The problems that bring brands to us

Almost nobody wakes up wanting generative engine optimization. They notice something specific has gone wrong.

All of it comes down to what AI systems can find about you, understand about you, and trust about you. Every service below exists to move one of those three.

  • Rankings held steady but traffic keeps sliding, because an AI answer now sits above the links.
  • Ask ChatGPT for the best option in your category and it recommends competitors, with your name nowhere.
  • AI tools describe your business with old pricing, services you dropped years ago, or a competitor blended into your story.
  • Leads show up already briefed by an AI conversation you never saw and cannot read.
  • Nobody on the team can say how often AI mentions the brand, so nobody can say if it is getting better or worse.

What is generative engine optimization

What generative engine optimization is

Generative engine optimization is the work of getting a brand found, understood, and cited by AI systems, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot, so it shows up in the answers people act on.

Pew Research tracked real browsing behavior across 68,879 Google searches. Question style searches triggered an AI summary 60 percent of the time. When one appeared, clicks on regular results dropped from 15 percent to 8 percent, and only 1 percent of people clicked the sources inside the summary. The visit you used to win with a ranking now often ends inside the answer, so what the answer says about you is the thing worth competing for.

Generative engine optimization services we offer

icon AI visibility audit

AI visibility audit

A baseline of where you stand today. We run the prompts your buyers use across ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot, record who gets named and cited, and document what each model believes about your business, including the parts it gets wrong.

icon Prompt and question research

Prompt and question research

Keyword research, rebuilt for conversations. We map what your buyers type into a chat box, the best options in the category, alternatives to the market leader, your brand name next to the word reviews, and the how do I choose questions that come right before a purchase. Each prompt gets matched to a page that deserves to be the answer.

icon ai 3

Content engineered to be cited

AI systems quote pages that answer directly, state facts plainly, and back claims with specifics. We write and restructure your pages that way, answers first, original numbers where you have them, and clean question and answer coverage a model can lift whole.

icon front end technical

Schema, entities, and technical access

Structured data that tells models exactly who you are, what you sell, and what it costs, kept consistent across the site. Crawler access opened and verified for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest, with content that renders without JavaScript tricks hiding it. Our technical SEO audits catch what blocks retrieval.

icon ai web

Mentions in the sources AI trusts

Pew found Wikipedia, YouTube, and Reddit are the most cited sources in AI summaries. Models also lean on review platforms, industry lists, and publications. We work to get your brand into the third party sources models already trust, because your own website is only one voice in the answer.

icon system monitoring

AI visibility tracking and reporting

A tracked prompt set run on a schedule, so you see mentions, citations, and share of voice against competitors move month over month, next to AI referral traffic in your analytics. You get a number for something most teams cannot measure at all.

Where AI answers come from

Where AI answers come from

There is no separate AI internet. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot run live web searches and read the pages that rank. Google builds AI Overviews and AI Mode from its own index. When a model answers a buying question, it is retrieving pages, weighing which ones to trust, and assembling what they say.

That has two consequences. A brand that cannot rank cannot be retrieved, so GEO is built on the same foundations as real SEO, clean structure, fast pages, and content worth citing. And a brand that only invests in its own website misses half the answer, because models cross check what your site claims against what reviews, communities, and publications say about you.

We have built and ranked sites since 2009, and we run SEO campaigns and GEO as one program, because they feed the same machine.

GEO AEO AI SEO

GEO, AEO, and AI SEO are the same job

Generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, AI SEO, LLM SEO, the industry has not settled on a name, and agencies sell the same work under all of them. We use GEO because it is the term that stuck first, and we care about what the work does, getting your brand named and cited in AI answers, not what it is called this quarter.

Our generative engine optimization process

STEP 04

Trusted Mentions

STEP 05

Monthly Share of Voice

The same prompt set runs again every month. You see mentions, citations, and recommendation wins move against named competitors, and the plan shifts toward whatever the numbers say is working.

When GEO is not worth buying

When GEO is not worth buying yet

If a site has thin content, technical problems, and few links, the models have nothing to retrieve and nothing to trust, and a GEO campaign would be decoration on a weak foundation. In that case we will tell you to start with an SEO campaign or a technical audit instead, and add the AI layer once there is something for the models to find. We sell both, so we have no reason to sell you the wrong order.

Working with the PixelChefs team was an absolute pleasure. From the start, they took the time to understand IMPOWER’s mission and translated that into a website that truly reflects who we are as a nonprofit. The entire process was smooth, organized, and collaborative — their communication was always clear, and they made thoughtful recommendations that helped us elevate both design and functionality. One of the biggest highlights was how seamless the handoff felt. PixelChefs empowered our team to easily manage updates on our end, and they were quick to respond to any questions along the way. It’s refreshing to work with a team that genuinely cares about the impact of their work. We’re thrilled with the final site and highly recommend PixelChefs to any organization looking for a partner who combines creativity, professionalism, and heart. - Anna Kesic, President/CEO, IMPOWER

Alex helped us with the complete redesign of our family business' website. His team not only did a great job with the aesthetics of the website but what I loved most about Alex is that he really understands how to design a beautiful website that also converts customers. He took the time to teach me why he was doing the things he was doing to my website which I loved. I feel like I got a crash course on website design from him. :D

Generative engine optimization FAQs

Generative engine optimization services are the work of getting a brand cited and recommended in AI generated answers across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot. In practice that means auditing current AI visibility, researching buyer prompts, structuring content to be quotable, fixing schema and crawler access, earning mentions in sources models trust, and tracking share of voice over time.

Both, honestly. The foundations overlap with SEO because AI systems retrieve from the same web index that search runs on. What is new is real, prompt research instead of only keywords, content structured for quotation, third party mentions weighted differently, and a measurement problem SEO never had. Anyone selling GEO as a replacement for SEO is selling the name, not the work.

We scope GEO the way we scope SEO, by competition and by how much of the foundation already exists, and most clients run it inside their SEO campaign rather than as a separate bill. Our SEO pricing page covers how monthly campaigns are priced and what the money buys.

It varies by system. AI Overviews can change within weeks of the underlying pages improving, and ChatGPT and Perplexity answers shift as your pages and third party mentions change, since they search the live web. Brand knowledge baked into a model during training moves slowest. We track your prompt set monthly so progress shows up as numbers, not anecdotes.

Yes. AI systems retrieve pages that rank and trust sites that demonstrate authority, so the SEO work is what makes the GEO work possible. Running them as one program costs less and moves faster than bolting one onto the other.

No, and nobody can, the models decide. What we control is everything that feeds the decision, your retrievability, how clearly your pages answer, and how often trusted sources mention you. Then we show you the recommendation rate moving in the monthly numbers.

A fixed set of prompts for your category runs on a schedule across the major systems. We record when you are mentioned, when you are cited, and who wins the recommendation, then report it as share of voice next to AI referral sessions in your analytics. Same prompts every month, so the trend is real.

The models already picked somebody

Most categories do not have a winner in AI answers yet. The recommendations are being handed out by default, to whoever the models happen to find. Send us your site and we will show you who is getting yours.
