What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) focuses on ranking your website on Google’s results pages. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) focuses on making AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview recommend your business by name when someone asks a relevant question. SEO gets you into Google’s list — GEO gets you into
AI’s answer.
Which AI platforms does SEO Offer Hunters optimise for?
We optimise for ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. These platforms handle the large majority of AI-assisted search queries globally.
How long does it take to see results?
Most clients begin seeing measurable AI search visibility improvements within 60 to 90 days of starting a structured GEO strategy. Traditional SEO results on Google typically follow a similar timeline, with the strongest growth usually visible at the three to six month mark.
Does SEO Offer Hunters work with businesses outside India?
Yes. Most of our clients are based outside India primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, and Singapore. We work fully remotely across time zones.
What industries does SEO Offer Hunters have experience in?
We’ve worked with healthcare clinics, dental practices, B2B manufacturers and exporters, restaurants, professional services firms, e-commerce businesses, and local service providers across more than 10 countries.
What does GEO actually cost?
Pricing depends on the scope of your project the number of markets, languages, and AI platforms involved, and the current state of your online presence. We offer a free initial consultation and put together a specific proposal based on your situation. Reach out and we’ll give you a clear picture of what’s involved and what it would cost.
Is AI search optimisation worth it for small businesses?
It depends on your industry and where your customers are looking. For local service businesses — healthcare, dental, legal, home services AI platform visibility is increasingly relevant because customers are asking AI for recommendations before they search Google. For e-commerce or B2B, the value depends on how your buyers research. We’ll tell you honestly during a free consultation whether GEO makes sense for your business right now.
Q: My competitor is showing on ChatGPT but my business isn’t. Why?
A: This is the most common thing we hear and the answer is usually the same: your competitor has stronger entity signals, not a better business.AI platforms like ChatGPT decide who to recommend based on how clearly they can understand and verify a business. That means a named founder, consistent location data, well-structured content, schema markup, and third-party mentions on credible sources. If your competitor has built those signals even recently they’ll appear. If you haven’t, you won’t. No matter how long you’ve been in business.The good news: these signals can be built. That’s exactly what our GEO audit reveals and fixes.
Q: How do I get my business to show up on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity?
A: There’s no single button to press but there is a clear process. AI platforms recommend businesses that have three things in place: clear identity (named people, verified location, consistent information everywhere), authoritative content (pages that directly answer questions buyers ask), and structured data (schema markup that tells AI exactly what your business does).We call this GEO Generative Engine Optimisation. We audit where you currently stand, identify the gaps, and build those signals systematically. Most clients start seeing AI visibility improvements within 60 to 90 days.
Q: I rank well on Google. Why am I still invisible on AI search?
A: Google rankings and AI visibility are two separate things — and this surprises most business owners.Google ranks pages based on backlinks, keywords, and technical SEO. AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini don’t pull from Google’s ranked list. They build their own understanding of businesses based on entity signals, content depth, and structured data. A business can sit on page one of Google and still be completely absent from AI-generated answers which is exactly the situation many of our clients are in when they first come to us.Both strategies matter. GEO builds on top of your existing SEO it doesn’t replace it.
Q: How quickly can I start appearing in AI recommendations?
A: Most businesses see measurable AI visibility improvements within 60 to 90 days of starting a structured GEO strategy. Some improvements like appearing in Google AI Overview for specific queries can happen faster once schema markup and content changes are indexed.Full entity authority, where AI platforms consistently recommend you across a broad range of relevant queries, builds over 6 to 12 months. It compounds over time, which is why starting earlier matters more than starting perfectly.
Q: Is AI search visibility actually bringing real enquiries — or is this just a trend?
A: Real enquiries, not a trend. A 2025 study found that AI-driven recommendations have a 30% higher conversion rate than traditional search results because users who act on an AI recommendation have already decided to trust that source. They skip the comparison stage.Over 36% of people have discovered a new business or product through ChatGPT. And according to Adobe data, 76% of business owners now say appearing in ChatGPT answers is essential to their digital strategy. The shift is happening and the businesses building AI visibility now are the ones capturing that demand.
Q: What happens if I ignore AI SEO and just focus on Google?
A: You can maintain your Google presence but you’ll be missing a growing share of your market. Traditional search traffic is already down 22% since AI adoption accelerated, according to BrightEdge research. Gartner predicts search engine volume will drop a further 25% by end of 2026 as users shift to AI-generated answers.The businesses being recommended by ChatGPT and Gemini today are not necessarily the biggest or oldest in their field. They’re the ones with better AI visibility signals. If you wait until AI search is dominant to start building those signals, you’ll be starting 2 to 3 years behind competitors who moved early.
Q: Can a small business actually compete with bigger brands on AI search?
A: Yes and this is one of the most important things to understand about GEO. AI platforms recommend based on signal quality, not company size. A well-structured small business with a named founder, clear content, and proper schema markup can appear ahead of a large corporation that hasn’t built those signals.In fact, nearly 47% of brands currently have no GEO strategy at all which means the first-mover advantage is still available to most small businesses right now. This window won’t stay open forever.
Q: How do I know if GEO is actually working for my business?
A: We track it every month not with vague “impressions” metrics, but by actually testing your business name and service keywords across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, and Gemini. We document where you appear, where you don’t, and what changed from the previous month.You’ll see your own business being recommended by name on AI platforms. That’s the clearest proof there is. We also track referral traffic from AI platforms in your analytics, which has been growing at over 123% annually for small businesses that are actively doing GEO work.
Q: Where do I start if I want to fix my AI visibility today?
A: The best first step is a free AI visibility audit. We check your business across the major AI platforms, show you exactly what comes up (or doesn’t), and give you a clear picture of the gaps and what it would take to fix them.It takes about 20 minutes of your time. No commitment, no sales pitch on the first call just a real, documented picture of where your business stands in AI search right now.
