GEO & AI Search

Generative Engine Optimization for Swiss Businesses

How does your business appear in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode and Perplexity? Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) connects technical accessibility, useful content and verifiable information. I help Swiss businesses assess their visibility in AI search and prioritise practical improvements. Terms such as AI SEO, ChatGPT SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) describe related approaches.

HOW WE REVIEW

How we review AI visibility: separate brand mentions, source links and factual accuracy

A single ChatGPT screenshot is not enough. We review a fixed set of purchase-oriented Swiss queries across several systems and distinguish mentions, linked sources and factual accuracy.

Sample Sandblue AI visibility matrix comparing query, AI system, brand mention, source link and next action
Sample prompt panel: We record repeated observations rather than isolated screenshots, because AI answers vary by time, language and context.

From a user question to a useful action.

01 / QUESTIONS

What do prospective customers ask before they choose a provider?

02 / FOUNDATIONS

Which pages, evidence and technical signals support a useful answer?

03 / OBSERVATION

How do the brand and sources appear in selected AI answers?

This illustrates our workflow, not a guaranteed placement.

QUICK ANSWERS

The key questions about GEO and AI search.

Short answers to help you decide what matters first.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO describes work on content and technical foundations for AI-powered search experiences. It includes clear answers to relevant questions, demonstrable expertise and a site whose important pages can be accessed.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO improves discoverability in search results. GEO adds a focus on generated answers and source references. The work overlaps: sound SEO, helpful content and clear brand information matter in both.

Can you guarantee a mention in ChatGPT?

No. Answers vary by system, question, time and available sources. We can observe visibility and prioritise useful improvements, but cannot promise a mention or citation.

Explore AI visibility

How do we measure AI visibility?

We define relevant questions, record answers and sources with the system and date, then compare patterns over time. Referral traffic and enquiries add context but cannot capture every AI interaction.

What will you receive from GEO consulting?

We agree the exact scope first. Typical deliverables include:

Agreed deliverables and their contents
DeliverableWhat you receive
AI-search baselineDocumented answers to relevant questions, including system, date, brand references and visible source links.
Content and technical findingsSpecific gaps in accessibility, topic coverage, claims, evidence and internal linking.
Prioritised action planTasks ordered by potential value, effort and dependencies, with owners and useful checkpoints.

What do we review for GEO and AI SEO?

We review relevant user questions, technical accessibility, your content, selected third-party sources and observed AI visibility.

Questions and decision journeys

Which research and comparison questions lead to your offer, and which pages should answer them?

Technical accessibility

Can important content be crawled, indexed, read as text and found through internal links?

Content and credibility

We review your content and selected third-party sources, including industry publications, directories, comparison sites and reviews. We examine where your business is mentioned, whether details are consistent and which sources appear in the AI answers reviewed.

AI visibility

Where do your brand, competitors and source links appear for a defined set of AI-search questions?

GEO does not replace SEO. Google says AI Overviews have no extra technical requirements beyond eligibility for regular Search.

Common questions about GEO, AEO and AI search

Are GEO, AEO, AI SEO and ChatGPT SEO the same thing?

These terms overlap and are not consistently defined. AEO emphasises answering specific questions, while GEO focuses on visibility in generative answer systems. ChatGPT SEO refers to ChatGPT, whereas AI SEO is used more broadly. What matters for your business is the relevant search context and the actions it calls for.

Do I need an llms.txt file?

Google says no additional AI text file is needed for AI Overviews or AI Mode. Other systems should be evaluated separately. We prioritise accessible pages and useful content first.

How soon will results change?

That depends on the starting point, implementation, crawling and each system. A baseline and later comparison are more useful than a blanket deadline.

What does GEO consulting cost?

A focused review and ongoing support involve different scopes. After a short discussion, you receive a proposal with defined work and deliverables.
