SEO + GEO for cross-border brands

From invisible to named in the answer.

Shoppers now ask AI before they decide who to buy from. We help brands — especially Chinese brands going global — get indexed, get covered and get recommended, in whatever market they sell.

What we actually do

See what AI says about you, then fix it item by item

Every piece has a visible output: the questions asked, who you are compared with, which sites AI cites, and what to fix on your site.

Ask what customers really ask

By market and in its language, across every major AI and Google.

What is changing

AI is already choosing — and buying — for shoppers

Most sellers still focus only on Google rankings and ads. The way customers buy has already moved.

AI gives three names

Ask for “the best X brand” and AI recommends a handful. If you are not one, you never got compared.

Google is still the foundation

AI assistants lean on what search engines can find and trust. Not indexed means hard for AI to know you.

AI trusts what others say

Reviews, media mentions and consistent profiles decide who gets recommended — not just your own site.

About GEO

What is GEO?

GEO (generative engine optimisation, or AI search optimisation) is making sure AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Meta AI can find your brand, understand it and include you when customers ask for a recommendation.

Do I still need SEO?

Yes. SEO is the foundation and GEO the layer on top. AI assistants lean heavily on content search engines can find and trust, so we do both.

How does AI decide who to recommend?

Mainly two things: whether the information AI can read about you is clear and consistent, and what third parties — review sites, media, forums, customers — say about you. Our job is to build up both.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend me?

No — and nobody can. Each platform decides its own answers, and they change. What we can do is improve the factors that drive recommendations and re-check the same questions monthly so you can see what moved. Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed placement.

Working together

What do I need to provide for the free check?

Just your website, your main markets and the questions customers usually ask. No logins or passwords.

How is the free check different from the full diagnosis?

The free check uses three questions to see whether AI names you today. The full diagnosis uses 20–30 questions, covers competitors, your site, reviews and media, and ends with a 90-day plan. See Services for the full comparison.

What does the monthly partnership include?

We carry out the plan from the diagnosis: technical fixes, writing and improving content, aligning brand profiles across platforms, outreach to reviewers and media, and a monthly re-check with a report.

Do you work outside English-speaking markets?

Yes. GEO works the same way in every language. Checks are run in your market’s language; for large volumes of content in other languages we arrange native-speaker review with you.

Do you need access to my website?

Not for the diagnosis. For monthly work we usually need view access to Google Search Console. For site changes you can give us admin access, or we can hand the changes to your developer.

Do you buy links or post fake reviews?

No. Search engines and AI platforms actively fight these tactics, and getting caught can leave you worse off than doing nothing. We work only with genuine content, reviews and coverage.

Results

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes and indexing usually show within weeks. Appearing in AI answers typically takes two to six months, depending on how competitive your category is and how quickly third-party reviews build up.

How will I know it’s working?

Each month we re-ask every AI assistant the same customer questions and track mention rate, position in the answer, how you are described and which sites are cited — alongside Search Console and traffic from AI.

Can small or new brands do this?

Yes. AI recommends based on how clear your information is and how strong your reputation is, not just size. Small brands with clear profiles and solid reviews in a niche are often named.
