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.

Aufbau eines Textes für Suchmaschinen und KI-Antworten

Content Strategy for AI

We analyze your existing content and identify which passages AI systems can use as sources. Based on this, we develop content that works for both search engines and language models: clearly written, factually accurate, and structured in a way that allows AI systems to extract the key messages.

Strukturierte Daten im Schema-Format für eine FAQ-Seite

Structured Data and Schema

Schema markup helps AI systems categorize your content: What is an FAQ? Who is the author? Which company is behind it? We implement the appropriate schema types and keep them up to date. This improves your chances of being cited as a source in AI responses.

AI Overview: Optimization

Google AI Overviews display AI-generated summaries directly in search results. We optimize your content so that it is used as a source for these summaries: with clear definitions, structured answers, and expert depth that Google considers trustworthy.

Monitoring der Erwähnungen in KI-Plattformen

AI Platform Monitoring

How often are you cited as a source in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews? We measure your AI visibility using specialized tools and identify where you’re already being cited and where there’s still room for growth. The results are directly incorporated into your content strategy.

Building Content Authority

AI systems favor sources with verifiable expertise. We help you build that authority through expert articles, clear author profiles, consistent focus areas, and links that demonstrate your expertise in a specific field. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term investment.

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.“
