GEO: how to get your business recommended by ChatGPT and AI Overviews

Sample article — placeholder content to demonstrate the blog layout. Replace before launch.

More people are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews for recommendations instead of scrolling through ten blue links. If those assistants don't know you exist, you're invisible to a fast-growing slice of your market.

Write content AI can quote

Generative engines favour clear, structured, answer-shaped content. Lead with the answer, then explain. Use plain language, define terms, and break complex topics into scannable sections.

  • Add FAQ, Service, and Article schema so machines can parse your expertise.
  • Keep an llms.txt file that tells AI crawlers what matters on your site.
  • Earn mentions and citations from other reputable local sources.
SEO earns the click. GEO earns the recommendation — before the click ever happens.

This is a sample article included to demonstrate the blog layout. Replace it with your own content before launch.
