Be the answer when buyers ask AI.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the new SEO. We make your catalog readable, citable, and rank-worthy for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews — without sacrificing your classic organic traffic.
Classic SEO. Plus GEO.
Buyers ask ChatGPT to compare products. They ask Perplexity for the best industrial supplier in their zip code. They read Google's AI Overview and never click through. Ahrefs and SEMrush still measure the old game beautifully. They're largely blind to the new one.
- AI-readability. Can a language model parse your product copy without hallucinating?
- Schema completeness. Product, Offer, Review, FAQ — the JSON-LD nutrients AI crawlers feed on.
- Entity clarity. Is your brand a recognizable entity? Are products linked to canonical IDs?
- Citation-worthiness. Does each page have a clear, quotable answer for an AI engine to cite?
- AI-bot crawlability. GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended — your robots.txt opinions matter.

Frequently asked questions.
What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for traditional search engines that return ranked link lists. GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — optimizes for AI engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude) that synthesize answers and cite sources. Signals overlap, but they are not the same game.
Will GEO work hurt my classic SEO?
No — they are additive. Schema, performance, entity clarity, and content quality lift both. We engineer for both surfaces in the same pass.
How quickly do AI engines pick up GEO changes?
Schema and robots.txt changes can show up in days. Citation-worthy content and entity recognition takes 4–12 weeks. We track AI-referrer traffic from day one so progress is measurable.
Do AI engines actually drive ecommerce traffic yet?
Yes, and it is growing fast. We are tracking 5–15% of organic traffic from AI engines on stores that have done basic GEO work — and the share is climbing every quarter.
Can you do GEO for non-BigCommerce stores?
Yes. GEO is platform-agnostic. We work on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and custom builds.
Custom commerce that ships fast — and costs 60–80% less.
