The shift

Fewer Google searches and more AI recommendations

When a B2B or B2C buyer puts a question to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Grok, the AI answers right away with its sources cited. If your site cannot be read by those models, you are simply not in the answer. You lose the sale before the click.

We also follow the engines with smaller market share, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok and DeepSeek, which are already part of the tools your customers use.

Three layers, one system

GEO and AEO: organic search is still the foundation

Everything starts with classic search. When an AI model searches the web, it queries a search engine and cites what it finds there: Bing for Copilot, Google for Gemini, Brave for Claude, and for ChatGPT its own index, topped up with Google results fetched by subcontractors (companies under contract to OpenAI). For an AI to cite your content, the site has to be indexed in those engines, structured and fast. Google still sends about 345 times more traffic than ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity combined (Ahrefs, 2025). We work the three layers together to bring your cost of acquisition down.

SEO, the foundation

Indexing, technical performance, relevance and authority. That is the price of entry. Without a healthy SEO base, the rest has no room to sell.

AEO, being the answer

Answer Engine Optimization covers featured snippets, answer boxes, FAQs and voice search. We structure your content so it answers the buyer's question immediately.

GEO, being the source that gets cited

Generative Engine Optimization sets out to make you the source cited in generated answers: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and the rest. We work on how your brand appears inside the answer itself, beyond the results page.

What sits behind it

Which search engine feeds which AI

An assistant does not roam the web while it is talking to you. It sends your question to a search engine, reads the pages it is shown, and cites those. Knowing which search engine each assistant uses tells you exactly where your site has to be indexed.

ClaudeAnthropic

Brave Search

An index almost nobody watches, and it decides what you look like inside Claude. Claude searches in Brave: what that changes about getting cited

Sources: Anthropic's public list of subcontractors (companies contracted to provide an index), where Brave Search has appeared since March 2025; OpenAI's documentation on its crawlers; sworn testimony from the head of ChatGPT, May 2025; a reading of 1,249 ChatGPT answers by the agency Resoneo, August 2026; Google's “Grounding with Google Search” documentation; Microsoft, on the role of Bing's index in its answers, May 2026. Data verified on 6 September 2026.

Brave Search is the least known of the four engines. It belongs to the maker of the Brave browser. It builds its own index of the web rather than using Google's or Bing's, and it decides what Claude sees of your company.

None of these indexes can be worked with writing tricks. That is why an AI visibility engagement starts with search.

Our approach

A road map for GEO that holds up

GEO is where SEO leads. We have been structuring content for AI since 2023. We have run GEO and AEO engagements on sites of every size, complex catalogues and heavily technical environments included. It is work we do every week.

Senior experts. The two partners run the engagements. You talk straight to the people doing the work.

The data side stays in house. Analysis, profitability measurement and optimization are part of the execution. We do them in house, with heavy use of AI and a partner who checks and signs off.

Tied to sales. We know the technical work, and we go further: every optimization is tied to a precise business goal, B2B leads or eCommerce sales.

A boutique agency on purpose. We take at most sixteen growth engagements at a time, one client per industry. That exclusivity is what guarantees the level of follow-up.

First step

Where are you losing leads today?

Before any optimization, we establish where your brand sits along that search path. The GEO audit is a deliverable for a management team that wants to decide with numbers.

It is an honest starting point. At the end you know exactly what to fix, and what fixing it can bring back in sales.

What the audit reveals

Where your brand shows up, or fails to, in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and AI Overviews, on the queries where buying intent is high.

The technical state of your site for AI crawlers: readability, heading structure, structured data, the llms.txt file, rendering, speed.

Your real share of voice against your competitors inside the generated answers.

A prioritized, costed action plan tied to your sales goals, ready to put in front of your leadership.

The work

Five fronts that make you the answer, and bring in leads

AI engines read your site differently from a human. They weigh its readability, the consistency of your entities, the reliability of your sources and the clarity of your answers. We act on each of those signals.

01

Readable to ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and the other engines

An llms.txt file, rendering and strict markup: we make sure the AI reads your catalogue or your services correctly.

02

eCommerce and B2B markup

We structure your data so the AI understands your prices, your stock and your expertise without ambiguity.

03

Content that answers first

Clear answers the AI can lift and cite to your leads at the moment they are ready to contact you.

