Today, the decisive question is no longer just which position a website ranks for – but whether a brand appears in the answers of Large Language Models (LLMs) and is perceived by AI systems as a relevant source.
As a GEO agency, we support companies in strategically and sustainably building exactly this new form of visibility.
GEO, LLMO, GAIO: What lies behind these terms
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), also known as LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization), GAIO (Generative AI Optimization), or AI-SEO, refers to the targeted optimization of brand and content presence in AI-powered search systems and search results.
Why this matters: Users are increasingly searching for answers directly within AI systems without browsing traditional search results. Those who fail to appear there lose visibility and relevance.

Brand & Source Analysis: Your starting point for AI Search success
Before you can become visible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI Mode, one thing must be clear: Is your brand already taking place there – and if so, how? That is exactly where we start with SEOrenity AI, our proprietary AI Brand Monitoring tool.
With our tool, you get answers to these and numerous other questions that flow directly into your individual GEO strategy:
AI Visibility of Your Brand: Whether and in what context your brand appears in LLM responses.
Relevant Source Pages for LLMs: Which websites and URLs AI systems prefer as sources in your topic environment – and whether your brand is mentioned there.
Highlighting Gaps: In which important AI sources your brand is still missing and where Digital PR can hook in.
What truly matters when optimizing for generative AI systems
Below is a selection of proven GEO measures. Spoiler: Even in the AI era, there is no way around solid SEO basics and classic optimization work.
Top rankings in Google (and Bing) are often a prerequisite for being cited in AI-supported search results and AI Overviews. Studies show a high correlation between ranking position and selection as a source in LLMs such as ChatGPT Search or AI Overviews. For generating AI Overviews, for example, top search results for the query form the basis.
LLMs like ChatGPT rely on indexed content in Bing or Google when generating answers. Technical accessibility of your pages is therefore essential:
Ensure crawlability and accessibility: Relevant pages must not be excluded from crawling by LLM bots or search engine bots via robots.txt and must return HTTP status code 200.
Ensure indexation of your most important pages and their content in Google and Bing, and review regularly.
Content should be available even without JavaScript, because apart from Google Gemini and AppleBot, none of the major AI crawlers render JavaScript currently.
Optimize page load and render times: AI crawlers sometimes have very short render timeouts (1-5 seconds).
How can web pages be optimized for AI-assisted search results? Here are several proven measures:
Include a kind of "Executive Summary", e.g. to be cited as a source with a URL in AI Overviews.
Create high-quality, topically relevant content with high information density and data, facts, figures. Expert content that addresses the needs and pain points of your target audience, answers them, and delivers real added value. Whenever possible, reliable and trustworthy sources should be linked in the text to underline credibility and authenticity.
Optimize readability and choose clear, simple language so content is understandable and easy to grasp for users and AI models. Get to the point instead of beating around the bush. Clearly structured content, a clean headline hierarchy, lists, bullet points, and FAQs can additionally contribute to better readability.
Multimodality: AI search is multimodal, so content should be specifically complemented with high-quality images and videos.
Valid Structured Data (schema.org) helps AI systems better parse and understand content. Important: Only content visible to users on the page and matching the page may be marked up with schema.org.
Ensure an outstanding Page Experience (UX): Not only content must convince; load time, mobile friendliness, site architecture, and user guidance also play a central role.
AI systems prefer brands they classify as trustworthy and authoritative. These factors are often not directly measurable, which is why the E-E-A-T concept (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) serves as a guiding framework. It summarizes the core quality signals that contribute to a brand being recognized as a reliable source and cited more frequently in AI-assisted search results.
When generating answers, AI models frequently draw on content from third-party sites like aggregators, trade directories, or specialized databases. To increase the chance of being named as a brand or product in AI-generated responses, presence on these platforms or source pages is crucial.
This is precisely where the AI Brand Monitoring Tool and Digital PR measures from ONE Beyond Search kick in. They help you systematically build and protect mentions on source pages relevant to your business.
Offpage SEO in times of AI: Links AND Mentions
The more present a brand or product is across various channels, platforms, and relevant websites, the higher the chance of being referenced by ChatGPT & Co. AI visibility is created by brand mentions, not just classic backlinks.

Frequently asked questions
AI is changing SEO, but SEO remains important and is far from dead. AI increasingly takes over repetitive tasks, giving SEOs more time for strategic considerations. The focus remains on high-quality, in-depth content, technical SEO, and strong brand building.
Brands must also be discoverable and present in Large Language Models (LLMs). Here, SEOs can make an important contribution. Particularly because models like Gemini utilize the top search results of a query for grounding (RAG), answer generation, and source attribution. Anyone invisible in classic search results risks failing to take place in AI answers as well, at least in the short and medium term. SEO is evolving, but it remains essential.
Ensure the agency understands GEO not as a buzzword, but as a strategic evolution of SEO. A good GEO agency possesses sound SEO expertise, as many measures overlap.
Equally important is practical experience with LLMs and AI features. Since many mechanics are still changing, continuous testing, monitoring, and correctly classifying developments are crucial – not theoretical promises.
In short: The right GEO agency combines proven principles from the SEO world with a deep understanding of AI-assisted search.
No – GEO is not identical to SEO, but overlaps with it in many areas. Many GEO measures are based on classic SEO fundamentals. And: AI-assisted systems like AI Mode or AI Overviews frequently draw on content that already ranks well in classic Google Search when generating responses.
The main difference lies in the goal: While SEO primarily aims to achieve top rankings in search engines, GEO focuses on whether and in what context a brand appears in the answers of generative AI systems or is cited as a source.
Anyone wanting to be visible in AI-powered search needs both – solid SEO and a targeted GEO strategy.
