Get Found on Google AND AI Search
SEO gets you ranked on Google. GEO gets you cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. In 2026, you need both. Kavero builds websites and content strategies that make your business visible everywhere potential customers are searching.
What Is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO, is the practice of optimizing your website and online presence so that AI-powered search engines cite your business in their generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or Perplexity a question like "What's the best plumber near me?" or "How do AI chatbots help small businesses?", GEO ensures your business appears in the AI-generated response. This is different from traditional SEO, which focuses on ranking in search result lists. GEO focuses on being the answer, not just a result. According to recent data, AI Overviews now appear on over 50% of Google queries, reaching 1.5 billion users monthly. AI-referred traffic grew 527% between January and May 2025. Businesses that appear in AI-generated answers get significantly higher trust and click-through rates because the AI is effectively recommending them.
How We Optimize for SEO & GEO
Technical SEO Foundation
We ensure your site is crawlable, fast, mobile-friendly, and properly structured with schema markup that search engines and AI crawlers understand.
Content Architecture
We build a content strategy with service pages, industry pages, blog posts, and FAQ content that targets high-value keywords and AI-citable answer blocks.
AI Crawler Optimization
We configure robots.txt for AI crawlers, create llms.txt files, and structure content in 134-167 word passages that AI engines prefer to cite.
Entity & Brand Building
We build your brand presence across platforms that AI engines trust — LinkedIn, YouTube, industry directories, and structured data — because brand mentions correlate 3x more with AI citations than backlinks.
Monitor & Adapt
We track your visibility in both traditional search and AI-generated answers, adapting the strategy as the AI search landscape evolves.
Why You Need Both SEO and GEO
AI Overviews Reach 1.5 Billion Users
Google AI Overviews appear on 50%+ of queries. If you're not optimized for them, you're invisible to half of all searches.
ChatGPT Has 900 Million Weekly Users
People are asking AI for business recommendations. GEO ensures your business appears when they ask about your services.
Brand Mentions > Backlinks
Recent research shows brand mentions correlate 3x more strongly with AI citations than traditional backlinks. The rules have changed.
AI-Cited = Higher Trust
When an AI engine recommends your business, it carries implicit authority. Being cited by ChatGPT or AI Overviews is more powerful than a #1 ranking.
Early Mover Advantage
Most businesses haven't heard of GEO yet. Getting optimized now means establishing AI visibility before your competitors catch on.
Compounding Returns
SEO and GEO build on each other. Strong traditional SEO improves AI citation chances, and AI citations drive more organic traffic. It's a flywheel.

SEO & GEO Questions
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical improvements (speed, schema, structure) are indexed within days. Content-driven SEO typically shows meaningful ranking improvements within 3-6 months. GEO results can appear faster because AI engines update their knowledge more frequently than Google's core algorithm.
Do I need a blog for SEO?
A blog is one of the most effective ways to build topical authority and rank for long-tail keywords. But it's not the only way — service pages, case studies, FAQ content, and industry pages all contribute to SEO. We recommend a combined approach.
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is an emerging standard (like robots.txt for AI) that provides AI crawlers with a structured summary of your website — services, key facts, and important pages. It helps AI engines understand and cite your business accurately.
