GEO, AEO, AIO? It's still organic search, so it's still our job to get you found there.

Everyone remain calm

LLM chatbots are causing one of the biggest shifts in organic search we've seen since we started in 2013. It could be the biggest ever.

Google's AI Mode is here, user adoption of ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others is growing rapidly, and brands are already seeing the effects on core SEO metrics. Impressions are often stable with clicks down, while conversions from ChatGPT can be five times higher than Google. Measurement is harder, and new user journeys are less and less clear.

That's why we're doing everything we can to learn what works and what doesn't for GEO, and are helping our clients maximise their visibility in AI search tools.

So what can you do?

You can optimise for AI search now

AI search is in its infancy. What we know about it is orders of magnitude less than what we don’t know.

But crucially, AI search is another way for people to find your products and your brand. That makes it an opportunity you can, and quite possibly should, actively pursue. At the point of seismic external change, the best course is nearly always internal stability. So learn what you can and apply new learnings as quickly as you can. But there's no need to change things up drastically.

While it's early days, there are plenty of parameters and tactics that we know influence GEO.

Our GEO services

It's early days in GEO, but there are tactics that work, and there are effective approaches to testing and learning. And with our 13 years in organic search strategy, we're developing our GEO practice all the time.
