When someone asks
ChatGPT or Gemini
for the best — is it you?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) makes your business the one that AI search engines recommend. Millions of Indians now ask AI before they Google — and if you're not in the answer, you don't exist.

What Is GEO?

The biggest shift in search since Google — and most businesses are invisible

AI search isn't coming. It's here. Every day, millions of Indians ask ChatGPT "best CA near me", Gemini "top digital marketing agency in Delhi", or Perplexity "which interior designer in Mumbai should I hire?". GEO is the discipline of making sure your business is the answer they get.

AI search is growing 40%+ year-on-year in India

ChatGPT hit 100M weekly users. Gemini is built into Android. Perplexity is the fastest-growing search engine ever. The shift is real and accelerating.

Google AI Overviews are replacing blue links

Google's own AI Overviews now appear above organic results for 30–50% of searches. If you're not in the AI Overview, you may not be seen even when you rank #1.

GEO competition is low — the window won't stay open

Most Indian businesses haven't started GEO. The brands that establish AI citations now will be significantly harder to displace once AI search matures. The early-mover advantage is real.

GEO and SEO reinforce each other

Many GEO signals — quality content, E-E-A-T, authoritative links — also improve traditional Google rankings. Running both together multiplies the results of each.

Platforms We Optimize For

Every AI search engine that matters in India

Each AI platform has different citation signals, data sources, and trust criteria. We optimize for all of them — so wherever your customers ask, your business is the answer.

ChatGPT & ChatGPT Search
The world's most widely used AI. ChatGPT Search now indexes the web in real time and cites sources. When users ask for business recommendations, citations appear directly in the answer.
Pulls from web, Bing, and authoritative directories
Sources cited with links in responses
ChatGPT Search growing rapidly in India
Google Gemini & AI Overviews

AI Overviews live on google.co.in
Pulls from Google's own index — SEO overlap is high
Schema markup and E-E-A-T heavily weighted

What's Included

A complete GEO strategy — from audit to AI citation

GEO requires a different toolkit than traditional SEO. Here's every element we deploy to build your AI search presence.

🔍

AI Visibility Audit

We test your current visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot by running 50+ relevant queries about your industry, services, and location. We document exactly where you appear, where you don't, and why.

Foundation
🏗️

E-E-A-T Signal Building

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — the signals AI models use to evaluate whether to cite a source. We build E-E-A-T through author pages, credentials documentation, and expert content structuring.

Authority
📝

AI-Optimised Content

Creating structured, factual, citeable content that AI models prefer to reference — comprehensive guides, clear definitions, question-answer formats, and data-backed insights that AI engines pull from when answering queries in your space.

Content
🏷️

Schema & Structured Data

Implementing comprehensive schema markup — Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, HowTo, and more — that helps AI models understand your entity, offerings, and authority with structured machine-readable signals.

Technical
🔗

Brand Mention & Citation Building

Getting your business mentioned and cited in the sources AI models trust — industry publications, directories, Wikipedia-adjacent references, press coverage, and authoritative third-party platforms that feed AI training and real-time search.

Off-Page

Answer Engine Optimisation

Structuring content to directly answer the questions your customers ask AI — so your pages become the source AI models cite. This includes FAQ schemas, concise definitions, and content structured around common query patterns in your industry.

AEO
📊

Knowledge Graph Optimisation

Building a clear, consistent entity presence across the web — Google Knowledge Panel, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and authoritative directories — so AI models have a clear understanding of what your business is, does, and serves.

Entity SEO
📍

Local AI Visibility

Optimising specifically for location-based AI queries — "best [service] in [city]" on ChatGPT and Gemini. Google Business Profile signals, local structured data, and geo-specific content all feed local AI answers.

Local GEO
📈

GEO Performance Reporting

Monthly reporting on your AI visibility — which platforms cite you, which queries trigger your mention, branded search growth on Google, and Perplexity referral traffic. Clear before-and-after evidence of GEO progress.

Who Needs GEO

If your customers ask for recommendations before buying — you need GEO

Any business where potential clients search for "best", "top", or "recommended" before making a decision is at risk of being invisible in AI search — and at an opportunity to dominate it early.

B2B services in particular

Decision-makers at companies increasingly use AI to research and shortlist vendors before reaching out. If your agency, firm, or consultancy isn't cited by AI, you're not on their shortlist.

Local professional services

Doctors, lawyers, chartered accountants, architects, and designers are all being searched for in AI. "Best [profession] in [city]" is one of the most common AI query patterns in India.

High-ticket product and service businesses

The higher the purchase price, the more research a buyer does. AI is now a major part of that research process. High-value businesses need GEO to be in the consideration set.

Any category with named competitors

If AI search recommends Competitor A and Competitor B when your customers ask about your category — and not you — you're losing deals before a conversation even starts.

How GEO Works

What actually makes AI engines cite your business

01

AI models crawl and index trustworthy sources

ChatGPT Search, Gemini, and Perplexity pull from live web content. They prioritise sources with strong E-E-A-T signals, clear entity information, and consistent citations across authoritative platforms.

