Get cited by
AI engines.
Generative Engine Optimization. The 2026 SEO. I help operators get their content quoted inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini answers — where high-intent traffic is actually deciding now.
In late 2025, sample studies showed ~12% of high-intent commercial queries already routing through AI engines (ChatGPT Search, Perplexity Pro, Claude, Gemini). For SEO-driven businesses, that's the difference between a page that converts and a page that never gets seen.
GEO is the discipline of writing, structuring, and amplifying content so AI engines cite you when they answer your buyer’s question.
Same fundamentals. Different surface.
- Rank on Google's 10 blue links
- Keyword density + backlinks
- 10–20 sources per SERP
- Win position → win traffic
- One target: Google's algorithm
- Get cited inside the AI answer
- Topical authority + clean structure
- 2–5 sources per AI response
- Be cited → win attention
- Four targets: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini
Four-week plan, measurable in 60 days.
Same shape as the SEO audit, scoped for the AI-engine target.
- 01 Live citation baseline. I run your top 25 commercial queries across ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Document who gets cited and why (you usually won't — that's the gap).
- 02 Content audit for AI citation. Which of your pages could get cited if structured properly. Schema markup gaps. Topical authority cluster maps. Citation-friendly H2 rewrites.
- 03 The 90-day execution plan. Sequenced edits + new pages. Each tagged with the engine + query they target. Includes the LLMs.txt + llms-full.txt setup.
- 04 Citation monitoring loop. Set up the agent that re-runs your top queries weekly and notifies you when citation status changes. (I build this for clients on the audit; you keep it.)
Tested across
11 brands first.
Every GEO play I recommend has already run on my own sites. I built and ran 11 brands across B2C reviews, B2B SaaS, publishing and DTC. Today I run Pickleland, a nine-court indoor pickleball club in Pflugerville, and build Alvin, an AI assistant for home-services companies.
Across clients, the same playbook has generated $200M+ in revenue. This site is the test bench: the llms.txt rollout, plus an agent that re-runs my citation queries every week and flags when an AI engine starts or stops citing me. The audit includes that same agent, built on your site and yours to keep.
