesn't. We shape what AI says about your category, so your brand is the one it pulls from memory.

// SECTION 02 — WHY IT MATTERS

AI is the new word of mouth

Models name brands from memory — not from live search. If your brand isn't in the training data, you're invisible at recommendation time.

GEO is reputation
at model scale.

Generative Engine Optimisation is the work of shaping how AI talks about your category. Not "do we show up in the sources" — but "does the model name us at all when nobody clicks a link."

Models learn from what the internet says — press, reviews, structured data, repeated mentions across trusted publications. The brands that dominate those signals become the ones AI pulls from memory when buyers ask for a recommendation.

We run this as a white-labelled partnership with Authority Builders, one of the top AI visibility operators globally. You get their publisher network, their playbook, and our strategy team running it end-to-end.

// SECTION 03 — WHAT WE DO

the five pillars

AI Audit · Content Refresh · Authority Links · Earned Media · Reviews. Five workstreams, one visibility engine.

Foundational AI Audit

Where do you show up? Where don't you? We scan ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews across hundreds of buying-intent queries and map the gap.

  • Cross-platform visibility scan (4 engines, 100+ queries)
  • Competitor citation comparison
  • Source-of-truth audit — which publications AI trusts for your niche
  • Schema + entity markup review
  • llms.txt + crawler accessibility checks
  • Content gap + refresh priority list
  • Baseline Atlas report + monthly re-scan

Typical lift

Most brands are invisible in 60–80% of their category's AI queries. The audit surfaces exactly where to intervene first.

Content Refresh

AI answers get pulled from clear, structured, current content. We rewrite your money pages so they're the cleanest source in the room.

  • Money-page rewrites for AI ingestion
  • Clear definitional answers + structured facts
  • Schema.org deployment per template
  • Statistic + data sourcing with citations
  • Entity + topical depth expansion
  • FAQ + Q&A content blocks
  • Date freshness + version control

Typical lift

Content refresh alone surfaces pages in AI answers within 30–60 days. Biggest gains on pages with strong SEO signal but weak AI ingestion.

High Authority Links

Models are trained on a small list of publications they actually trust. We land you on that list — with editorial placements, not paid slots.

  • DR 60+ editorial placements
  • Exclusive publisher network access (via Authority Builders)
  • Topic relevance + context match
  • Brand mention conversion
  • Broken-link reclamation on trusted sites
  • Competitor backlink gap targeting
  • No PBNs, no shortcuts, no grey hat

Typical lift

We target the exact publications AI models cite. Links here compound into AI trust signals faster than traditional SEO backlinks.

Earned Media

PR placements in publications AI models are trained on — Forbes, TechCrunch, WSJ, category-defining trade press. Earned, not paid.

  • Journalist relationship outreach
  • Press-worthy angle development
  • Founder / exec quote placement
  • Data-led stories + original research pitches
  • Tier-1 + trade publication targeting
  • HARO + Qwoted rapid-response
  • Follow-up coverage + amplification

Typical lift

Earned placements in AI-trained publications are the most compounding signal we can buy. One Forbes feature can seed citations for years.

Review & Reputation

AI weighs review velocity, sentiment, and response quality as trust signals. We build the system that keeps all three trending up.

  • Review generation systems (email + SMS flows)
  • Response + escalation SOPs
  • Google + industry-specific platform management
  • Sentiment monitoring across AI-visible channels
  • Case study + testimonial production
  • Founder + exec public profile work
  • Reputation recovery if needed

Typical lift

Review velocity is one of the fastest-moving AI trust signals. We've doubled review counts in 90 days on most accounts — consideration follows.

// SECTION 07 — FAQ

questions we get

How long until AI starts naming our brand?+

First mentions typically land in 60–90 days after content refresh + initial authority work. Meaningful presence in the models' "from memory" answers compounds over 4–6 months as models retrain and ingest new signal. If anyone promises instant brand recall, run.

Which AI platforms do you target?+

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. We track how each names brands in your category weekly. Signal varies per model — we focus on where your buyers actually ask.

What's the difference between GEO and AEO?+

AEO gets you cited — listed in the sources when AI shows its work. GEO gets you named — pulled from the model's memory when nobody clicks a source. AEO wins the research query; GEO wins the recommendation query. Most brands need both.

Do you guarantee brand mentions?+

No, and neither should anyone else. Models change constantly and training data is opaque. What we guarantee: the work, the transparency, and reporting that shows exactly where your brand is being named week over week.

Do reviews really matter for AI?+

Massively. AI models lean on third-party reviews as a shortcut for trust and recall — especially for consumer, local, and service categories. Doubling review count in 90 days is usually our fastest-moving lever for brand recognition.

How do you report AI visibility?+

Weekly Loom walkthroughs + a live Atlas-style dashboard tracking brand mentions across all five major AI platforms. Monthly board-ready PDF with wins, lost ground, experiments and next month's plan.