04

Authority

Mentions, third-party sources, brand consistency across the web. Models cite content that is credible and well sourced first. A study from Princeton and Georgia Tech (the GEO study, KDD 2024) measured that adding figures and citations from reliable sources can raise visibility in AI answers by up to 40%. We reinforce your credibility on your site and beyond it.

05

Measurement and AI share of voice

We track citations, mentions and your share of the market with specialized tools, and we tie every action to closed sales or to revenue.

Five signals, one goal: being the answer the AI chooses to recommend to the buyer.

Difficult ground

eCommerce and large catalogues

This is where GEO gets hard, and where it pays most. Thousands of product pages, navigation several levels deep, technical constraints: on a large catalogue, the smallest weakness in readability costs sales across the whole site. We are used to these environments, heavily technical sites included.

+393%Traffic to retail sites coming from AI jumped year over year in Q1 2026, and by +693% over the 2025 holidays.Adobe Analytics
+42%That traffic now converts better than non-AI traffic. A year earlier it converted 38% worse.Adobe Analytics, March 2026
+50%Visitors referred by AI convert about half again as often as those from organic search, with an average order value 14% higher.Shopify
66%And yet product pages average only 66% machine readability. Between 30 and 40% of their revenue potential stays invisible to the models.Adobe Analytics

The sales opportunity is there, and most catalogues are still half invisible to AI. That is exactly the technical work we do.

Results

How we measure, spelled out

Generative search is recent. Today the industry cannot yet attribute a precise sale to an AI answer with full reliability. We measure what can be measured and we show it to you plainly. What each measurement tool sees, and what none of them sees, is set out in our comparison of the tools.

All of that tracking we do in house. It is what lets us adjust quickly when a model moves, and stay honest about what the revenue figures actually say.

01

Which queries we track. A list of twenty to forty queries with high buying intent, chosen with you at the start and frozen for the length of the engagement. A list that changes along the way no longer measures anything real.

02

How often. Every month, on ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and Google's overviews. It is a sample measurement rather than a rank: a generated answer varies from one session to the next, and an exact position in GEO does not exist.

03

What you receive, and in what form. A written reading: for each question, who is cited, in what terms, and what has moved since the month before. Plus the Google overviews you appear in, with the screenshot.

04

Traffic. Referral traffic coming from AI tools, and how well it turns into leads.

05

Sales. Your closed sales, tracked alongside in the CRM, knowing that direct attribution to a first AI touch is not yet an exact science.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions about GEO

What is GEO?

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, is the optimization of your visibility inside AI-generated answers. In practice, we structure your site and your content so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot, Grok, DeepSeek and AI Overviews cite you as a reliable source and bring in qualified leads.

What is the difference between GEO, AEO and SEO?

SEO places you in the classic list of results. AEO makes you appear as the direct answer, in a featured snippet or through voice search. GEO gets you cited as a source inside an AI-generated answer. All three rest on the same technical foundations and are worked together, for your sales.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. SEO is still the price of entry for profitability. For an AI to cite your content, it first has to be indexed and readable. Google still sends about 345 times more traffic than ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity combined (Ahrefs, 2025). We build GEO on a healthy SEO base. The AI search numbers, taken one by one with their source.

How does a company become a source ChatGPT cites?

By combining a clear answer at the top of the content, verifiable business data, a logical structure and a credible presence beyond your own site. No magic prompt guarantees a citation. It is expert work on content, on the technical side and on authority. The logic is the same for Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek and the rest.

How long before it shows in sales?

The first technical and readability gains come quickly. Share of voice and citations build over a few months, because they also depend on external signals. We give you a baseline of leads at the audit, then we measure how your sales move.

What does a GEO engagement cost?

Everything starts with the audit, a paid deliverable. For the ongoing engagement, the rate depends on the size of the site, the number of pages to restructure and how competitive the ambition is. We always put a clear price in front of you on the call.

Does it work for eCommerce and large catalogues?

Yes, and it is one of the grounds where our work pays most. eCommerce traffic coming from AI now converts better than traditional traffic (Adobe Analytics), and most catalogues stay half invisible to the models. We handle the technical complexity of large catalogues at scale. What that traffic is really worth in online retail.

Do you work outside Quebec?

Yes. We work with companies in Quebec, in France, in Switzerland and internationally. The technical principles of GEO are the same whatever the market. Adapting the content to the language of the market you are after stays a separate decision.
