GEO · Get your brand named when buyers ask AI for a recommendation.

Generative Engine Optimization

The half of our service that gets you mentioned. We measure what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Copilot and Claude say when buyers ask for providers in your category — then make your brand the one they name, with consistent brand facts and credible third-party mentions.

In short

GEO is the practice of making a brand and its content more likely to be mentioned and cited in answers produced by generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews. ArtherNeX's GEO work aims to improve your brand named in AI answers to the questions your buyers ask, chosen over competitors in AI shortlists and comparisons and a measured, repeatable view of AI visibility per platform…

Who it is for

B2B brands whose buyers ask AI platforms for recommendations, comparisons and shortlists, and teams that want evidence of whether and how they appear in those answers today. Platforms covered: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Google AI Overviews / AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and Claude — each measured separately, because each retrieves and cites differently.

What is GEO?

GEO is the practice of making a brand and its content more likely to be mentioned and cited in answers produced by generative AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews.

Unlike classic ranking, a generative answer is composed from several sources, so GEO works on being a clear, consistent, verifiable source: unambiguous entity information, well-structured pages, third-party corroboration and content that directly answers buyer questions. Results are observed by asking the platforms real questions and recording mentions and citations, which vary by wording, time and location.

  • Inconsistent company facts across your site, directories and profiles
  • Important information locked in images, PDFs or scripts AI crawlers cannot read
  • No credible third-party sources describing the brand

How an engagement runs

  1. Step 01

    Audit

    Ask the platforms your buyers' real prompts and record every answer: who is named, who is cited, where you are missing. Check entity consistency, source credibility and technical discovery barriers (robots.txt, CDN rules, accessibility).

  2. Step 02

    Track

    Fix a repeatable prompt set from industry, products, competitors, markets and buyer intent; record actual responses, mentions and citations per platform every month (weekly on Enterprise).

  3. Step 03

    Optimize

    Consistent brand facts everywhere the platforms look, credible third-party mentions, and buyer-intent content — comparisons, solution pages, implementation guides — built to be recommended.

  4. Step 04

    Report

    Re-run the same prompts on the same platforms in the same markets; report mention share, competitor mentions, cited URLs and changes over time, in plain English.

How results are measured

Indicators: share of tracked prompts with a brand mention; share of tracked answers citing the brand's website; competitor mentions across the same prompt set; number of unique cited URLs; changes in answers over time; recommended actions and work completed. The prompt set, markets, platforms and dates stay fixed between measurements. A mention rate is a sampled observation, not an official AI ranking.

Realistic expectations

No one controls what an AI platform recommends, and a single answer does not represent universal visibility. Responses vary with wording, time, location and account context. GEO improves the clarity, credibility and accessibility of your information so that it can be recommended; mentions and citations are observed and reported, never guaranteed.
