Generative Engine Optimization gets your brand named, sourced and recommended inside AI answers - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. This is where a growing share of buying research now starts, and where most brands are completely invisible. As a generative engine optimization agency, RankJoe engineers the content, technical signals and third-party authority that make AI confident enough to cite you by name.
GEO is not classic SEO with a new label. Answer engines don't rank ten links; they synthesise one answer from sources they understand and trust. We make you that source - by being the clearest, most authoritative, most machine-readable option for the prompts your buyers use.
Who it's for
- Brands that don't show up when buyers ask AI for the best option
- Companies seeing competitors recommended inside ChatGPT and Perplexity
- B2B and SaaS teams whose buyers research with AI before they ever call
- Marketers who want to own the answer layer before it gets expensive
If AI doesn't cite you, you don't exist
When a buyer asks an AI for a recommendation and your competitor's name comes back, you lose a sale through a channel you can't even see in Google Analytics. You only notice when pipeline quietly dries up. And because models build their memory of who to recommend now, once a rival becomes the default answer, buying that position back gets expensive. GEO wins the citation early - making you the brand AI trusts and names first.
What we deliver
AI-ready content
Content restructured the way LLMs read it - clear answers, comparison tables, entity clarity - so models can extract and quote you accurately.
Technical machine-readability
Structured data, semantic HTML, internal linking and an llms.txt so AI crawlers can parse and trust your site.
Citation & authority building
Digital PR, high-authority listings, reviews and a clean Wikidata footprint - the third-party signals AI weighs most.
AI visibility tracking
Ongoing monitoring of whether, where and how accurately you're cited across every major engine, with a monthly score and gap analysis.

Why RankJoe
One team, every channel
Most agencies do one thing. We connect SEO, AEO, GEO, web, app and paid advertising into a single growth system, so your channels reinforce each other instead of fighting over budget. The site we build is engineered to rank; the content that ranks also gets cited by AI; the ads send traffic to pages that actually convert.

We rank on Google and get cited by AI for our own services. If the playbook didn't work, you would never have found us in the first place. Our own visibility is the proof, and we hold your campaigns to the same standard.

Radically transparent reporting
Live dashboards and plain-English monthly reports tie every action to the only metrics that matter - traffic, leads, pipeline and revenue. You always see exactly what your money bought, with no smoke and no jargon.
Built to move fast
Async, milestone-driven delivery built for lean teams. You brief us once and the work ships continuously - no endless meetings, no waiting weeks for a deck. Momentum is a feature, not an afterthought.
Frequently asked questions
How do you actually get cited by AI?
Three layers working together: content models can extract, a site they can parse, and the third-party authority they trust. Strong content with no authority won't get cited, and authority with unreadable pages won't either - so we build all three.
How do you measure GEO?
We track your presence across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude for your key buyer prompts, score it, and report the competitor citation gap monthly. You see exactly where you appear and where you don't.
How long until AI starts citing me?
Early citations often appear within 30-60 days as content and technical fixes land, with authority signals compounding over 3-6 months.
How do we get started?
Every engagement begins with a free audit. We show you exactly where you stand today, where the fastest wins are, and a clear, prioritised plan to get there. If it's a fit, we scope the work and get moving - usually within a week, with no drawn-out onboarding.
Are there long contracts?
No long lock-ins. We earn the relationship month to month with real results and transparent reporting. Most clients stay for the long term because the work compounds and pays for itself - not because they're trapped in a contract.
Who will I actually work with?
A senior, founder-led team - not a rotating cast of juniors. You get direct access to the people doing the work and a single, accountable point of contact who knows your account inside out.
How do you report on results?
You get a live dashboard plus a monthly report written in plain English, tying every action to traffic, leads, pipeline and revenue. There's never a question about what your investment bought - the numbers are always in front of you.
