Generative Engine Optimisation
A GEO agency helps brands improve how they are found, cited and represented in AI-generated answers. It focuses on the evidence and sources AI systems retrieve when explaining categories, products and providers.
IgniteStack analyses cited sources, brand entities, page accessibility and independent authority to show why generative systems reference some brands over others. We then prioritise retrieval, content and citation improvements.
GEO complements SEO and AEO but concentrates on the evidence generative systems retrieve and use to construct recommendations.






GEO, SEO and AEO
SEO, AEO and GEO overlap but optimise for different discovery surfaces. IgniteStack connects them so brands can improve visibility across traditional search, direct answers and generative recommendations.

A GEO agency measures where a brand appears across generative search then improves the technical, content and authority signals that influence whether AI systems retrieve, cite and recommend it.
Generative Engine Optimisation is the process of improving how a brand and its information are understood and surfaced by AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI.
SEO primarily aims to improve rankings and organic search traffic. GEO focuses on visibility inside generated answers including brand mentions, citations, comparisons and recommendations.
We measure prompt inclusion, recommendation position, competitor share of voice, citations, source influence and changes across the AI platforms that matter to the customer journey.
Timelines vary by the visibility gap and work required. Technical and content changes can be picked up quickly while authority and citation growth typically compound over a longer period.
GEO can influence visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Copilot. We prioritise the platforms and prompt types that matter most across your customers’ discovery, comparison and buying journeys.
