Generative engine optimization

Are you in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?

Free. Methodology open and auditable.

Why it matters

AI search is where buyers start research now.

Whether you appear in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity answers determines whether you make the shortlist — the rest of the funnel never sees the businesses that are invisible to AI.

Top of the funnel

AI answers replace the first 10 blue links

Buyers ask "best X for Y" and ChatGPT returns 3–5 named businesses. Inclusion is now table stakes for awareness.

Beyond keywords

Engines rank entities, not just pages

Schema, llms.txt, citations, and reviews all feed entity-level visibility. Classic SEO is necessary but not sufficient.

Defensibility

First-movers compound

Mentions in AI answers feed back into engine training and grounding. Late entrants chase a moving target.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask.

What is the GEO Score?

GEO Score (Generative Engine Optimization Score) is a 0–100 composite measuring how often your business appears across the four major AI search engines for queries in your industry. Weights: ChatGPT 40%, Gemini 25%, Perplexity 20%, Google AI Overviews 15%.

How does the scan work?

We generate 8 industry-relevant queries (general, local, use-case, competitor) and run them across each engine, then score how often you are mentioned, cited by URL, and ranked in the response.

Is the scan free?

Yes. The free preview shows your composite + per-engine scores plus the top 3 fixes. The full 5–8 prioritized fixes + PDF report is gated by your work email.

How accurate are the results?

Each engine has stochastic responses; we sample 8 queries and report what we observed. Re-scan in 30 days to see if your fixes moved the needle.

Will my fixes actually work?

The fix library is ordered by impact-vs-effort. Schema, llms.txt, FAQ format, and Google Business Profile are typically high-impact and ship in days. Press, podcasts, and original research are higher-effort but compound.

Why is ChatGPT weighted highest?

In 2026, ChatGPT continues to drive the largest share of AI-search-originated B2B research traffic. We refresh weights quarterly.

Can I check my competitors?

Yes. Pass competitor names; the scan adds two competitor-alternative queries which are the highest-converting AI traffic class.

Is my data shared with vendors?

No. Submissions are private to your account.

How fresh are the fix recommendations?

The fix library is refreshed quarterly as AI engine ranking signals evolve.

Will this work outside the US?

Yes. Industries and engines are global; AI Overviews coverage is best in the US, EU, UK, AU.

How often should I re-scan?

Quarterly is the sweet spot. Bigger budgets re-scan monthly to catch drift.

Can buzzi help me implement the fixes?

Yes — book a 30 min strategy call from the results page. No pitch; just a sanity check on which fixes to prioritize.
