Generative Engine Optimization

Your customers are asking AI.
Is it answering with you?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews now answer buying questions directly — citing only a handful of businesses. Mentio makes sure yours is one of them.

One email. We reply with what AI currently says about your business — no strings attached.

Why now

Search changed. The results page is being replaced by the answer.

People no longer scroll ten blue links. They ask an assistant and act on the one answer it gives. If your business isn't in that answer, you don't lose a ranking — you lose the customer.

01

AI answers come first

Google now places AI Overviews above traditional results, and assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity skip the results page entirely. The answer is the new first page.

02

Only a few sources win

An AI answer cites a handful of sources — not hundreds. AI systems pick businesses they can crawl, parse and trust. Everyone else is invisible, no matter how good their classic SEO is.

03

Invisible means replaced

When AI doesn't know your business, it doesn't say "no results." It confidently recommends your competitor instead. Every unanswered question is a referral you never see.

FAQ

Questions owners actually ask

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?
GEO is the practice of optimizing a website so AI systems — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews — can find it, understand it, trust it and cite it in their answers. Classic SEO optimizes for a list of blue links; GEO optimizes for being the answer itself.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO targets rankings on a results page a human scrolls through. GEO targets AI-generated answers, where the assistant picks only a handful of sources. GEO builds on solid SEO but adds AI-specific layers: crawler access for AI bots, llms.txt, citable content structure, structured data, and entity-level brand signals.
What exactly do I get in the audit?
Three deliverables: a problems analysis scoring your site across 8 AI platforms, a developer-ready action plan with copy-paste code (JSON-LD, llms.txt), and a plain-language summary that explains what's broken, which customers you're losing and why it matters now.
How long until I see results?
Technical fixes take effect as soon as AI systems re-crawl your site — typically weeks. Authority and citation growth is gradual; we track it with monthly re-audits so you see the real delta, not promises.
Does GEO replace my current SEO?
No — it extends it. Everything we implement follows search-engine guidelines and strengthens classic SEO too. You keep your rankings and add visibility in the AI layer where a growing share of buying decisions now starts.
