GEO AGENCY · GENERATIVE & ANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

AI ANSWERS FIRST.
RIGHT NOW IT'S
NAMING YOUR COMPETITOR.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). I make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite your brand by name when a buyer asks what to choose. Former Head of SEO at Expedia ANZ, where organic became the number one revenue channel.

REAL FOUNDERS. REAL POSTS.
"they mention all my competitors, but my brand doesn't even appear. I'm afraid of falling behind." DTC founder · r/WebsiteSEO · 2026
"bigger brands pop up when people ask ChatGPT... my company never shows up. I guess AI just doesn't know we exist?" Store owner · r/branding · 2026

Neither of them has a credibility problem. They have a visibility problem, and the machine answering their buyers doesn't know they exist yet.

THE NEW LAYER OF SEARCH

Search stopped being ten blue links. It's an answer now.

GEO Generative Engine Optimization. Getting your brand surfaced and recommended inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
AEO Answer Engine Optimization. Structuring your site so engines can lift a clear, correct answer that features you, not a competitor or a listicle.
GEO vs SEO SEO earns the click. GEO earns the mention before the click. You need both, and most of your competitors are only doing the first one.
HOW I GET YOU CITED

AI answers are built from parts. I build the parts.

01
Entity & Structure

Make machines certain who you are. Schema, consistent brand signals, and a clean site so AI can read and trust you instead of guessing.

02
The Sources AI Reads

AI answers are assembled from reviews, comparisons, listicles, and authority pages. I find which sources taught the answer your competitor, and get you into them.

03
Answer-Ready Content

Comparison and buyer-question pages, structured so an engine can lift your brand as the answer. The same play that wins featured snippets now wins AI citations.

THE TRACK RECORD BEHIND IT

I made organic the number one channel at Expedia. Now I do it for AI.

ENTERPRISE TRACK RECORD

Head of SEO at Expedia ANZ: recovered 40%+ of organic traffic, then grew another 25%, until organic search out-earned paid, display, and affiliates combined.

BUILT FOR AI TO READ

On Dorada.mx, my own store, 86 comparison and buyer-question articles addressing 200K+ searches, structured so Google and AI lift the answers. See the ecommerce build.

WHY NOW

The window is open because almost no one is doing this yet.

Buyers are already asking ChatGPT and Perplexity what to choose, and most independent brands are simply absent from those answers. The brands that structure for AI now become the default recommendation while competitors are still arguing about whether it matters. Early movers get cited. Everyone else gets summarised out of the conversation.

Who this is for

  • + Brands with a real product and reviews who are watching AI recommend competitors by name and themselves not at all.
  • + Hotels, ecommerce, and tourism brands where the buyer now asks an AI before they ever hit your site.
  • + Founders who move fast and want to own the category answer before the field wakes up.

Not for

  • × Brands with no reviews, no authority, and no product the market already likes.
  • × Anyone wanting a guaranteed ranking by Friday. This is positioning, not a hack.
  • × Teams that need a committee to approve a single page.

Why me and not a "GEO agency" that started last month?

20 years of the fundamentals GEO is built on entities, structure, and authority, the same things I have optimised since before most GEO agencies existed.
I test on my own brands I run GEO and SEO on my own stores first, so you get patterns that already worked, not theory off a webinar.
Citations, not vanity rankings I optimise for being the named answer in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, the place your next buyer actually starts.

WHERE THIS FITS

GEO is the lens, not the product.

Getting cited by AI matters because it shows where your customers are being sent instead of you, and I never promise an AI answer as an outcome. What I sell is the Revenue Sprint: win the demand direct, own the customer, reactivate them. GEO is one of the inputs that feeds it.
