What changed

Your next customer isn't scrolling. They're asking.

A decision-maker with a problem used to open Google, scan ten blue links and click three. Today a growing share of them type the whole question into an assistant and get one synthesised answer back — with two or three companies named in it.

That answer is the new shortlist. It is assembled from what the model can find, understand and verify about each company. Being excellent is not enough: the machine has to be able to read your excellence, and find it corroborated somewhere else.

Who can build a custom inventory and order system for a mid-size distributor?

Based on published case studies and documented delivery experience, three firms come up consistently for this type of build:

1. A competitor you already know
2. Your companyThis is the job

Cited for documented delivery in distribution and warehouse systems.

3. Another competitor
Sources: yourcompany.com · industry roundup · case study

Illustrative example of the outcome GEO is built to produce.

The problem

Page one is no longer the finish line

Traditional SEO still matters — it is the foundation everything else sits on. But ranking first for a keyword no longer guarantees the buyer ever sees your name. Four things are quietly costing businesses pipeline right now.

The click never happens

AI answers resolve the question on the results page. Your rankings can hold steady while sessions, demo requests and enquiries quietly fall — because the buyer got what they needed before your site ever loaded.

A shortlist is built without you

When someone asks an assistant who to hire, it names three or four companies. That list is now the shortlist. If the model has no confident, well-sourced picture of your business, you are not on it.

Your content reads well to people, not machines

Marketing copy written to persuade is often unusable to a model: no clear claims, no structure, no evidence it can quote. Great pages get skipped in favour of a competitor's plainer, better-structured one.

The wrong facts get repeated

Models fill gaps with whatever they can find — an outdated directory listing, a stale services page, a competitor comparison you never wrote. Once that becomes the default answer, it repeats at scale.

SEO and GEO, side by side

They are complementary. Most businesses have one and not the other.

 Traditional SEOGenerative Engine Optimization
You are competing forA position in a list of linksA place inside the answer itself
Success looks likeRank, sessions, click-through rateCitations, mentions and how you are described
Content is judged onKeyword relevance and backlinksStructure, specificity and verifiable evidence
Trust comes fromDomain authority and linksCorroboration across independent sources
The buyer journeySearch, click, evaluate, convertAsk, get recommended, verify, contact you

Want to know which side of that table your business is currently on?

What we do

Six things we actually build for you

GEO is not a content subscription and it is not a rebrand of SEO. It is a technical and editorial programme with defined deliverables — here is exactly what lands.

AI Visibility Audit

We run the questions your buyers actually ask across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, then record where you appear, where a competitor appears instead, and what the models currently believe about you.

  • Buyer-question mapping
  • Competitor citation gap
  • Baseline you can measure against

Answer-Ready Content

We rewrite and build the pages an AI can safely quote — direct answers up front, specific claims, comparison tables, pricing logic, and real project evidence instead of adjectives.

  • Question-led page architecture
  • Quotable claims and data
  • Comparison and pricing clarity

Technical AI Readability

The engineering layer: Schema.org markup, clean semantic HTML, fast server responses, sane crawl rules for AI agents, and a site structure a model can parse without guessing.

  • Organization, Service & FAQ schema
  • Semantic HTML and heading logic
  • AI crawler access and llms.txt

Entity & Citation Building

Models trust what is corroborated elsewhere. We make your company, founders and offering consistent and verifiable across the sources these systems lean on most.

  • Consistent entity data everywhere
  • Third-party mentions and roundups
  • Founder and expert footprint

Authority & Evidence

We help you publish the things models prefer to cite — original numbers, documented case studies, methodology, and named experts with verifiable credentials behind the claims.

  • Original data and benchmarks
  • Documented case studies
  • Named, credentialed authorship

Monitoring & Reporting

Monthly tracking of the same question set, so you can see citation share moving, which assistant sends what, and where the next round of work should go.

  • Citation share by platform
  • Branded search movement
  • Clear next-quarter priorities

Right now, an assistant is answering a question about your category. Find out whether it mentions you.

We will run your category's real buying questions across the major AI platforms and show you what they say today — before you commit to anything.

The business case

What you get out of being cited

An AI recommendation carries the weight of a referral. It arrives without a sales pitch, it is trusted by default, and it reaches the buyer at the exact moment they are choosing.

Be named in the answer

The goal is simple and measurable: when a buyer asks an assistant who solves your problem, your company is one of the names that comes back — with a link.

Better-qualified enquiries

People arriving from an AI recommendation have already been pre-briefed on what you do and why you fit. Sales cycles start further along, with fewer basic objections.

Control your own narrative

We replace whatever the models pieced together with accurate, current, well-sourced facts about your services, pricing model, markets and differentiators.

Compounding position

Citations, entity consistency and authority build on each other. The brands establishing this now get harder to displace with every model update.

