Get Cited by
ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini.

More UK consumers are starting their searches inside AI tools rather than Google. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini for the best local business in your category, they get a named answer. GEO is the work that puts your business in it.

The Visibility Gap

You Can Rank on Google and Still Be Invisible to AI

Traditional SEO

Page One Rankings

SEO is working — you rank on Google and customers find you. But Google search is one channel, and more people are now skipping it entirely and going straight to an AI tool instead.

The AI Search Gap

Invisible in AI Answers

When that same customer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity who to call, they get a completely different answer pulled from different sources. Your Google ranking doesn't carry over.

GEO Closes the Gap

Cited Across All Channels

GEO builds the signals AI tools use when forming answers — entity recognition, citations from trusted sources, structured data. Done right, your business shows up across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.

The GEO Framework

Six Workstreams.
One Goal: AI Citation Authority.

Getting cited by AI isn't one thing — it's several things that need to work together. Miss any of them and the others don't fully land. Here's what the work actually involves.

01

Entity Authority & Knowledge Graph Establishment

AI models don't rank pages — they cite businesses they've seen referenced consistently across the web. We get your brand properly into the Knowledge Graph: clean Organisation schema, consistent name/address/phone across 40+ directories, and coherent brand signals that AI can verify and trust.

02

Citable Content Engineering

Generic content gets passed over when AI is summarising a topic. We write in the formats AI actually cites — clear FAQ answers, specific comparisons, data-backed statements with a real point of view. Content that gives AI something worth quoting.

03

AI Citation Signal Network

AI tools pull from multiple sources when forming answers. One mention on one platform isn't enough — you need references across review sites, trade directories, local press, and community forums. We build that breadth so AI consistently sees your brand as the go-to in your category.

04

Platform-Specific GEO Optimisation

ChatGPT's live search runs on Bing. Perplexity has its own index and tends to favour well-cited, structured content. Gemini draws from Google's index and Knowledge Graph. Each platform works differently, so we tailor the work to each rather than applying the same approach across the board.

05

Advanced Schema & Structured Data

Structured data is how machines actually read your business. We add JSON-LD markup across Service, Product, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Speakable, and BreadcrumbList — giving AI models a clear, machine-readable picture of what you do, where you are, and who you serve.

06

AI Visibility Monitoring & Reporting

AI models change their behaviour as they update. We test ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude against your core keywords every month — checking where you appear, how you're described, and which competitors are being mentioned in your place. You get a full report each month.

Common Questions

GEO — Explained

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

GEO is the work of getting your brand cited inside AI-generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini about the best local option in your category, GEO is what puts your name in the response. Where SEO gets you ranked in a list, GEO gets you mentioned in the answer itself.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

SEO is about ranking in Google's search results. GEO is about getting your brand recognised and referenced by AI tools when they generate answers. The two are separate — strong Google rankings don't carry over into ChatGPT or Perplexity. GEO addresses that gap.

How long before my business appears in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers?

Most clients see progress within 60–90 days. The timeline depends on how established your current online presence is — the stronger the starting point, the faster things move. And unlike paid ads, the work compounds. New citations, schema updates, and directory listings all reinforce each other over time.

Do I need GEO if I already rank well on Google?

Yes — the systems don't share signals. A first-page Google ranking doesn't mean anything to ChatGPT or Perplexity. They're working from different data, updated on different schedules. A growing number of UK customers now check AI tools before they check Google, so the gap is worth closing.

Which AI platforms does your GEO service target?

We cover ChatGPT (OpenAI / Bing), Google Gemini (Knowledge Graph + Google index), Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot (Bing), and Claude. All five are tracked monthly and we adjust the focus based on which ones your customers are actually using.

"Highly recommend RankLocal. I was apprehensive at first as had been let down with a previous agency I used, but went with the Growth Engine and the level of insight, professional development and web exposure obtained from this was way above my expectation. Dan is clearly very knowledgeable in this field and extremely proactive."

Elliot Boorman

"Recently used Rank Local to redesign my website. Really happy with the finished product and the company were a professional outfit throughout the process."

Local Guide

"Thanks Rank Local — recently redone my website, very pleased with it, great work. Was a pleasure dealing with Daniel. We had our new site up and running within 3 weeks."

Daniel Byatt

"I had a site for my 1 man company for years that never really gained much traction so I decided to bring it up to date. Rank Local rebuilt the site and it looks so much better — modern and easier to navigate. I've already been contacted by people from the site so whatever they did, they did it right. Thanks again Dan."

Chevy Roach

"Excellent service and great people to work with. Sorted all our SEO ranking for 247 Cars with Google and we are on first page for all our service areas."

Andy Johnson

"Great service from Rank Local Agency. They redone my site — now I appear in AI search results for my business in Richmond. Using them for my social media management, all going well, nothing to fault. Recommended them to a friend also."
