GEO: get your business recommended by AI.
Generative engine optimization for businesses that want to be named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Google AI Overviews who to hire.
GEO (generative engine optimization) is the work of making a business easy for AI assistants to understand, trust and cite. Vantacite does this through an AI visibility audit, entity and schema setup, answer-first content, third-party citations and monthly tracking of which AI tools mention you. GEO plans start at $999 per month, or $1,499 per month combined with SEO.
Why GEO matters now
More buyers now ask an AI assistant for a recommendation instead of scrolling a list of links. The assistant usually names only a few businesses. If it cannot find clear, consistent and trusted information about you, it names someone else.
GEO does not replace SEO. AI search tools often draw on pages that already rank and on sources they trust, so the two work best together.
How our GEO works
- AI visibility audit. We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews the questions your buyers ask, and record who gets named and which sources are cited.
- Entity and technical setup. Organization and service schema, consistent name, address and description everywhere, open access for AI crawlers, and an llms.txt guide to your key pages.
- Answer-first content. Pages that answer real questions in the first two sentences, with prices, comparisons and FAQs that AI tools can quote accurately.
- Citations and mentions. Reviews, directories such as Clutch and Google Business Profile, industry publications and community answers that AI tools trust.
- Monthly tracking. A share-of-voice report showing how often you are mentioned for your target questions, and what changed.
