Language models recommend a small number of brands per category. Being one of them is a structural problem with a solution.

Generative Engine Optimisation: being the source ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini quote when your customers ask. The fastest-growing discovery channel, and the least contested.


The problem

What this fixes

01

Never named in the answer

You are established, credible and entirely absent from what the model says about your category.

02

Content models cannot parse

Claims without evidence, structure without semantics, and pages that read well to a human and mean nothing to a retrieval system.

03

Missing from the sources models trust

Models lean on a predictable set of third-party sources. If you are not present in those, you are largely invisible to them.

How we run it

The same four stages on every engagement, in the same order, because doing them out of order is how budget gets wasted

A magnifying glass held over the search landscape.

We establish exactly where you stand today and what is capping you, with the findings ordered by impact rather than by how long the list looks. Nothing gets recommended before this.

An isometric field of blocks, each one a page being prioritised.

A sequenced roadmap with milestones, built around the searches and prompts that grow revenue. You will know what is being worked on this month and why it beat everything else.

Interlocking links, representing work shipped rather than recommended.

We do the work, directly or alongside your developers. Nothing sits in a recommendations document waiting for somebody else to find time for it.

A circle of hands, representing an ongoing partnership.

Monthly reporting against enquiries rather than impressions, then the next round of priorities. If something did not work we say so and say what we are changing.

Start with an audit

Optimised for the engines your customers actually use

What clients say

Generative Engine Optimisation, answered

Something specific to your site? Ask us directly.

No, and be suspicious of anyone who does. Models are probabilistic and change without notice. What we can do is make you the most citable option in your category and measure the trend.

Only if you have a specific reason. Blocking GPTBot or PerplexityBot also blocks the citations, and for most businesses that trade is a bad one.

Faster than classic SEO in an uncontested category - sometimes weeks - and slower where the model has settled on incumbents. The entity and structure work is what moves it.

Most work sits inside a monthly plan rather than being quoted line by line, because the disciplines overlap. The plans page publishes the whole scope - all 105 things a plan can cover - and then the comparison lists every lever at each tier, including what is deliberately excluded. One-off audits and consulting are quoted separately.

No lock-in. Search compounds, so three months is the shortest window where the numbers mean anything - but that is advice about expectations, not a clause you are signing.
