Be visible where answers are created, not just where links are listed
Generative engine optimisation
Search has changed. People no longer scroll through pages of results. They ask AI tools questions and trust the answers they are given. If your brand is not part of those answers, you are invisible at the exact moment decisions are made.
NEXOPTIMIZE is the solution. Our Generative Engine Optimisation services position your content to be understood, trusted, and selected by AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and voice assistants. We help your expertise show up where it matters most, inside the answers themselves.

What is Generative Engine Optimisation?
Generative Engine Optimisation is the process of optimising your content so AI powered search tools include it when generating answers.
Unlike traditional SEO, GEO is not about ranking a page and hoping for a click. It is about influencing which sources AI models choose when forming a response. GEO positions your content as a reliable reference that large language models can confidently draw from.
At its core, GEO focuses on clarity, structure, authority, and usefulness.
Why Generative Engine Optimisation matters
User behaviour is shifting fast. While Google still drives traffic, a growing number of users now rely on AI tools for direct answers. Many of those users never visit a website at all.
That means visibility no longer depends solely on clicks.
When your brand is mentioned or cited in an AI generated answer, you gain exposure at a high trust moment. Your insights are shared, your authority is reinforced, and your brand becomes familiar, even without a site visit. Over time, this builds recognition, credibility, and preference.
AI tools are not a trend. They are now part of how people search, learn, and decide. GEO ensures your content works with that reality, not against it.
How generative engines work
Understanding how AI engines create answers explains why GEO is effective.
They understand the question
Generative engines analyse intent, context, and phrasing to determine what the user is really asking, not just the keywords used.
They search for relevant information
The system scans a wide range of sources such as websites, documentation, articles, and trusted databases. Some tools search in real time, while others rely on trained and connected data.
They evaluate content quality
AI engines prioritise information that is clear, accurate, well structured, and consistent across sources.
They combine multiple sources
Rather than relying on one page, generative engines pull insights from several sources to build a complete answer.
They generate a new response
The AI rewrites the information in its own language, creating a natural, conversational answer. Content that is easy to summarise is more likely to be used.
They attribute sources when available
Some tools include citations or mentions, while others do not. Even without a direct link, being used as a source shapes what users see and trust.
GEO vs traditional SEO
GEO does not replace SEO. It extends it.
Traditional SEO focuses on rankings, keywords, backlinks, and driving clicks from search engine results pages.
GEO focuses on being selected as part of an AI generated answer.
This requires content that is easy to extract, summarise, and trust. It rewards clear explanations, factual accuracy, structured formatting, and topical authority rather than keyword density alone.
How to get featured in Generative AI engines
GEO is not about manipulating AI systems. It is about making your content easier to understand, trust, and reuse.
