GEO
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews: Search is undergoing a fundamental transformation. From our office in Bielefeld, we make sure your content appears in AI-generated responses.
GEO and AI SEO Agency
Generative Engine Optimization makes your content visible in AI-powered search systems. It’s not a replacement for traditional SEO, but rather a logical extension of it. That’s because more and more users are getting their answers directly from ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.

Why Traditional SEO Is No Longer Enough
Google is displaying AI-generated answers directly in the results for an increasing number of search queries. ChatGPT and Perplexity answer questions without users having to visit a website. Those who optimize solely for traditional rankings will lose visibility. GEO complements your existing search engine optimization by incorporating the perspective of AI systems: How do language models interpret your content? Which sources do they cite? And what do you need to change to ensure your website fits in? The good news: With targeted optimization, you’ll become visible right where your target audience is looking for answers.
Structure that AI systems understand
AI models process content differently than traditional crawlers and evaluate context, clarity, and source quality. We optimize your content so that it is recognized as a reliable source: with clear statements, structured data, and web development that prioritizes machine-readable formats. The result: your expertise is cited, not that of your competitors. This pays off: Those who appear as sources in AI responses gain visibility and trust. At the same time, your website remains understandable and appealing to human readers as well.
GEO encompasses several interrelated disciplines. From content structure to technical markup to monitoring strategy: Here’s a look at what we’re specifically working on. Each of these areas helps ensure that your content is recognized and cited by AI systems as a reliable source.
These companies know how we work
The most important factor at GEO is the content itself. AI systems prefer content that is clearly structured, factually sound, and unambiguously worded. We analyze your existing texts and optimize them so that language models can extract the key messages and use them as responses. This means: precise definitions, unambiguous statements, and a logical text structure. Each page is given a clear thematic focus, making it easy for AI systems to categorize the content under a specific topic. At the same time, we ensure that the texts remain interesting and understandable for human readers. Optimization for content creation and AI systems are not mutually exclusive. Particularly important: paragraph length, logical heading structure, and the balance between depth and clarity. As a GEO and AI SEO agency, we therefore focus on the text first.

„To me, having a strong partner is important. Someone who is “passionate” about their work, who offers well-reasoned professional objections but also accepts and continues to fully support my decisions as a client when I choose a different path. I’ve been working very successfully with seitenweise in this way for many years—both in day-to-day operations and on many large-scale projects.“
