What changed
Search stopped sending clicks. It started giving answers.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google for “the best option in Bangalore”, they get one answer built from a handful of cited sources — not ten links. If your brand isn’t one of those sources, you’re not in the answer. Generative Engine Optimization is the work of becoming one.
One answer, few sources
An AI answer is assembled from a short list of pages the engine trusts. Page one on Google no longer guarantees a seat.Different engines, different indexes
ChatGPT reads Bing. Perplexity fetches live. Google AI Overviews lean on organic rankings. Each needs its own signals.Entities beat keywords
Engines cite brands they can verify — consistent name, address, founders, reviews and mentions across the web. Thin or contradictory profiles get skipped.
Services
Three disciplines. One team. One report.
We run SEO, AEO and GEO as a single engagement because they share one foundation: a technically sound site, a verifiable entity and content that answers questions directly. You get one monthly report with Google rankings and AI citations side by side.

Process
How a GEO engagement works
Every engagement starts with a free audit and runs in four stages. First signals in AI engines usually appear within 2–4 months; consistent citations for competitive queries take 6–12. Those numbers go in the proposal, not the fine print.
- 01
Audit — week 1
We check how every major engine sees you today: what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google answer when asked about your category, and who they cite instead. You keep the report whether or not you hire us.
- 02
Entity & technical — weeks 2–4
Schema, rendering, indexing in Google and Bing, llms.txt, and one consistent identity across every profile engines check.
- 03
Answer-first content — month 2 onward
Pages written to be quoted: direct answers, original data, named authors, dated updates. Plus the off-site mentions engines look for.
- 04
Track & report — monthly
Which prompts cite you, on which engines, and what changed. Screenshots behind every number.
Tools and guides
Check for yourself first
You don't need an agency to see where you stand. The free tool writes the 10 prompts buyers ask about your category and opens each in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google.

Why engineers
Why an engineering team is better at this
Most of what makes a page citable is technical: how it renders, how it's structured, whether crawlers can read it, how fast it loads, whether its schema says what the page says. Marketing agencies send those as tickets to a developer. We are the developer.
- We fix rendering and schema in your codebase, not in a recommendations deck.
- We build structured content systems — hundreds of answer-first pages with consistent schema — instead of writing them one at a time.
- We ship llms.txt, sitemaps, redirects and indexing fixes the same week we find the problem.
- We shipped production software for 20+ startups before we did this full-time, so we know what “just change the template” actually costs.

Questions, answered
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
GEO is the practice of making your brand one of the sources AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — cite and recommend when they generate an answer. It combines entity building, technical structure, answer-first content and off-site mentions.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO earns a rank in a list of links. GEO earns a citation inside a generated answer. They share foundations — technical health, authority, content — but GEO adds entity consistency, retrievable structure and mentions across the sources each engine trusts. Most brands need both.
How long does it take to get cited by ChatGPT?
Usually 2–8 weeks after a page is indexed in Bing for low-competition prompts; 6–12 months for competitive category queries. Perplexity is faster, often within two weeks. Google AI Overviews follow organic rankings.
Do you guarantee rankings or citations?
No — and nobody honest does; engines change weekly. We guarantee the work, the reporting and the timeline, and we show you citations as screenshots, not estimates.
What does GEO cost in India?
Our plans start at ₹50,000/month, month to month, with prices published on our pricing page. Every plan includes SEO, AEO and GEO and a monthly AI-citation report. The audit is free and comes first.
Do you only work with Bangalore companies?
We're based in Bengaluru and most clients are here, but we work across India and internationally. Local clients get the extra benefit of our Bangalore entity and review network.