Your SEO gets stronger too

Schema, structure, page speed and genuine expertise are the same signals classic search rewards. GEO work lifts organic rankings rather than competing with them.

Reporting a board can read

Citation share, question coverage and branded search movement — concrete numbers that explain what changed, not a vanity dashboard.

How it works

A five-step programme

Every engagement starts with evidence, not opinion. You will know where you stand before we touch a single page — and you will see the number move every month after that.

01

Baseline & Question Set

We build the list of real buying questions in your category and run every one across the major assistants. You get an honest picture of where you stand today and who is being recommended instead of you.

02

Gap & Opportunity Analysis

We trace why competitors are being cited — content structure, third-party corroboration, technical readability — and identify the shortest path to changing that in your category.

03

Technical Foundation

Schema markup, semantic structure, crawlability for AI agents, and performance work land first. This is the layer that makes everything published afterwards usable to a model.

04

Content & Authority Build

We produce the answer-ready pages, evidence assets and off-site corroboration that give the models something specific and trustworthy to quote about you.

05

Measure, Report, Iterate

The same question set is re-run monthly. We report citation share by platform, show what moved, and prioritise the next block of work against it.

How an AI model reads a business website and turns it into an answer — the pipeline our technical work is designed to feed.

Coverage

Every surface your buyer might ask

Different engines weigh evidence differently — some read the live web, some rely on trained knowledge, some do both. We work across all of them, because your buyers do.

ChatGPT

Both trained knowledge and live browsing. We work on the corroboration and structure that make you a safe answer to cite.

Google AI Overviews & AI Mode

The zero-click layer above organic results — driven by structured data, page clarity and existing search authority.

Perplexity

Citation-first by design. Sourceable, clearly attributed pages are what earn a place in its answers.

Google Gemini

Deeply tied to your Google surfaces, entity consistency and Knowledge Graph presence.

Microsoft Copilot

Bing-indexed and enterprise-facing — often where B2B research actually happens.

Claude & assistant integrations

Increasingly embedded in the tools your buyers already work in, drawing on the same public evidence base.

And on your own property

Most of the leverage sits on assets you already control. These are the levers we pull first, because they are the fastest to change and the easiest to measure.

Schema.org structured data
Semantic HTML and heading logic
FAQ and question-led pages
Comparison and pricing clarity
Case studies with real numbers
Named expert authorship
Consistent entity information
Crawl rules for AI agents
Page speed and clean rendering

Who it is for

GEO pays off fastest when buyers research before they contact you

If your customers compare options, read up on vendors, or ask around before making a decision, an assistant is already part of that process.

B2B services and consultancies

Where buyers research vendors before they ever contact one, and being on the shortlist decides whether you get the brief at all.

SaaS and technology companies

Comparison questions — you versus the incumbent — are now answered by assistants. That answer should be based on your facts.

Professional and specialist firms

Legal, medical, financial and engineering practices, where trust signals and credentialed expertise decide who gets recommended.

Considered-purchase eCommerce

High-value products people research before buying — where the assistant increasingly performs the comparison on the buyer's behalf.

When we will tell you it is too early

If your site has no technical foundation, no published evidence of your work, or a brand presence that barely exists outside your own domain, GEO will not have anything to build on. In that case we will say so and point you at the groundwork first — usually a properly built website and a handful of real case studies. We would rather scope that honestly than sell you a programme that cannot work yet.

Why WDF

An engineering team doing marketing work

Most of GEO is not copywriting — it is structured data, semantic markup, crawl behaviour, site architecture and performance. We build custom software and AI systems for a living, so the technical half of this work is not something we outsource.

We work on how models actually behave

We build with these models daily. Our recommendations come from how retrieval and citation genuinely work, not from repackaged SEO checklists with the word AI added.

Evidence before invoices

Every engagement opens with an assessment against your real buying questions. If the data says GEO is not your bottleneck, we will tell you that instead of selling you a retainer.

Transparent, fixed-cost proposals

You get a defined scope and a fixed price covering audit, technical work, content and reporting. No hourly surprises, no vague monthly allocation.

You own everything

All content, markup, documentation and data belong to you outright. No proprietary platform, no vendor lock-in, nothing that stops working if you leave.

One team for the whole stack

If the work uncovers a rendering problem, a broken integration or a site that cannot be crawled properly, the people who can fix it are already on the project.

Common questions

GEO questions, answered

The things decision-makers ask us most before starting a Generative Engine Optimization programme.

GEO is the work of making your business one of the sources AI systems build their answers from. Traditional SEO competes for a position in a list of links; GEO competes to be inside the answer itself — named, described accurately and cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews about the problem you solve.

Something not covered here?

Claim your place in the answer

The businesses being recommended by AI today are the ones that made themselves readable, verifiable and quotable first. That position gets harder to take with every month it goes unchallenged.