02

They evaluate entity authority and trust

Does the web consistently agree on what your business is, does, and is known for? Are you mentioned in trusted directories, publications, and platforms? Entity consistency is a major AI citation signal.

03

Structured, citeable content wins

AI models prefer content structured to answer questions directly — with clear definitions, factual claims, author credentials, and concise summaries. Thin or vague content is skipped.

04

Schema markup signals machine-readable trust

FAQPage, HowTo, LocalBusiness, Service, and Organization schema give AI models structured data they can parse and trust — significantly improving citation probability.

05

Third-party mentions compound over time

The more authoritative sources mention your business in context — reviews, case studies, press, directories — the stronger your AI citation signal becomes. GEO is cumulative.

Early Results

What businesses see after starting GEO

GEO is newer than SEO — but the results are already measurable for businesses that started early.

★★★★★
"I asked ChatGPT who the best digital marketing agencies in Noida were and Codos came up in the answer. Then I Googled it and they ranked #2 organically. I reached out and hired them — GEO literally made them the first agency I called. Now they run our GEO and SEO together."
AK
Amit Kumar
Founder · EdTech Startup, Delhi NCR
★★★★★
"Within 3 months of starting GEO with Codos, our brand started appearing in Perplexity answers for our category. We saw a 3× increase in branded Google searches — people were finding us through AI and then searching for us directly. Our enquiry volume from 'heard about you from AI' went from zero to about 8 per month."

Director · B2B Consulting Firm, Noida
★★★★★
"Our competitor was appearing in ChatGPT answers for our category and we weren't. Codos audited our GEO presence, found the gaps — mainly schema markup and E-E-A-T signals — fixed them in 6 weeks, and by month 3 we appeared in more AI answers than our competitor. The early mover advantage is real."

Common Questions

Everything about Generative Engine Optimization

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing your online presence so that AI-powered search engines — like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity — cite and recommend your business when users ask for product or service recommendations. Unlike traditional SEO which targets blue-link results, GEO targets AI-generated answers where your business name appears directly in the AI's response.
AI search adoption in India is growing rapidly. Millions of Indians now ask ChatGPT and Gemini questions like "best digital marketing agency in Noida" or "top interior designer in Delhi" before they open Google. Gemini is built into Android — the most popular mobile OS in India. Meta AI is built into WhatsApp, which has 500M+ Indian users. If your business isn't cited in AI answers, you're invisible to an increasingly large and high-intent segment of buyers.
Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's blue-link search results — you want to appear on page 1. GEO optimizes for AI-generated answers — you want to be cited as a trusted source or recommended business when AI models respond to queries. GEO requires different tactics: structured content, authoritative E-E-A-T signals, brand mentions across trusted sources, and schema markup. However, many GEO signals also improve traditional SEO — so they work best together.
Our GEO services target ChatGPT (including ChatGPT Search), Google Gemini (AI Overviews and the Gemini app), Perplexity AI, Claude by Anthropic, Microsoft Copilot (Bing-powered), and Meta AI (WhatsApp and Instagram). Each platform has different citation signals and content preferences — we audit and optimise for all of them as part of every GEO engagement.
GEO results typically begin appearing within 60–90 days of starting optimization — often faster than traditional SEO. Initial wins come from schema markup implementation, entity consistency fixes, and FAQ content that AI models start referencing quickly. More consistent AI citations across multiple platforms take 3–6 months of sustained work. We measure your AI visibility at the start of every engagement so you can see exactly how it changes month-on-month.
Yes — and they should be. GEO and SEO share many foundational elements: quality content, E-E-A-T signals, authoritative backlinks, and structured data. Many GEO optimizations also improve traditional Google rankings. We have a GEO + SEO bundle specifically for businesses that want to dominate both surfaces — because running both together delivers the best results for the lowest combined cost.
Not immediately — and probably not completely. Traditional Google search still drives the majority of web traffic today. But the share of searches being answered by AI is growing every quarter, and Google's own AI Overviews are already replacing blue links for 30–50% of searches. Forward-thinking businesses are investing in GEO now, while competition is low, rather than waiting until AI search becomes dominant. We recommend a combined SEO + GEO strategy for the best results today and tomorrow.
We measure GEO performance by tracking: how often your brand appears in AI-generated answers across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Copilot for target queries; the sentiment and context of those citations; branded search volume growth on traditional Google (one of the strongest downstream GEO indicators); referral traffic from Perplexity; and direct enquiries attributing discovery to AI platforms. Monthly reports show before-and-after comparison for each metric.
Our GEO services start from ₹18,000/month for the AI Foundations plan covering schema implementation, E-E-A-T optimisation, entity consistency, and monthly AI visibility reporting. The AI Authority plan at ₹35,000/month adds content creation, citation building, press outreach, and knowledge graph optimization. A combined GEO + SEO bundle is available at a discount versus running them separately. Every engagement starts with a free AI visibility audit.
