Google is no longer enough

Why your website must appear in AI answers

The way people search for information is fundamentally changing. Instead of manually scanning a long list of search results, they get a single answer straight from an AI. If you're not in that answer, a potential customer may never hear about you.

How search has changed

Not long ago the rule was simple: whoever ranks first on Google wins. Today more and more customers ask AI assistants directly: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity or Copilot. They don't get a list of links, they get a finished answer: a specific recommendation of a company, product or service. On top of that, Google itself now shows AI Overviews above the classic results. Being “just” well ranked in a search engine no longer means being seen.

What it means to be discoverable by AI

It's called GEO: Generative Engine Optimization. While classic SEO fights for a position in a list of results, GEO has a single goal: for AI to understand your website, trust it and cite it in its answers. AI assistants pick sources with a clean technical structure, clearly described services, verifiable facts about the company and content that directly answers people's questions.

How we do it

Structured data (schema.org)

AI and Google know exactly who you are, what you do and where you operate.

llms.txt file

A clear summary of your website made directly for AI models and their crawlers.

Access for AI crawlers

We configure your website so that the bots of ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity can read and index it.

Semantic structure and speed

Clean code, logical headings and instant loading, the foundation without which AI won't process your content.

Content AI can cite

We write copy as direct answers to your customers' questions: specific, factual and easy for AI to verify.

Classic SEO included

GEO doesn't replace SEO, it builds on it. Sitemap, meta data, Open Graph and multilingual support are a given.

What you get out of it

When your customer asks an AI about a solution you offer, your company can appear right in the answer, with a name, a description and a link. You gain a new source of customers and a head start over competitors who aren't paying attention to AI search yet.

Frequently asked questions

Does GEO replace classic SEO?

No. GEO builds on SEO: a solid technical foundation and quality content help you both in Google and in AI answers. We do both at once.

How do I find out if AI recommends me?

Ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity about services in your field and region. If your company doesn't appear in the answers, it's time to change that.

How long until my website appears in AI answers?

AI models and their search bots index continuously. First results usually show within weeks to months. Like SEO, it's a long-term investment.

Does it work for small businesses too?

Yes, often even better. AI answers favour clearly described, specialized companies with a specific location, exactly where a small business can get ahead of a big one.

What if I already have a website?

We can prepare an existing website for AI search: we add structured data, llms.txt, adjust the content and technical setup. Get in touch and we'll prepare an audit.
