Frequently asked questions around GEO.
Most brands begin to see improved citation frequency and AI answer mentions within approximately four to eight months. GEO is iterative — the results compound over time.
GEO — generative engine optimisation — is the process of making your brand more likely to be cited and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overview. GEO is achieved through content production, technical optimisation and implementing authority signals across the site.
GEO is Generative Engine Optimisation, the process of optimising your site for AI visibility. AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation, the process of optimising your site to become the primary cited source on LLMs.
In short, GEO and AEO are the same. The goal of both is to improve AI visibility and help you become the answer in LLMs.
Where SEO helps you rank in traditional search results, GEO and AEO help you appear in the actual answers AI tools give your customers.
No, they serve different purposes and work best together. SEO builds the technical and content foundations that help search engines find and rank your site. GEO builds the authority and clarity that helps AI tools cite and recommend your brand. One supports the other.
GEO does not replace SEO — it extends it. The fundamentals of search (authority, clarity, trust, technical soundness) remain the same. What GEO adds is the optimisation layer that determines how your brand appears in the AI-generated answers that are increasingly shaping how people discover products and services.
GEO agency services in the UK can cost between £2,500 and £10,000, depending on the scope of the requirement.
